so i just moved to college and my roomate is a well versed oc'er. i know about it but ive never really gotten into it myself...until now. my roomate conviced me to invest in an slk-800-u and after seeing how cold my cpu was running i couldnt just sit and watch.
so ive been testing configs for the past week or so and ive finally arrived at something stable [its been 13 hours under stability testing + 5 hours under heavy user use]:
amd xp 2700+ [tbred b]
asus a7n8x deluxe mainboard
corsair xms twinmos 512mb
bios ver: 1002 beta =D
mult: 12.0
fsb: 200
mem timings: 5-2-2-2-1.5 [slightly lower than stock]
vCore: 1.750
vDimm: 2.7
slk-800-u cpu heatsink + some $3 40cfm fan
idle temp: 40C
load temp: 45C
resulting core freq: 2400mhz
resulting mem freq: 200mhz [max advertised for my ram]
in all the benchmarks i run i beat out the 3200+ and am utterly trashed by the 3.2ghz p4 [but thats a given]. i wanna push the cpu further but it doesnt wanna go anymore. any ideas?
