That is definatley not a crap oc...very average, but I'm sure with some better cooling you could do a lot better.

It depends on your perspective of average. I conside an average overclock for the 1700's to be in the 2.2-2.4 range. There are a lot of them that high, but maybe only 5% of the users have them above 2.5Ghz. I think that if you were to get a fan that was pushing upwards of 50CFM for that SLK800, you could hit 2.5.

2.5 GHz is above
2.1 GHz is below
Or at least that's how I always looked at it, where true average falls in-between I don't know, and is more of a matter of opinion that anything.
I'm running at 2325 MHz with a similar chip, although my temps are higher (bad cooling)

You could get a Tornado, and 5v mod it. Go over the Alternative Modding forum, and search for how to do it there. This will decrese the CFM, but not a great deal, and reduce the noise.

yeah but i think this board measures high anyway, 5-10C if im not mistaken, i just can't be bother to upgrade the bios
also when i touch the heatsink it doesnt feel hot at all, nothing near 50C, its just a lil warm, around 40 i rekon at full load

what about a Tt smart fan II, i got a **** load of them in my box, 5 of them total, all pumping full speed. Let me tell you its a very loud machine but gets it done, i need to get a slk 800 tho, i only got a volcano, slk would help alot, what would you say??
(how good do the bolt on slk 800's work? sound like thye would work great, better for ppl who are taking it in and out, it would have a better connection to your cpu, wouldnt it?)

You may just want to make sure that your heatsink is seated properly, and that your AS3 is applied neatly. You'd be surprised by how much a reapplication of thermal compound can reduce temps by, but other than that, everything seems good. My friend has the same proc, and it takes him 1.825 to get to 2.4, and 1.875 to get to 2.5. With an SLK-800, 2.4 should be quite safe, but 2.5 will probably yield in very high temps.

Mine at 2.5 runs at close to 60C full load...I think it was 58C to be exact...
