Evening, I recently upgraded my computer to a DFI LANPARTY SLI-DR (Yeah I know its built for higher end OC'ers), AMD Athlon 64 X2 +4800, BFG 7800GTX, and 1GB Corsair XMS. The +4800 is already fast, but I know it could flex more then it is. So I broke open CMOS, and gave it a go. I played around with Multipliers on my last computer setup, I knew they were one option in raising clock speeds. This time, I played around with the FSB Frequency, increasing the FSB by 10, I saw an increase in clock speed.
Now the +4800 runs at 2.4, just playing around with the FSB, I got to here:
That is the 1st core
2nd core
My question is, how do I make sure this is as stable as can be? Do I just run it over an extended usage period and see how well things go? Or is there a program I can run that can really work the CPU and get the kinks out?
And my next question, taking Temps into consideration (CPU idles at about 35oC and active at around 40+oC at this speed) how much farther do you experts out there think I can go? My goal is to at least make 2.6 (FX55) and eventually 2.8 (FX57) per core. What do you all think?
