I just get my X2 3800+, so happy, it works at 2.8GHz, and it seems able to work at higher Frequency, because I can boot it up at 3.0GHz when 1.55v, may be 1.6v or 1.65v can make it work at 3.0GHz stable.

my 3800+ is E6 core, very easy to overclock

but a strange thing is I need to load the BIOS default setting after put the CPU into the socket. otherwise can not go over 2.6GHz at all !! don't know why. anyway, it working at 2.8GHz very stable, haha, I will try 2.9Ghz, and 3Ghz later on

PS: dual core make the WindowsXP much smoother than single core Athlon64!!

Awesome clocks. I wish I had saved for one of these, they seem to be the best overclockers at the moment.

Why are you people trying to make me spend my hard-earned money?

If you would stop posting about how well your friggin' X2's overclock, I wouldn't have to buy one! JERKS!

Hi, i use FSB:RAM=1:1(200MHz) and TCC5 Gskill.

here is my timings start from Trc:
08
15
02
02
02
02
4708
01
Enabled
Auto
0
7
1
8.0
Fastest
5
16
Disable

I haven't test it so much as I am so busy with my school assignment.

I am using XP-120 and AS5 cooling method.

at 2.6GHz, it only need about 1.425v, I haven't try lower.

But as I mentioned, I get the higher overclock result after I load the BIOS default, before I did this, I unable to go over 2.6GHz at all, even 2.61GHz can't boot into Windows. don't know why.

You have a really good chip there. It seems that the E6(Crippled Toledo) X2 3800's in general OC real well. I'm still burning in mine but so far [email protected] stable. You have a good shot a 3 Ghz.

Well on mwave they advertise the X2 3800 as a Toledo. Figured it was a type-o but hopefully the one I just ordered will be that good...

Might have to avoid using the 2gig ram for the time being and go with my PC4400 G.skill ram to see what the X2 will do.. I know my OCZ 2gig stick are going to hold me back..
