just curious. i'm running an AMD 64 3500+ socket 939 and i was wondering what speeds i could expect when overclocking. i'm currently running at 2.5MHZ at temps between 30 and 36 degrees C on a liquid cooled system.

(p.s. not sure if this should go in the OC forum or the CPU forum. sorry if its in the wrong section)

Welcome to the forums.

I would say you are running @ 2.5ghz instead of mhz as that would be the best underclock I have ever seen on such a nice cpu. I would say depending on your hardware you should be able to reach somewhere between 2.6-2.7.

What is your psu, ram, vedio card, etc?

if u game you will want to get a better videocard, at least a 6600gt. and that psu looks pretty bad you might want to buy one from a more reliable comapny (ie. fortron, pc&p, enermax). as far as overclocking goes you'll probably get 2.6-2.8 ghz out fo it with good cooling, though you may need to runa divider if you don't have good ram

I would not trust raidmax with any component of my puter, man. They are an awful company. You should consider getting an antec, enermax, or seasonic power supply
