Hey, I'm kinda new to AMD and haven't really worked with them much but i just got a Opteron 165 about 3 weeks ago with 1GB PC4000 RAM and Asus A8N-Sli Mobo. Right now i have the Opty running at 2600MHz (289 * 9) at 32C at idle and 40 at load what i think is good the temps have stayed the same from when i had it at 2400MHz. Now i want to push this far as they are known to go what is needed to do so and what the this known to go to stable. I have a good water cooling system and my comp stays cool in my basement. I been doing 5MHz jumps and my next jump will be 294 then 299 or 300 will it go past 300? i seen alot of talk about people having problems with passing it. Here's are some SS and 3dMark scores.

Not bad so far. It's better than I got with my 165... though I'm only pushing 1.4 volts and I haven't loosened the memory timings at all. What you have so far is quite good, but I'd imagine with water cooling you can push it a bit further :)
