I have mine running stable at 2.4, in fact it's so stable it seems like I'm running at default. So the other night I decided to overclock my system
I wanted to see how high I could go and what settings were needed.
The highest I could go and stay stable was 146fsb (2646Mhz).
I had my PCI/AGP dividers at fixed 33/66, 1.85vCore, and 300mhz
RDRAM bus frequency.
In Sandra, my Arithmetic Bench was Dhry 5125/ Whet 3214
MultiMedia INT 10476/ FP 12765
Memory 3056/3046
The Arithmetic and MultiMedia beches showed great improvement, and even though I took a hit in mem scores I was only down by around 200 points.
I discovered that after about 140fsb the voltage has to be increased 0.25v for every increase in one fsb.
So, my guess is that if I increased my voltage to the max possible, which for my TH7II-Raid is 2.2vCore, I could hit a Front side bus of 160. This would equal a cpu speed of 2880! That would be just over a 1Ghz overclock! That will be my goal once I decide to pull off my waterblock and take a look at my processor again.
Anyway Let me know how high you can go and what settings you're using. Has anyone hit 2.8 with their 1.8?
