Ok I've been building PCs for some time now (about a year and a half) and just placing parts where they go is getting old (only because I'm running out of money for exciting parts). So I want to try to overclock my AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+ (3.2GHz) CPU. It's not the Black edition so it is only partially unlocked. meaning I can only lower the multiplier (at least thats my understanding). But, if I lower the multiplier to 15 (from standard 16) and raise the operating speed to 233 (from 200) I should be able to get about 3.5GHz out of it. I did that and upon restart my CPU shows a speed of 3495MHz which is great. But I can't find a voltage that will stabilize it, Right now, at those settings I can't boot windows. It freezes during the load screen.
So can anyone tell me anything about this?? what voltages / speeds are you running with this CPU? I know there are other factors in OCing like HT link speed and RAM voltage. Please help me out with any information you can.
Thanks
