Hi,
I was just fiddling around with overclocking my X2 3800+, not too keep it like it yet but just for a bit of fun. I have a stock AMD cooler that came with the CPU although I have 4 case fans with fan controller and stuff so the case has decent cooling. I don't want to increase the voltage at all and I was just wondering what I should expect? I got it up too 2.2ghz with 220x10 (200mhz overclock) and it stayed pretty cool and stable, but as soon as I put it too like 222x10 it would fail too boot, I don't think it crashed, just wouldn't go past the boot screen. I'm not sure if this is just as much as I should expect, which I don't mind as it's just something too fiddle with. What do other people get with their overclocks? My motherboard is an Asus M2NPV-VM by the way.
Thanks, Josh
