It's alright. Some odd things here and there like when I updated to the latest bios, 200Mhz for the memory clock is no longer an option, but I can do a stable overclock of my 3000+ from 2.0Ghz to 2.3Ghz and it goes through the prime 95 torture test, so I'm happy with it.

I have a chaintech VNF3-250 Multiplier 10X FSB is set at right now at 230Mhz for stability so it passes prime 95.

The heat doesn't change when I overclock but it does rise when I up the voltage. I think I'll wait till I get a better HS/Fan to up the voltage. My board lets me go up to 1.75v I believe. All the games and whatnot run fine, and my comp hasn't crashed yet and it is on alot. Maybe I'll wait to OC...

Yea, my 3000+ that I picked up from newegg runs at 2.45Ghz at default voltage with the retail HS/Fan. Only thing though, it fails the stress testing on Prime 95 because it doesn't round a number at what prime 95 expected or something. Its right near the beginning. Benchmarks pretty sweet though.

So go with the Zalman Aluminum/Copper? I was also looking at the Thermaltake Venus 12, but it is probably noisy when it is cooling the CPU under a full load.

Currently at 2.4Ghz with the retail HS and Fan. I just ordered the Kingmax ddr466 so that will be the memory I will be using.

I currently have my 3000+ running at 2.4Ghz and am looking at going up around 2.6Ghz but this will require adding more voltage which will probably increase the heat. Anybody have any HS/FAN combo recomendations? Also, if anybody else is running this chip, what have you achieved?

Actually it's running at 240 x 10. I kinda figured that was the divider, the memory clock. Thanks for the explanation though, that clears up everything. I was looking for something that looked like some kind of ratio or something, that is why I wasn't sure if the memory clock was considdered the...

I just picked up an AMD 64 3000+ and a Chaintech VNF3-250. Right now I still have ddr266 ram from my old machine but am looking at getting some new ram. I have the FSB set to 240 and the Ram frequency set at 100mhz right now. I am curoius though, I have seen people posting about using a memory...
