I tried yesterday night to get 2.7 Ghz or 2.8 ghz stable with my winnie but, after several hours I knew it was impossible.Now I am completely sure that my Winnie caps at 2.6Ghz.
Results obtained with SUPERPI SSE2 (Patched) 32M:

One of the things about OCing the A64's is they just seem to hit a wall. My rig so far OC's at 2.54 Ghz, prime95 24 hours stable. At 2.55 Ghz it fails prime95 after less than an hour. I don't think I'm going any further. :(

I guess I'll have to settle for a 27% OC. :laugh:

Yeah, you're right.
Also, it seems there is only one correct voltage for a determined Cpu speed. Mine for example, is set at 1.450v for 2.603 Ghz, if I rise the vcore, it is not stable, if I lower the vcore, it won't be stable at all. The same happens to my cpu with 1.400v, I can go till 2.4 Ghz with the stock vcore, and what surprised me was if I rised the vcore to 1.4125v or 1.425v the system wouldn't be stable! Strange thing, isn't it?

I wonder how much I can get out of my 4000 san diego... Also, whats ur cooling, because you can get a prometia, and you can double ur voltage, and get beyond 3ghz!:shocked:

I am using a Thermalright XP-120 with a Panaflo U1A.
CPU Idle temp: 30º
CPU Load temp: 40º
What voltage would you suggest?

im not to sure. I gave 2.0v to my old Athalon XP 1700+ got it to 2.4ghz on air. (note, my the room is 61*F) I'm not to experienced with voltages involving that proc.
