Finally overclocked Clawhammer successfully!

[Adn4n]

My 2.0GHz Clawhammer, now officially runs at 2.3GHz. I've had trouble hitting even 2.2 before. I thought it was the ram, because of the limited ram voltage(2.7) on my board; but memtest didn't agree with me. So yesterday I checked my temperature directly with an instrument, and I realized that my CPU was running hot. The mobo software reported wrong numbers. Turns out that one of my intake fans was slowed down severely. I fixed it, and now my 2.3GHz (10x230)1:1 is running at 30C idle, and 46 under load. Not the greatest overclock ever, but it sure is satisfactory after all those failed attempts. Passed SuperPi and Prime over a 24 hour period.

Don't you love it when a plan finally comes together. Enjoy my man (assuming you're a male of course). Those dang fans and psu's and heatsinks can be so tricky. I have had fans running too slow as well hindering my cpu
