Finished my OC

[CheesePoofs]

I've got a winchester 3000+ with the stock cooler, DFI Lanparty UT nF4 Ultra-d, and corsair value ram.

I was able to reach 268*9=2412mhz on 1.56 volts (shows up as 1.52 in the bios, and 1.504 in CPUZ). Memory is at 3:4 ratio which equals 201mhz. It primed for 11 hours before I stopped it, and is memtest stable also.

Idle temps are 23-33, load temps reached 56-57 after 11 hours of prime. The temps kind of scare me, because I'm pretty sure my board reads them low. Do you think they could cause any long term effects?

They shouldn't unless they pass 60 or hit 70.

Those temps are nothing to worry about.

teah...it's when you're at 55 idle and 70 load you start to worry. like me. (damned 78* prime!)

I think i got either lucky with mobo or cpu... winnie 3000 with asus a8v and im so far @ 2.4 ghz..in windows... trying to tweak it more.. havent run stress tests yet.. so i guess it doesnt count

I was really surprised to see mobo actually booting into windows fine with 300 fbs with 8 multi..

You should be fine with those temps...maybe replace the stock cooler for 5-10C less... may also result in a higher overclock...
