Hey guys... been having some fun doing my first OC today 
Basically i followed the simple 3-point plan found on the forums here...
1. Found my max HTT = 330, ((335 failed Prime95, 340 not enter Windows... ))
2. Max CPU = 270 x 9 @ 1.5v LOAD TEMP = 48oC (not tried lower MULTI x higher HTT) (280x9 failed Prime95)
3. Not got round to finding Max MEM -- Thats tonights fun !!!
I'm hoping that @ 270x9 ((= 2430MHz)) i will be able to run MEM divider at 0.75 or 150MHz this would add up to 270x0.75 = 202.5 for my crappy cheap generic 200MHz DDR RAM
So, hopefully i will have achieved my aim of 2400+MHz on all STOCK gear -- NO extra FANS...but...looks like i have missed the ultimate 2600+MHz FX like OC
P.S. These are initial results but am going to try to get a stable setup and leave Prime95 running over-night !!! Will update with more news
*****UPDATE*****
STILL NOT FINISHED CONSOLIDATING/ STABILITY TESTING (DONT GET HUGE AMOUNTS OF TIME) BUT... I AM:
Currently running my CPU 280 x 9 (CPUZ finds it as 280.9 lol) = 2520 (2528.39 CPUZ)
- This seems PRETT stable... not done full 24 PRIME...yet... will do though
In order to rn thiss i bumped my VCORE up to 1.55v - in my BIOS this is the MAX but i hear that 1.6 - 1.65 is safe for AMD64 3000+ Venice???
Trouble is that my MEM DIVIDER options seem a little limited...in BIOS i can either run @:
100 2:1 htt x 0.50 = Mhz 140Mhz WAY TOO SLOW
133 1.5:1 htt x 0.66 = Mhz 184.8Mhz too slow ???
166 1.2:1 htt x 0.83 = Mhz 232.4Mhz too fast (almost certainly)
200 1:1 htt = Mhz 280Mhz WAY TOO FAST
Suppose i have 2 options:
1) Run current config with 0.66 MEM DIVIDER and try to 'tighten' up mem settings ???
2) Try a different CPU multi x HTT combo.... might be able to do 300 / 315 x 8... this would make my MEM run nicely @ x 0.66 Multi with either a small OC or under-clock depending if i get it to work at 300 / 305 / 310 / 315 x 8...
DO YOU THINK OPTION 2 WOULD BE BETTER IN MY SITUATION? OR IS THERE A CPU PERFORMANCE HIT RUNNING AT X8 RATHER THAN X9 ?????
THANKS ALL
