How far can I push an Opteron 165 w/ stock cooler?

[TriggerHappy101]

I bought a new CPU for my (now old) rig and its on its way here. I sold my old PC to my brother but I was planing on putting the 120 Ultra extreme on it. Now thats going on my quad core.


How far can I push the opteron 165 and still keep the temps safe and be 110% stable w/ the STOCK cooler..


The chip is one of the best stepping and my rig is very overclock friendly.

The board is an Epox 9npa+ultra
OCZ 2GB DDR
Stock CPU cooler.

I got 2.7 out of mine with the stock heatpipe HSF, almost 3.0 with a Big Typhoon.

1.5v (or less) and low 50c's under load - this is what you'll see if you google, the lower the less stress
