Just recieved my IC7

[Snufalufagus]

I have a Costa Rica 2.4C, Zalman 7000cu, 1gig HyperX PC3500(2.6v) and an IC7. I don't know much about overclocking but I gave it a try and here are my results:

250 FSB, 5:4 divider & everything at default voltage=3.01ghz. Temp was 35C
267 FSB, 5:4 divider, CPU at 1.55v, Mem at 1.7v=3.2ghz. Temp was 38 to 39C at idle.

Are these good results and if so can I run my system safely at these speeds? Also what tests should I use to bench my system for stability?

how in teh world did you get those temps....wow, same setup as me cept te ram and its at 2.8v but that shouldnt affect cpu temp

with abit boards you'll either love it or rma it.....i love mine

i think you mean Mem at 2.7V

nice temps, i think you got room to go higher. use prime95 and 3dmark2001 looped to test stability

Yeah I ment 2.7v on the memory. What is the best way to check CPU temps while running tests?

use the hardware doctor utility that came with the mobo
