Overclocking 1700+ with SVC GC68, max speed?

[gnuel3]

I received the magic 1700+ Tbred chip and once I get my 8RDA+, I'll like to overclock it. However, I dont really want to upgrade my hsf so I'm wondering, at what speed should be safe?

Just apply some as3, clamp the sucker on and go slowly, 5mhz fsb at a time. It should be safe I would say, even though its all aluminum. At stock speed, the gc68 should keep that thing around 35C idle, so if overclocked, it should only be 5C higher or so (idle). Maybe at full load, temps might peak from 45 to 50C (depending on how much voltage u give it). But with this heatsink, i would not recommend going over 1.75 volts. Watch your temps carefully too.

It's the 1.5v version so I hope it runs cool. I probably wont be upping the voltage cuz Im scared to do so, heh.
