Overclocking my X2 6000+

[Vinny73]

Hi

Anyone taken there 6000+ up to 3.2ghz? Im guessing its got to be acheivable on this CPU as AMD are bringing out the 6400+ at 3.2ghz with the same core technology. However I've read that the 6000+'s run hot.
Well mine is stable 45-46c in a moderate but very wet summer here in the UK :-(

Anyone got one running on the Asrock mobo im using? Do you have a guide to overclocking this CPU?

Any help appreciated.


Thanks
Vin

Yeah, do a google, there is another forum where some guys have taken the 6000+ X2 to 3.2GHz and beyond that even. I almost went with the 6000+ X2 myself, but now I'm waiting for the next big jump forward. What stepping did you get?

I think 3.2 ghz will be attainable as I have reached 3.2ghz with a 5600+ and a rappy motherboard with only a vdimm voltage and no vcore, With a good fan some people get 3.4.

yes, and the good news is that you won't need a heater this winter!

It consumes about as much power as a Q6700, it's not THAT bad.
