What would you like? CPUID, CPUIDZ, Sandra, 3dmark99, 3dmark2001, 3dmark2001SE, 3dmark2003, UT2003 or some other benchmarks? The one benchmark where it's far behind a top of the line Intel with the right memory and mainboard is in memory transfer speeds.

And I assume you'd like to get screenshots as jpg's. Not a problem. When overclocking I do it in intervals of 5 then 2 MHz on the FSB and adjust the voltage to be as low as possible. Let me start.

And as early as a few more components and a Lian-Li case arrives, I'll show you what a Gigabyte A7NNXP combined with 4200 OCZ DDR can do (supposedly pre-tested in combination at 250 MHz FSB but I've heard of higher FSB's and also ones that can only manage 190 MHz). Read some reviews of the A7NNXP: it's even got a semi-hidden bios just for overclocking although the FSB and multiplier can be adjusted while in Windows. For voltage adjustments, I'll be using an Antec TruePower 550 which uses one 5.25 slot with a special panel for precise adjustments. My only worry is using the SLK9000 copper beast without bolts: I think it might be too heavy. So I also ordered the new Thermaltake Volcano 12 just in case.

You shall see, oh skeptic that calls me a troll.:camera:

When will i see? lets see now please. 5200+? thats what? an 80% overclock on air? Can you even hit that with the highest multiplier available for the athlon xp?

Edit: Your overclock appears even more amazing as your air cooled CPU is faster than the fastest Athlon XP EVER on 3dmark 2k3, which was LN2 cooled. And it wasnt even done on your magic motherboard! Hurry up with those screenies! AthlonXP @ 2800+ Mhz

Edit 2: After reading all of the english links on Gigabytes website about the A7NNXP, none point out overclocking as a stong point of the board except one, tweaktown australia, which didnt specify sepcific settings of any kind, or method of stability testing. They claimed a 252mhz stable fsb, which is extremely shady as ive never personally seen an nforce2 board operating over 230mhz fsb, and i build Nforce2 based computers pretty much daily. Its even further suspicious that a board with so many on-board peripherals would be stable at high fsb speeds as this is usually a hinderance.
