a couple of things to put into perspective...

A) Doesn't the stock 1700+ only run @ 1400?...so being *not that satisfied* w/ a 600 mhz overclock or a 800 mhz overclock sounds kinda bad - yes i know *most* can overclock that high but still! that's a nice overclock!
B) isn't the chip only like 60ish$...and with that 600 mhz overclock it puts it into territority of chips that are 150+$ (too lazy to look up actual prices )

just my .02 cents...other than that good job on the overclock..

besides cooling, psu, just allow the sucker to burn in after each oC. for a few days..i.e. run a distributed computing client or prime95 for a few days. then oc. a bit more...same thing. its amazing what a burn in can do

This whole burn-in thing has been discussed b4 and it is generally regarded as rubbish.

I believe many engineers would tell u the same thing..the CPU has already been burnt-in during the manufacturing process...and there's absolutely no point for you to burn-in it more

I burnt it in for about 3 weeks running Folding@home at 2.2GHz and it just won't do 2.3GHz. Like I said before, I am satisfied with this overclock because my friend bought a 2400+ that could overclock to about the same as mine. Sometimes a little higher, sometimes a little lower. Just depended on his temps and PSU rails. Thx for the help though
