What kind of OC is normal on a P4 3.0C

[egandt]

I have just gotten and P4 3.0C processor and the MSI 875P MB, which with bios 1.5 finally works properly, now my question is what kind of Over clock is normal for this processor, I've got it running at 3.22 with a front side bus of 215 and a memory clock of 430 at 2,.5,3,3,6 I've also got it running at 3.51 with a front side bus of 234 and a memory clock of 388 2,2,2,5. I'm currently running with the second configuration which puts the memory bandwidth just ahead of 400 running at 2,3,3,6 which is all I've been bale to get the memory to run at. I'm intrested in what other people have found their processors capable of and also any suggestions, as I would like to break 3.6 (note all voltages are normal except from the CPu with is running at 1.65 instead of 1.55 as I noticed that the MSI board tends to be a little low on voltage and thus the CPU is actually running at about 1.59 to 1.62 volts).

Thanks for your input.

Breaking 3.6 would be exceptional, but not impossible, if you're lucky. I'd say 3.3 is more like normal.

But memory is another matter.

I would say I have seen most of these 3.0c's do at least 3.3ghz with default vcore (when the cpu is not being limited by ram or mobo limitations)....I think on average many of the 3.0c's I have seen are getting in the 3.4-3.6ghz range with reasonable vcore...

May want to get some better memory and see if more can be had...
