X2 3800+ OC voltages

[Mucker]

The final landing spot for my x2 3800+ is 2500 MHz @ 1.45v on an Epox 9NPA+ Sli. Load temps on both cores do not exceed 50C with a TT Big Typhoon in 80F ambient. It was a bit better on my Ultra-D, but I need my Opty 146 @ 3 GHz to feed the x1900xt residing there. The 3800 @ 2.5 is very nice, the machine is very snappy, gaming is A-OK, especially multiplayer gamig using Skype and Dragon Naturally Speaking simultaneously...........

I just started overclocking this chip, I hit 2.2GHZ on stock cooling, stock volts so far, around 55C max temp, so I might try pushing it harder. How high should the MB be getting though?

John, keep us posted on how your OC pans out. I think we've got a lot of people in here scooping up the 3800 X2's that are looking to OC.

Yeah, I'm getting ready to buy the components for a overclocked 3800 rig as well. Planned build revolves around the 3800 and ASUS M2N32-Deluxe mobo, Zalman AM2 9500 hsf. Not sure on RAM yet. Looking at the Corsair 6400c modules. Not planning on a heavy OC. 2.4-2.6 would make me happy. Something to do till better Conroe/SLI mobos get here.
