X2 4400+ Overclocking - Need some help

Actually, some of the CCBWE's overclock very well/high: link. Most of them (not the 0550 UPMW's) just require a considerable amount of voltage to do so. My 110 watt X2 4400 will do 2.6 Ghz, but requires alot of voltage to get there; it's stepping is CCBWE 0609 DPMW.

Hey guys. I have a S939 X2 Toledo JH-E6 that can overclock to 2.86 on value priced air (Arctic Cooler 64) I'm changing that soon...

Now, it's rock solid besides the point that it goes up right under 65c under full multithreading load... So my air should fix that, however Im risking it right now and use it in high stress applications fine.

My wall seems to be around 265 though, 267 is unstable, but better air may get me farther.

vcore is at 1.4 with the infamous ASUS droops inbetween. (A8R32-MVP Deluxe)

So, point in fact being, he's not alone in pushing a stock 4400+ on air, it just needs those volts.

(Oh... and my 3.3v rail is kinda at 4.0v according to Probe.... It suddenly happened one day, but my system stayed 100% stable after it happened at 2.86)

It really is hit or miss imo. My 4800 Toledo is hitting a wall at 1.5v and 2.67. Then again, my aftermarket cooler doesn't fit in my current case

My 3800X2 Toledo is at 2.6 @ default voltage. I'm currently using the 4 pipe Opteron cooler but an Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 is on it's way so 2.7 or above might happen. Very satisfied with my $80 chip.
