0310 I've had it for awhile just never got around to overclocking it until now. I'm using a SLK-900 as a cooler. Yea I did all the benchmarks after I had run Prime 95 for 12 hours.
I know next to nothing about overclocking so I'm going to ask a few basic questoins.
1) Theres no real problem overclocking with the default heatsink and fan is there?
2) If I were to increase the volatage what the highest I should go while being safe?
3) Whats a good benchmark to test if your system is stable with the overclocked settings?
The heatsink is there to disipate heat so if your cpu stays at a reasonable temperature its ok. In general, if you plan on overclocking for the longterm an after-market heatsink is best.
MY personal opinon is only 0.2V over default. The higher over default hte greater chance the cpu will die earlier.

1.7V is nice for 2.4GHz. When My 1800+ was with Alpha 8045 it needed 1.75V to run 2.4GHz, but now only 1.7V for watercooling. A few degree DOES make difference.
Hands down that is a sweet chip!!! You got about a 1ghz oc on and amd chip and that means something....I think you could go to 1.8v and get that last 70mhz....
Good luck..how much did you pay for the 1700+ and when???
