Average AMD X2 4200 Air-cooled overclocking?

Wondering if mine seemed reasonable... I have the 2.2ghz 65watt version w/ AC 64 Pro and got it to 2.7ghz but it wasn't stable, dropped it to 2.6 and it's been good ever since (11x 242 or something) w/ voltages slightly raised...

Just wondering if everyone else is getting more/less...

you could check the OC database, but 2.6-2.7 seems to be pretty average on air. There are certainly people who get higher, but yrmv.

That's about right. I had my 89W Windsor X2 3800+ to 2.7GHz with the same cooler, 48C load completely stable. 2.8GHz on water is not completely stable (yet). The 65W Windsors don't clock all that much better than the 89W.

Brisbanes are a whole other story, 3.0GHz on air should be no problem.

sounds about right, i get rock stable 2.64 on my manchester (240x11 stock voltage), it'll boot at 2.8, but reboot, it will run at 2.72 but is unstable even at 1.4v

My temps at 2.64 is 28-30c idle and 42-44c load. Using a Gigabyte G-Power Lite HSF.

with my windsor, it was about 2.65ghz.

i guess that's pretty much the average, was hoping for more though!

I have the 65w X2 AM2 4200 with 800MHz DDR2

Max overclock I currently have is 2.8GHz (which means I can run my ram at 800MHz). This has been stable for 48h on stress test and has been running for 2 months now without problems.

I used to have a hard limit of about 2.6GHz but slowly wound the voltage up +0.1v over default and fitted a 9700 fan. I had to disable any form of auto timings in the BIOS (memory, pcie, HT etc all set to manual).

I run on an M2N32-SLi mobo.

Yeah I'm at 242x11 with my 939 as well, which seems to be the wall on my chip. Gave it more volts, tried pumping up the FSB/lowering the RAM speed, etc and it doesn't seem to like to go any further, can't boot into Windows. I'm pretty happy with this speed and temps (mid 30s - 40s when not under heavy load) though, currently running it on a Abit AV8 but I'm looking at an Asus a8n32-sli deluxe to move to pci-e without having to replace everything. Perhaps I can squeeze the chip a little more with the new board.
