A64 3800+ Oc's

[piako]

Has anyone gotten past 2.7 GHz on their AM2 A64 3800 (stock 2.40)? A lot of people seem to be stuck at 225x12.

Got it to 2.75 so now 350 over stock. Had to reduce the base clock multiplier to 11 and then ran the base clock at 250. So, 250x11=2750. This also worked well with the HT@4x breaking even at 1000 MHz. Ram running at almost 500 MHz, g.skill rulz.

Ok, so I'll be needing to get a aftermarket AM2 cooler. Any ideas which one is best for price/performance. I've seen the Zalman 9500 but I think, meh. Be nice to find something in the $25 range.

those are pretty insane temps if you're using stock cooling :0

get a tuniq for that thing, it looks like a beast.

The Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro is a good HSF in that range. Have to find it on sale though.
