If you have a motherboard that supports overclocking

I am just looking for a 25% overclock to 2.4ghz or so....I also don't want to bump up voltage.

thanks

your probably not going to get even 10% without playing with voltage. also im not very familiar with those AMDs but i think 25% is no easy task

actually if you look around here youll see the 3600 averaging 2.8 and some getting to 3.
they seem to be great ocing chips www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1151252&highlight=3600,check out eclipses 65 nm database

yes, 25% without a voltage increase on the lowest end chip of its series, like the 3000+ was for venice or the 3800+ was for Manchester/Toledo/Windsor, should be no biggy, 25% is only like 450mhz more, which is really a low overclock with stock volts. you should be able to get it no issues.

hell, i can do a 25% oc with a 2.6ghz chip on stock voltage
