Good overclock?

[S[H]ady]

I was just wandering if this is a good overclock by [H]ard standards.
I have a P4 2.4 "C" running at 3.18 right now.
specs are as follows.

p4 2.4c @3.18
Corsair TwinX PC4000Pro 1GB
Asus P4C800-E Deluxe
the fsb is set at 265 effectively 1060Mhz
etc.....

temps are 25 deg idle
up top 38 full load

I've run memtest86 for hours so its pretty rock solid.

Just wandering what people think about it.
is it good, average, less than average???

first time P4 o/cer so i don't know what to expect.

What kind of cooling are you using?

I too would like to know what cooling you are using....

my friends

P4 2.4 C @ 3.6 (FSB=300) @1.625 Vcore
Abit IC7 Max 3 Bios 13 MC64 mod
Thermalright SP94, Vantec Tornado, Vantec Nexus, Arctic Silver 5
Kingston HyperX PC3000 512x2 KHX3000K2/1G (2.8V/3:2/2.5-3-3-7/GAT=ANADD)
Corsair XMS Twin Pack 256x2 Low Latency (FSB 255/2.8V/5:4/2-3-2-6/GAT=AAADD)
Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 160gb SATA
Pioneer DVR-106
Antec True Blue 480
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro (working on the overclock), Vantec Iceberg pro, Vantec Spectrum
Southbridge active cooled
ClearPC case

also this is a good guide

its a thermalright slk800u with a generic led fan.

Your friends ram couldn't be funning 1:! than. its must be at 4:5

thats pretty damn awsome though

last i checked, memtest only stresses memory, your gonna need to use something else to stress your CPU to verify it is "rock solid" - you can either use something like sisoft sandra burn-in or prime95, or just do what you normally do and see if you get random crashes and such

run a DC project and P95 at the same time...leave them both going for as long as you can...

looks like a good OC, can u push it any higher?

I also ran 9 divx movies at the same time for the whole duration to test what it can do, and how hot it gets. Never had a problem.

I'm not able to get it any higher with 1:1 memory. i haven't tried 4:5 yet. also, i figure i need a fan on my chipset. right now its the stock passive cooling. I might be putting a fan on that.

you should have more headroom on that chip to go. do you know what SL code your 2.4 is? mine runs at 3.2 on stock cooling, gets a little warm but it is stable. im hoping for 3.5+ when i go to watercooling next month

im sure i do. i don't beleive that its the chip thats stopping me. i'm pretty sure that its the ram. its already o/ced from 250 to 265.
I don't think the ram is liking the higher fsb. it could be the chipset though. im really not to sure. im gonna try it at 5:4 tomorow to see what the chip can do.

wow, sucks for you P4 ppl, keep getting hung up with ram

*turns and tweaks multi on AMD chip*

thats not always true either. i have a 2500+ as well and im hung up on ram on that too. it depends what you've got for ram.

changing the multiplier is all well and good, but you see much higher gains from FSB overclocking...just my 2cents

well, duh, but what do you do when the mobo tops out, but the chip is still able to be pushed further? THEN you use the multis, and you'll get even more gain
