I was wondering if anyone has OC the 6000+, and if they did what motherboard and how much did you get out of it. The cpu I just bought has F3 stepping.

I was wondering that too! I ordered mine Saturday...I can't wait. I can imagine it will be a great overclocker, but since it was so pricey in the past I don't think anyone has had time to overclock it cuz noone really has it yet. The price drop occurred the 9th and that was just a week ago.

Give it time and I have a feeling we'll see some awesome OC'ing...or atleast, I hope.:D
 
Yep, testing now. I've been able to get 3.55 at 1.5v but it doesn't seem to be stable in all tests. I'm going for 3.25 at 1.47v. I have the Ultra-120 Extreme and it cools really well. In fact, before trying any overclocking, it never broke 100F.

I'm running Futuremark basic and it's hanging after the first test. I think it's software though and not hardware stability. Have to do more testing, but I think 3.25 is possible.

AMD AM2 6000+
Gigabyte GA-M59SLI-S5
OCZ PC2-8500
Corsair 520HX
Evga Superclocked 8800GTS 320MB
Lian Li PC-7B Plus II

And, for the record, this is my first overclocking adventure. So, I don't know a lot, but I do know that you have to keep the blue smoke in the components. If you release the blue smoke, stuff just doesn't work as well as it used to.
