I have overclocked my AMD X2 3800+ to 2500mhz:


I was wondering if i have maxed out the CPU here, anything more on the HTT will cause a hard lockup, then i have to reboot. When the system powers up again it makes four beeps (i think two short two long) then next reboot it works O.K.

It is a very sudden crash, its stable on prime95 for hours at 2500, but i step up by 1 or 2mhz more on the HTT and it locks under load.

I drop the memory divider down so that im not overclocking RAM at all, i drop the hypertransport multiplier so that its always under 1000mhz.

So does anybody have any ideas if this is the limit, do i need more voltage to the core? Ive tried at 1.4volts but same story (mabie more needed), temperatures get to about 45C max under load, im using a Zalman 7700Cu.
 
id go up on the vcore your at like 1.3 something id go to 1.45 and see what your temps are, I have my opteron at 1.65 for max oc but 24/7 at 1.50

at 1.50 I get a 2.8ghz OC
at 1.65 i get 2.9 OC so you see that is my max OC or close to it... more vcore doesnt give much more mhz... bump the vcore up once and prime it and move on and see where you stop. just keep temps below 50'c loaded you should be fine short term, I dont like to go above 1.55v for 24/7 use
