Well im sitting here right now trying to oc this opteron 175 (JH9-E6), and to my understanding, dual cores are more picky for overclocking then single cores.

Stats of this machine:
Opteron 175 (thermalright SI120)
DFI LP NF4 expert
2x1gb mushkin XP4000 (samsung UCCC)
EVGA 7900GT (529/855)
OCZ 520ADJ/SLI 520w psu

Right now im sitting here trying get this opteron to 2700mhz (2750mhz / 250 mem 1:1 is the target) I'm pushing 1.51v (according to bios) thru the proc and im just wondering how high can I go w/o physical problems It gets up to 38c with orthos running which is pretty low considerings my single core 146 gets higher, but then again there is much better cooling here. .

It just feels like I can push this system harder than I am, but whats safe?
 
Most people don't go much past 1.5v, but how long do you plan to keep your cpu anyway?
 
Well its not mine, but 6 months, prob longer. Whenever the core 2 quads drop in price and the next vid card cycle comes about. Its basically about getting the most out of the investment intill the next upgrade.

cpu in bios is about 1.51v, mem 2.69v (low?), chipset is bumped up to 1.6, LDT which im not sure I should touch was bumped up.

I just don't want to see this machine burn itself up next week, because it shouldn't.
