Post your AMD64 OC's:

well its pretty clear so far that the 3000+ 939 is a clear best deal for overclocking right now. unless you have to have a 10x multiplier.
 
I have an early 2004 CG Clawhammer 3400+ on a rev 1.1 KV8 Pro. I can get 230*10 out of it at 1.6 volts, but I have to lower memory timings to get there. I would rather have tight memory timings at 200 MHz (2-3-2-10) than loose at 230 MHz, especially since it's only 100 MHz more on the CPU at a higher voltage..

So my computer is running at stock 2.2 GHz with memory at 200 MHz and tighter timings.

Actually, this motherboard defaults to 204 MHz HTT, so my CPU is actually at 2244 MHz. :eek:

you'd get more performance out of the 100mhz than the tight memory timings...memory timings don't matter that much for performance.
 
I just finished setting up my new Athlon 64 3000+ (939 Winchester) @ 280x9, 2528Mhz 1.52v (1.50v in bios) runs prime95 for hours. My memory can do a max of 235 @ 2.7v so I use the DR333 divider for 230. Stock cooling, load temp is 54C, MB temp 34C.

I could run benchmarks at 290x9 (2.6Ghz), but was unstable in prime95, even ~1.6v.

I wanted to get a 3200+ for the 10x multi, but the price didn't fit into my budget. I am very pleased with my new cpu, I was expecting a minimum of 2.3Ghz and was very surprised to see a 40% overclock from 1.8Ghz with stock cooling and only 0.1v more.
 
I'm being very conservative with the mobo and am only using the 'AI' factory overclock @ +10% so HTT =4 @ 220MHz x 2 = 2.2GHz on the AMD 64 3000+. I didn't run any prime or memory test to confirm stability, but so far xp is running fine (knock on wood!)
