winchester 3500+ stock hs

[tterris]

question: if i want to put a serious overclock (2.6 ghz) on my cpu, will the stock hs that comes with the winchester 3500+ be sufficient, or should i opt for the oem version and purchase another one; and if so, what's a high quality one?

also, if a consumer plans to overclock and thus void the warranty, is there any reason he shouldn't save the money and buy oem?

I just got my 3200+ winchester into o/c mode today. Been able to get her at 2400mhz on stock cooling and voltage. Idle at 31*C. Haven't tried any higher yet becasue i had the relax my memory timmings to 2-3-4-8... i had 2-2-3-6 on my 2500+ at 2400mhz

You might beable to get that high on air, but I don't think you will with the stock HSF. I've hit 2.75 with my 3200 but I'm water cooled, at max OC 10x275 @ 1.75 volts I'm running a max load of 44c.

I have a 3200 winchester and i've just been bumping it up 100 mhz every week and so far i got it running at 2.4 and it idles at 36C and load is around 45 at stock voltage and stock HSF really not bad very happy with the chip so far next week will start pushing it and pushing it see what i can't top out at but 400 mhz so far at stock voltage isn't bad

On stock voltage isn't bad at all, my 754 3400+ only takes an extra 1 or 2MHz to the HTT before it dies...needs to run @ 1.55 to OC above the standard speeds.
