1.8A->2.7 on P4B533-V - This mobo is awesome!

[Sharpio]

Finally got my machine built up this weekend. I've got to say that this motherboard is *so* overclocker friendly, the number of features, the way it handles failed clock attempts etc... everything about the board is great! Here's my current spec :

P4 1.6A @ 2700Mhz (1.6v, temp around 48c under load - a bit high?)
256Mb of unbranded PC2700 (default voltage, auto ratio (1.1 I think))
ASUS P4B533-V
Enermax 350w PSU
Thermaltake Volcano 7+ HS (had fun fitting that one!) + Artic Silver 3
Onboard sound + video (not bad performance in UT, Q3 will post figures if wanted)

I've yet to push the memory faster, will try that tonight. Then I'll push the CPU to 2.8Ghz (hopefully). I'll get Sandra today so I can check out the mem performance. This is my first serious attempt at overclocking and I'm chuffed with the results - gone easier than expected!

Cheers,
Sharpio

Your temps are fine. See if you can get your memory to run at the 4:5 ratio, even if you have to lower your clock speed a little.

Damn u!!! Nice overclock!

One thing - you say in the title you have a 1.8A -> 2.7 and in your post you say it's a 1.6A -> 2.7 ... which is it? 1.6A or 1.8A ?

Sorry, that was a typo. It's a 1.8A. Plus I've had Prime95 running for 2hrs at 2808Mhz now!
