My First C2D Overclock

I've had my current rig for about 3 weeks now and I told myself I was just going to run it at stock speeds seeing as its performance easily met my needs, but anyway I couldn't help myself.

Thats where I've stopped myself currently I didn't wanna push it too far temp/voltage wise. Vdrop is pretty noticeable, but stability wise so far so good been stress testing all morning. The memory is currently running at 5-5-5-18, couldn't get it to run at any lower timings stable at 950Mhz.

I could probably go a bit further but I'm not sure with my current temps

wow nice OC, 3800! i can get about 3300 out of my e4300 core2duo.

i bet your fps in 3d increased 10 fold from your last system
haha

Yeah but it makes me sad looking at my old system sitting in the corner, the watercooled monster that it is.

Caboose, quick question ? what are you using for your CPU cooler?

Zalman CNPS9500, temps seem high for the voltage but those are the core temps in the picture not the "cpu temp"

Well it passed Orthos for 24 hours at 3.8, just wondering if people still consider this to be stable or if there's some other torture test out there. I suppose the ultimate test will be if it ever crashes or acts up on me.

Orthos will stress it more than normal use. I'd consider that stable. Good job!

Terrific results, I think, and those temps at load are very good as well.
