I've had this X2 3800+ for awhile and just decided to try for an OC. It seems stable with two instances of Prime95. I started pretty high shooting for 2.5Ghz. I currently have it running at:
4x HTT
166Mhz RAM divider (Corsair Value Ram at 208.3Mhz)
250 CPU clock w 10x multi
I haven't touched the voltages for anything, and CPU-Z reports core voltage at 1.296v - 1.312v
So, what should I try next? The last CPU I really successfully overclocked was my XP 2500+ to 3200+, which wasn't rocket science.
Thanks!
