Default finally o/ced more :)

well, im not sure what the problem was earlier... but i was finally able to o/c to 2.64ghz rather than just 2.4ghz, which i could do without overvolting at all.
i thought it was the motherboard... or the psu. replaced neither and i got it to o/c. i don't know what happened, but i think im going to replace the psu anyways.
yay 2.64ghz is a good o/c

So, does your processor perform like an FX-60 now?

Probably not since it lacks the extra 512 kb of L2 cache (not that that makes a big difference).

Nice OC. Nice processor. What volts are you running at?

Do you know what stepping that is?

actually i believe 40mhz is either as good as or better than the extra cache that the fx-60 features. if not, then its still a really good processor lol
its at 1.45V nice and cool
