well you guys im gonna enter the world of overclocking once i get my new rig up and running.

i know if you overclock yer temps start to go up so im gonna maybe get a ARTIC COOLING FREEZER 64 SKT939...

amd 64bit 3.7san diego (2.2)
ASUS A8V Deluxe Socket 939
2x512 pc3200


was basicly wondering what tempreture is classed as stable idle and would my build allow me much ocing, maybe to 2.5-.2.6??

my pc i got now runs CPU-40 HDD-40 SYS-36
 
The AMD64 3500+ on the board here will reach 3.7ghz with a hot cpu despite a 92mm fan in the center of a large Zalman cooler seen at http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835118223

After running some 24 hours the idle temp is right about 35C. When OCed from the stock 2.2ghz to 2.3ghz the idle was then 40C. Note the max temp on Socket 939 and 940 model cpus is 65C. Just imagine the idle temp at 3.7ghz? Hot! Effective cooling is a mandate not a request or cpu cook! :eek: !!!
 
well im not wanting to over do overclocking my cpu i would just like to get a liitle more for my money!!

im just wondering if anyone out there has same processor and what is ther best clockspeed?

i dont want to pay money for water cooling as im not wanting to over do it...
 
well i googled and this is what i got------

"With the popular AMI BIOS which is packed full of features and overclocking tweaks there is something here for everybody. The BIOS overclocking gives overclocking by 3%, 5%, 7% or even 10% for those of you who want to increase the performance of your Asus A8V Deluxe motherboard without getting involved with overclocking various settings. We call this the lazy way."

i am no computer expert so i dont really know if this is any good????
 
Those are preset configurations for boosting things up a little. The Award bios on the A8N SLI model board also has that. 10% of 2.2ghz is roughly 220mhz there. You simply add the 220mhz to the 2.2ghz to see a rough but not exact figure of 2.42ghz. Those experienced with hardwares will mpst often use the manual method to tweak their board settings to higher results.

3.7GHz on air? hehe at what vCore? and on what mobo

For it's class, that mobo is one of the better ones but it's not going to let you OC very much. When I had my ADA3500DAA4 I got it 2.9GHz without too much stress.

There surprisingly wasn't any difference between the 3500+ venice core model here and the one you are running except for the model numbers and the name of the core on each. That was a fast lookover at newegg there. But does your board support it?

Ermm ... you've got a 3700+ running at 3.7Ghz but you dont know the difference between the 3500+ and the 3700+? :rolleyes: FYI, it the amount of L2

Ya, but you're not gonna have a world of increased performance without manually punching it up yourself
 
3.7GHz on air? Are you using BS5 thermal paste? I have it on good authority that that board doesn't agree with high clock generator values.
 
lol.... well i dont think i'll be lookin any where neer 3.7!!

i would be happy with 2.5 or 2.6, dont really wanna push it until it frys
 
That wasn't with that model cpu but the oc capabilty of that model board anyways. While some don't think any cpu can even reach that amount on the Asus A8N SLI model I often run even higher OCs reported on the "Asus P5WD2-E Premium MB (975X chipset) Intel Pentium D 955EE @ 5.04GHz (24/7) 1440MHz FSB (360x14) / 1.49Vcore, Max OC @ 5.4GHz"
