Just built a system to upgrade my Nephew who has been using a old Skt754 AMD 3200 OCed to 2500Mhz, for about the last 3 years and here are the results:



Oldskool 3dmark01 65686 graphics card not OCed just the setting set to performance (couldnt be bothered downloading the much bigger newer versions)

It will do 4Ghz at default volts, the volts used in the screenshot are not needed tbh I just turned it up and left it there when going for 4.3Ghz,

The motherboard holds it back from going much over 2100 FSB, it idles in the low 30's and under load the highest seen so far is 51.

These Wolfdales OC'ed are dam fine chips!!!

Very nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  

What component combinations are you using in that system? Obviosuly a E8200 but what motherboard and ram does it use... i gotta build myself one of those.

XFX 780i mobo,  Kingston HyperX Ram (He will add a another 2 gig when he gets payed next month) and Thermaltake Big Typhoon for cooling.

Very nice indeed - good system hes got there
