amd64 3800+ on ga-k8nxp-sli

[efc]

When you start overclocking, you are usually able to obtain larger gains from a lower rated chip that the fasted in a series.

Hot Hardware were only able to raise the 3800+'s clock speed to 2.58GHz (158MHz, or a 6.5% increase).

Tell us how well you do?

well..i read the article and they said that they think the culprit behind the low clock was the mobo, and they also stated they had "early engineering samples". My outlook on OCing this processor is still good though. I've spoken to a few ppl that were able to get a stable 2.7Ghz on these things. Most tho ask why I would even try to OC a 3800+. Im a good example of "Tim Taylor" syndrome...THE MORE POWER THE BETTER. <GRUNTS>
