2.25~2.3v
Btw going off topic la. Gonna go back home and overclock more. Seriously need a better cooler cause on my ridiculous cooler the temperature goes up to 60celcius on 1.425v. Thermaltake A2. Review unit..

Drats.. It was too dark for me to type a message.. *turns on the lights*


1) Basically it's best if you can find your max limit overclocking on the lowest voltage possible, eg, stock voltage. Well, none of us would mind bumping up the voltage providing it's within safe range and it could really contribute to some extra overclocking.

2) Right now.. You should know what you wanna overclock.. I was taught to overclock in a way that.. overclocks the proc and the ram invidually first only finding a sweet balance between both. Eg, I will find how high my processor can go, next I'll check on my rams, thirdly, I'll find the sweet balance which gives me the best results and stability without sacrificing much timing and clockspeed from both sides, especially when the DDR2 dividers are rather.. funny. And about increasing voltage when you wanna lower the timings on higher frequencies.. pretty much depends if your rams can take it actually. If it can, yes you can try to do that and see if it works.

3) Yes. Keep it under 1Ghz. Just keep the bloody HT Link at 3x since the very start of your overclock la. LOL.


Well, that's my overclocking method.. Others might very well have better or different opinions.

Keke.. if you set it to auto.. *shudders*
One of my friends done that actually, set to auto and overclock. His E4300 done 3Ghz on stock, ended up with ram of timings 5-6-6-x.. At 800mhz.. LOL!!! That's Intel though.

But I think jy14 meant the timings required to be loosen when increasing frequencies la, not in a term of 'automatically' *shrugs*



OT@pWs: Eh no time to test test today.. I am still in Ampunk.. When i go back to Semenyih I'll try it out la ya.

I have a feeling coolermaster mistook shit for thermalpaste.
Burning my x2 3600 brisby on my GeminII with two NMB fans pushing 108cfm at the moment.

Temperature less than 50celcius on load with 1.55v. That's the highest I would do for my dual core. It seems that I DO need high voltage for my 3600 to hit 3.1Ghz, however, that could be a motherboard issue as I noticed alot of DFi UltraII M2 users reached their limit here as well.

I'll be testing see if it can overclock on low voltage. Thanks for the heads up.

Tuniq Tower 120 perhaps? LOL!!
Yea, budget is an important factor. noise issues as well. GeminII with two of yuor own fans can get noisy, but they work dang well.

Tuniq and Noctua can be of good choices.
Both of them can be found on bulk sections of this forum.

Tuniq's price ranges from RM190~RM210, both with fans. just check it out.
Noctua's RM180 (no fan) and RM210 (with fan), not really a bad choice as well also.


Just choose choose around and read up some reviews la.

Mid-powered peltiers.. by that how many watts you meant? Peltier ain't something easy to play with actually, better do some reading before trying anything.
But hey.. challenges bring fun.
