Well, i was planning to overclock my CPU but i dont know what voltage is suitable for the original AMD Heatsink. since i dont have enough budget to purchase a good cooler, what 's the maximum voltage that i can set to maintain the temperature with my current heatsink?

i'm using AMD Opteron 146 2.0Ghz and i've overclocked it with Overclock AI 30% to 2.6Ghz with default Voltage 1.44V
and i also wanted to overclock my memory. i'm currently using Corsair XMS PC3200 C2PT 512X2.

my board max voltage for processor is 1.450 and the max frequency is 400. i'm currently at 2.60. i've tried to set up to 300 but it crash. then i set to 290, the temp raised to 57.

is there any way that i can raised it to 300X10?

i agree.... but i think it's considered okay for socket 939. i'm planning to get a AMD Quad Core. if i'm not mistaken there's a AMD Phenom Quad Core in the market. i'm wordering how good would it be. could it beat Intel C2Q??
any idea on the latest news of AMD Phenom?

i've saw there's a AMD Opteron Quad Core in the AMD website. is it available in malaysia??? i think the Opteron Quad Core is better then the AMD Phenom Quad Core isn't it??

my mobo only can reach up to 1.450V. is it available 1.55?? do i need to update my bios for the 1.55V??

yeah.... i enable the over Vcore voltage but it still shows 1.45 in the bios but in the CPU-Z, it shows 1.55v. does the available Vcore voltage depends on the processor itself as well??

in my bios, the manual setting to overclock the processor have maximum of 400mhz and my multilpier is 10. so, i can tune it up to 4.0Ghz but how can i do that with the current Vcore voltage?? any idea? i tried 2.9Ghz but it restart when i logged in the desktop. the temperature is around 55 degree on 2.9Ghz. the max i can go with stable is 2.65Ghz only.

I'm running with 2.65Ghz daily now. the temp is around 45-55 degree. i seldom play games and normally not. is there possibly on harming my processor?? i'm very scare on damaging the processor... any advice?

here's my OC database from CPU-Z

i'm planning to get a low budget water cooling.

these is what i targetted:
ThermalTake:-
1. Aqua RX R2 UFO CPU Water Block CL-W0092
2. Aqua T.M.G 1 CL-W0072
3. Water Tank CL-W0009
4. P500 Pump CL-W0132
5. Water Tube Itube CL-W0055/9.5mm
6. Coolant 1000 CL-W0148

what do you guys think about it? is there anything cheaper and better then the item above??
my budget is around RM300-RM350. but i think those item cost me around RM400 above.

any recommendations?

well, it seem like i should drop by at Low Yat plaza to survey for a better WC system.

anyway, thanks for the advice sniper69

well, i think you've OC too far way. maybe it's over the voltage limit and the memory can't hold it.
