I believe the best choice would be 5000+ black edition? Review here

No thermal interface material will help you here.
Suggest you follow pws recommendation 1st to minimize unnecessary voltage use to achieve ur target speed.
Then only can settle temp prob.Always use 3rd party hsf when overclock.idle temp at around 58c will kill ur proc when it full load.
X2 temp change when full load is soo unbelieveable fast!!

why change chipset voltage? better stick to default~

56-60 is quite high for daily use~ better get new cooler or tell ur setting with some SS~

Even the best TIM that you use wont yield positive result with stock HSF. At most maybe only 1-3c difference. In your case, your temps arent looking too good, id advise you to lower your clockspeed/vcore to an optimal temp (max 65c on load). If you're idling on 56-58 thats not looking good, on load it might go all the way up to 70-80.

@tachlio
chipset voltage should be + 0.1v at least when overclocking your HTT to ensure stability. HT overclocking can improve overall system performance, in certain case (me), HT overclocking improves pretty much (1s SPI 1M) performance and it provides better stability @ 1400mhz on my 3.5Ghz overclock. Weird thing is, i can pass 5 hours orthos on 1400mhz(350X4) but when running 1050mhz(350x3), it failed the first 30minutes.

6400+ definitely a much much better choice...bcoz 5000+ is just another crappy Brisbane
you won't go to far with 5000+ , but it is a big yes if u use 6400+
Too bad 6400+ is too expensive , it is not competative at all in term of price performance ratio
in conclusion, F3 3800+ is the best

AoiNatsume,

I think it depend on mobo design and limitation with regards to increase voltage for chipset.
On my DFIi...im running 1700mhz HT link 24/7 with stock voltage.And the rig is stable in Orthos for many hour too.
But no doubt I did bump the voltage too,scared the stability issue.Mana tahu,it can stay put with stock volt.
This actually a surprise to me coz I had thought the max is 1250 only...

ya lor tak semestinya kena tambah.. anyway try to stay at the lowest voltage u can stay, in other word if u can stay at stock voltage, its already good..

anyway, if i buy the 6400+ will keep elok2 jer.. sayang gler nak OC..haha

@dblooi

how far ta690g (HT Link) can go with only 1.20v(stock voltage)
so far i got 1500mhz..
never try to push more..

u penah try??

He try until 2000MHz HT Link

-pWs-

after u get the 6400~~ might sell me ur F3??

haha, when i oc , vdimm and chipset voltage always add to max...
sorry , really dunno how far it can go with stock voltage

haha.. tak penah tgk pown.. aper lagi poison la dia.. besok ader la result tue..haha

waa , too expensive la.. i love my F3..hehe

owh see2.. next time wanna try la.. or maybe u can try first

aiyaaa...u guys move so fast eh.. i didnt on9 for a few days only nw u add anther 2 pges...
any dffrent ka tht black box proc?

this is my highest try on HTT & HT Link

411 HTT and 2055 HT link

http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=256766

haha.. good la bro,, tue pakai max voltage ker??

yeah , max voltage
oc with stock voltage is just like eat nasi lemak don't wan add sambah to me
no taste no taste

wut the peribahasa.. can join karam singh walia... haha.. wow, if u got the multiplier 10 .. 411 x 10... alredi total 4.1Ghz..
baru je ckp dah ada result.. me cant oc my rig.. miss my 'baby' edi .. at seremban..

4.1GHz......ish, use LN2 also dunno can make it or not

really impress with your mobo dblooi.
damn kaw!

my dfi only can achieved 370HTT and 1850mhz for HT link
no need cpu z laaa coz lower than taiko already...
