Their challenge is 3.6Ghz... Our challenge is 3Ghz..
Mine is without .. I run 2.1v can't over 960Mhz .. Maybe I got gem here.. The gem that cannot OC..
Just use to test whether my processor reached its limit or my mobo dun wan go over 290HTT..
Still no answer.. Suspect my mobo causing the problem..
1.4v shud be ok lar.. Don't be afraid.. Can auto shut down 1..
Temp better dun over 50c idle.. load 70c also can .. more than that i dunno ..
If you go google properly, there's some review where AMD can reach 4GHz with WC...
The only AMD barrier was 3GHz, once you thru that, I don't think you have any problem OC until 4GHz... Provided you don't burn your own proc lar

Correct me if I'm wrong.

As I read some reviews about 5000+ BE and 6400+ BE with almost the same performance and can be OC'ed to 4GHz with good WC.

i would say tri-core will do as long as they promise high clock overclokin. dun mind if it's one core less compared to quaddies, with that it means value for $$$ as well...
for daily usage & moderate gamin, tri-core should be more than enuf ledi.


Couldn't agree more. You can't even fully utilize 3GHz proc for normal daily usage and moderate gaming...
