well that is almost the max of that core
why would you need to go higher with that cpu ?? it have 4 cores and it works perfectly
any way get your self a water cooling and lower down a ddr speed to 800 then push
core to its max

i managed to get the core to 3.42. i would love to get water cooling but cant afford it at the moment cause ive already spent alot of money on my new system and need to save for a holiday. hopefully when i upgrade or at the end of the year i will get water cooling.

and what to you mean by:
"lower down a ddr speed to 800 then push core to its max"

If you want to have an higher overclock think to downrise your FSB ... in the options of the bios because with your overclocking it's really high 1.5 ghz if you downrise it(the fsb) you will able to get an lil more higher with the bus speed

Right, ''downclock you FSB''. That's rich. What's the point of overclocking your CPU core if you lose performance on the data transfer to your motherboard?

Oh yeah, and why do you want to spend so much money on some cooling, when you already have a kickass system at stock settings? You the kind of guy who believes that the gun in counter-strike will shoot better if you get a couple more FPS??

yeah listen to the extra good advice of IModAMD the tech who is overclocking is 6000+ but need a cooler for is n$hitia chipset. He just don't know what is are talking about... When you overclock you don't decrese the fsb.... I follow his advice one time with my p4 and my pc would not boot... I was obligated to unplug and restart. If someone broke his rig because of him JUST SEND IM THE BILL... (if you have a warranty don't send im the bill because he just don't have the cash at all)... And if you want to explode your super computer (IMODAMD) just do it alone and go cry to micro byte because your motherboard have turned red TO black....with your FAKE 1900gt supposed overclocked but you can't do a xt with a 1900gt.... WOW wath a tech
