Hi,

Im thinking of overclocking my CPU but not sure how far I can push it. I have heard that you can run the 3800 at 2.4ghz without any problems. I am using the standard heatsink and standard fan that comes with the CPU. I checked my BIOS and it looks like the cpu is running at 1.3v. I was thinking of putting my CPU to 2.4ghz and also changing it to 1.4v. Will this work well or do I need to change something else?

Also my CPU runs very cool, at the moment even when playing games it doesnt get much over 40 degress. I have One intake fan and Two Exhaust Fans.

Thanks
