Re: e6850 failure

only at stock CPU FSB settings, overclocking by even just 200mhz (OCing only the CPU not the ram, they can be done seperately) makes my computer freeze after only 10-20 min of orthos.

im just really frustrated having a legendary OC cpu that i cant even boost 200mhz with reasonable stability. Ive looked all over the net, i have never found anyone that didn get it to at least 3.6 yet i fail at 3.2.

Is it maybe because ive had it over a year? i didnt want to OC it when it was new, didnt want to risk any damage. but now that ill be building a new computer in a few months i thought i may as well squeeze every ounce of power out of it that i can.
