Finally made it to 2.7ghz

That's on idle. I wish I could get temps like that loaded, but my loaded temps when gaming don't generally go over 38°C on the cpu, so it's not bad. I was just trying to see how low I could get. I imagine if I didn't have the OC going, the cpu might have gone a bit lower.

OC update...
I bumped it a little bit to 2.73ghz on the same 1.48 voltage, and still no problems. 8)

Great SuperPI :)

Personally I prefer the 16M test, 1M is too short. At least 4M ;)

I went ahead and bumped it up again from when I posted 2.73ghz. I'm at 2.76 now (RAM @197.2Mhz) and still no problems and still low temps too - up 1 or 2 degrees, but not bad for the 38% OC.

Tyreal, I understand totally what you're talking about when you said you like to keep your hardware...I never intended to be an all-the-time overclocker, but since I never even had the option in my other system, I'm just experimenting. I think I want to try for 2.8ghz, but I don't think I'll go much higher than that. If I did go higher, I'd want to just try for 3.0ghz, but I don't want to push my luck. I am on air cooling and I think that can only do so much.

What is the deal with the SuperPI contest? What's that about?

I didn't necessary aim it at you. It was just a general statement.

The SuperPi contest? Not much of a contest. Just see if we can one up each other with our superpi scores

I didn't think you did...I was just commenting on what you said. :)

I took the SuperPi test. I don't know what it means, but I'll post my results in the contest thread.

SuperPI mod is a program that calculates the value of Pi to a certain number of digits. For example, the 1M SuperPI competition tests how fast your CPU can calculate 1 million (I think that's how many) digits of Pi.
