Hello.

I had a amd x2 3800+ that was clocked to 2.5GHZ , because it couldnt go higher , not even with alot of voltage.

I did sell it and i bought me amd opteron 165 0550UPMW and it wont reach more then 2.5-2.6 stable , i was hopin for at least 2.7 , doesnt matter how much voltage i use.

Then , i was usin my friends amd 3700+ and he had it clocked to 3.0 stable with

1.525vcore (he was usin asus a8n-deluxe,tagan 580w) , i couldnt reach 2.6 stable no matter what voltage ,so i was thinkin that it could be my mobo or PSU?

Maybe theres something wrong with em. :S i dunno :sad:

too many variables here....what ram was he using?

if all components are the same...then u can compare apples to apples

sounds like we are trying to compare apples to oranges

 

were comparing apples to apples..

:rolleyes: ram , cpu and gfx on his board and his psu.

btw , im usin antec smartpower 2.0 450W.

450 can and will limit ur overclock since u got the 7800GT in there. u need more juice.

 

but 3.0 stable on Asus A8N? lol i need a screenie to proof that. a screenie of 6hours of prime, thats all. lmao.

 

 

Maybe the voltage its giving me is too unstable or too low?

I think i saw someone posting OCCT screen with some voltage statistics?
