imo if you want to overclock your amd dual core, you might want to grab the black edition.. none of my reg. x64, or x2's dont have really any headroom for oc'ing (black edition = unlocked) compared to intels c2d, plus my 6000+ with stock voltages got really hot really quick..

And another problem i have is that i am having problems trying to OC my GVA...

 

Im trying to OC the GC with ATI Tools but every time i click on one of the options, the system just hangs...

Anyone out there with this problem have any suggestions?

 

Thanks

kingdingaling. easily overclockable but it wont go over 3.4 with stock and i bet that wont be 100% stable without a premium heatsink

and even then i bet his temps would be 70's for that chip . i love the chip at near stock speeds

 

plythus what kind of cooling are you using..

 

put the HT above 250mhz and hit a wall of problems
