Athlon 64 X2 Overclocking?


Have any X2 owners here managed to get some decent OCs out of their processors?

I've managed to get 2.6Ghz stable from my 4200+ with the stock cooler and 1.4V. It's not stable any higher, unfortunately, and this board won't let the voltage go any higher.

I think it's pretty decent, though. Anyone got any tips to share?

my x2 4200+ does 2.6ghz stable but at higher voltage i need all most 1.5v. im pretty sure if i got a better motherboard it would do better.

I also have 2.5gHz at 1.35v, I am using exos watercooling. I wonder if that has anything to do with the stability at lower voltages...

That's a kinda broad question. You need to change HTT, LDT, multi, ram settings, etc. A good start is to read this guide.
