Hey guys.
I am desperately trying to get my Opteron stable at 3 GHz, but it never wants to. I'm not concerned about temperatures but I cannot get it stable! And, I've read a lot about overclocking, so I have a pretty good idea of what I'm doing.
My question is: are there physical blocks to the processor's maximum overclockability? Where it is the reason why it cannot overclock? Or is it not the limitation, but the motherboard, RAM, etcetera is?
Also, another question. Is there any way possible that I can get a Dell motherboard and CPU to overclock? Is there another BIOS available with the options unlocked? Or will I have to buy a new motherboard to get these options...
Thanks!
