I finally got around to the pile of intel parts that my dead Asrock board left behind, I got a Biostar G41-M7, and researched how far it could be oc'ed on stock. I found several posts on other threads pointing out 3.4 being the highest you could go on stock.
I took it to 3.4(297x11), and I am impressed at how my cpu cooler is holding it at 45-48C (under load). A few of my games still seem a little choppy/slow loading with the eye candy turned up, (RoR, Gmod,etc). I was thinking about jumping to 3.8. But how far should i adjust my voltages?
Specs:
Intel Core 2 Duo E7500 @ 3.4 (40C-48C)(1.200 Volts)
Biostar G41-M7
Kingston 2gb DDR2-667 @ 790Mhz
Sapphire Radeon HD-5770-XT
160Gb Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 Sata II
Windows Vista Buisness-64
