Check out my overclock!!!

Running at 42'C idle at the mo! Trying to cool it down

I see you increased the voltage, FSB, and multiplier. Most people settle on a nice 3.2 GHz overclock on average. 3.6 is really high and it's good to see it can go that much, but realistically for the long run, I wouldn't run it that high consistently unless if it's water cooled or a stronger aftermarket cooling device.

How the heck did you unlock the multiplier on your C2Q?

 

[Kage]

He didn't change the multiplier. Its at 9 anyway.
You can lower the multiplier, just not make it any higher.

Very nice clock

42 idle isn't bad for an overclock like that. At load, with that clock I get around 65 degrees C on the cores with a very high stress test, which I guess isn't that bad.

Well done

i really thing they should unlock those things, they would make so much more money, maybe lock lower models so people can OC them up so easily and they loose money.

 

[Kage]

Thats what they do do.

The Extreme models are unlocked, which cost triple or even quadrouple the money.

EDIT:

I still can't overclock my brothers Asus Striker Extreme. It may be the BIOS, but setting to manual overclock doesn't allow me to change the FSB. Only the Multiplier.
I don't want to resort to using the automatic Asus ones in the BIOS... they only offer 5%, 10% overclocks, etc.

Hes being a ******* though, as he hasn't thanked me yet for choosing parts, building it, setting it up. All I've heard from him has been moaning.
