Hi all, I know I have not posted in a while here, mainly due to being very busy. I just built a new computer with a A8N32-SLI motherboard, an AMD Opteron 180, with a BFG GeForce 8800GT, and a OCZ 620W PSU. I was wondering if there is a possibility of reaching a 3.0GHz overclock on an Opteron 180, which runs at 2.4 GHz stock. I have a watercooling system, which is quite good, it kept my old Pentium 4 3.4 GHz EE below 42 Celsius at load.
I have done some research on the internet, and came up with some interesting results, many of which I considered trying. I know that the multiplier is locked on the CPU to 12. If I up the FSB from 200 to 250, and bring the RAM down to 333mhz, then i can reach 3.0ghz, and exactly 400mhz on my ram, which it is rated to run at.
