    well merc, you were right: i've got the bug. after thinking about it and reading stuff about overclocking, i decided to give it a go. my 2.2ghz 3700+ san diego is now running rock solid at 2.62ghz, 1.47v (with stock cooler and arctic silver compound). it stays under 50c even during extended periods of torture testing in Prime95. i had to drop the HTT to 3, and the fsb is now running at 857mhz. i also lost a few mhz on the ram, but tightened the timings. ram is running in d/c @ 374 mhz, 2.5-3-3-6 1T, 1.65v. i found out that my a8n-sli deluxe doesnt support the cpu/ram divider so i used ddr333 and the o/c got the mhz back up a bit. overall im very happy with it, especially considering im using fairly low voltages. maybe a new cpu cooler and a better case for xmas will let me really crank it :D

    That's great. I keep my Newcastle core at 2.4 all the time but only crank up the GPU's when I am gaming. The core on your CPU is a lot better overclocker than a 130nm Newcastle. Good luck!
