LipsOfVenom said:i had a socket 754 3000+ at 2.0 Ghz that i took up to 2.6 GHz with a stock cooler...but then i had to buy an aftermarket fan/heatsink since it wasn't stable. i think stable would be 2.3 or 2.4 GHz without changing voltages...i only used the overclocking program that the motherboard came with.
