This is very similar to a post I made yesterday, but today I have fresh info and need advice.
I want to see just how much performance I can get out of my AMD Athlon II X2 220 2.8GHz Dual-Core processor. My cooler is a CM Hyper TX3 and at 87% fan speed and the CPU OC'ed to 3.3GHz stress tests show a max of 43C. The next OC teir available to me is 3.5GHz, Should I go for it? At what point should I be worried temperature wise? is all this OCing to no avail, should I just stop at 3.3?
Also since my motherboard BIOS lets me mess with it, what is northbridge?
