OC'ing an Athlon 650

[RAW]

I've been considering getting a GFD for my Athlon 650. Has anyone had any experience OC'ing the 650?

The 650, as you may know, was the highest speed that ran 1/2 core L2 cache. I know there are ways to change this but being able to maintain the 1/2 core speed would be a big plus IMO.

With good cooling, how fast can I get this thing running and expect it to run reliably?

Thx for any suggestions,
R. Wey

800mhz!! after that you'll need to set your cache to 1/3, which defeats the purpose, unless you can go 900-1000mhz. buy that is unlikely. i used to have a 550mhz with a 650 core. i was able to oc that to 800. anything above that was impossible.
what kind of chipset do you have anyways...what mobo?

If you can't beat 'em kill 'em
athlon "SLOTA" thunderbird 700@1050mhz

I guess one could set the cache to 2/5ths...which wouldn't be as bad as 1/3rd...but I see your point.

I have an Epox 7KXA motherboard running the via KX133 chipset.
