I was able to overclock my opty to 2.3 without raising the voltage...then i raised the voltage to 1.40 and got it to 2.4 but now i am getting lower 3dmark06 CPU scores

before: @2.3 stock voltage score = 1724
after @ 2.4 1.4V score = 997


anyone know what could be going on ???

Need more info on the BIOS settings that you changed between the 2.3GHz and the 2.4GHz run. Posting your system's specs would also be appreciated.

There are so many factors at play that you can't realistically expect anyone to answer your questions when you neglect to provide relevant data...

Opty 165 2.4 @1.45V
DFI Lanparty UT nf4 ultra-D
Antec TRUEPOWERII TPII-550 550W
eVGA Geforce 7900GT 256MB
Lian Li PC-61

The momory divider was at 150 both times. I only changed the FSP and voltages.

I raised the voltage to 1.45V and it seems to be working fine now..
i got 1823 on the 3dMark06 test.

also, What are acceptable voltages for the opty 165?

Up to 1.5V on air, 1.65V with watercooling, pay attention to your CPU temp under sustained load, exceeding 65C is a Bad Thing.
