Opteron 146 overclocking

[pengwin]

Hi, i dont think i need to introduce my self but..eh screw it im lazy

anyways my bro has an opty 146 and he wants to OC.

Specs:
Abit AT8 RD480
2 x 1GB DDR500 OCZ gold (3-3-3-8 ) i think
X1900XT
SB Audigy 2 ZS
Zalman 7000-Cu LED
NZXT Lexa.
----All fan mounts loaded. Bottom fan vent, i zip tied the stock 70mm fan from the AMD cooler there since the 80 mm wouldnt fit. Also on top of that i put a 92mm fan after the HDD cage to boost air into the case. so the case has 3 x 120mm + 70mm(bottom hole) + 92mm + 80mm (blowhole).

used AS5. but i put too much so the temps are idling about 35*C, ill fix that today.

Most people are saying set the multiplier to 250 x 10 to give 2.5ghz which would be nice, what about the RAM?

im a beginner OC'er so any advice would be very very much appreciated.

Also no dumbasses telling me to put my voltage at 2.5 volts im smarter than that.

They're all different man. You just have to experiment with the chip and see what you can do through trial and error.
