Hey guys need some help here.
Heres the situation. I have an AMD 3700+ Sandy and I cool it with an Arctic Freezer 64 Pro cpu cooler. I used to have a DFI Lan Party NF4 Ultra UT motherboard until an electrical serge said he didnt like my motherboard and blew it up. I had a project due for school the next week and since they will kick you out of college for missing that kind of stuff I had to run to comp USA and buy a new motherboard and I come to find out it cannot OC very well.
So my question is to you. What would be a recommendationf or overclocking and under $100 that could get to me 2.65ghz - 2.75ghz stable. My chip on my DFI was able to hit 2.8ghz stable i just didnt like running it that high because of heat so my proc should be fine. The rest of my system u can read in the sig.
I have looked a these 2.
