AM2 3000+. Started Overclocking today.

and just for reference, CPU Temps are around 30* at idle

Since I have a single 1GB DIMM, shouldn't it be 1T on the RAM? I am going to mess around with the timings a bit today to see what I can get. Also, how do I measure my actual RAM speed? Right now CPUZ says 379Mhz.... Anyway, more searching I guess.

My only other question is, how much should I bump the volts to start with? This thing is only going to 36* under full load from prime95!! (My case has AWESOME flow!

RAM speed should be in BIOS, what motherboard do you have ?

EDIT: Whoops just saw sig, damn slow internet !

That ATi Xpress chipset is probably holding you back (presuming thats the same board im thinking of)

Think so? Its ATI Xpress 1150 or some crap like that.

Thats the MOBO

So close to 2.4Ghz, still under 40*C under full load! I can't up the voltage any on the CPU 1.450 is the max for my MOBO, but I honestly don't thinks that is where my issue is. I do, however think the MOBO is why I can't go any higher without crashing... my RAM voltage is locked at 1.8, not sure if that is hurting me or not. I have my divider set at 266mhz (533Mhz) which I have found is where I get my best overall overclock!

Either way, 2329.44Mhz is a pretty good ways from 1800Mhz, and my RAM is operating at CL4 333 (666Mhz, I know, its the devil), so I think its pretty good right now.

Hit a Prime95 Stable 2.5Ghz last night on the 3000+. Raised the volts to 1.456, and lowered the RAM Divider.

53*C is the temp at max load as reported by speedfan. Not to shappy I guess... at idle it is around 39*C... sits around 45* in most games until my gfx card starts raising the case temp (thing gets hot even at stock speeds)

RAM is roughly at an effective 600mhz with 3-3-3-9 timings. I am going to run 3dMark again today.... sure hope I can pull 7000!!!
