What do you guys think of this overclock?
3800X2@2400 V.core 1.296 Htt1200 skt939 90nm Manchester core
With the stock cooler idle is 33c, when fully loaded it gets no hotter than 48c 8)

Ambient air temp is about 70f

thats better than mine, i can say that... i have my s939 X2 3800 @ 2.4GHz, stable at 1.35v from default 1.4v (at 1.325v my system isnt completely stable)... but, with a blue orb II hs+f, my temperatures idle around 40c, sometimes less (depending on room temperature)... and full load is around 48C also

at stock 2.0GHz the voltage runs stable at 1.1v (CnQ voltage levels at stock speed, temperature barely raises at all under full load, maybe 5C higher or so)
2.2GHz @ 1.125v
2.3GHz @ 1.2v

so undervolting is definetly a good way to maintain good temperatures, and keep noise levels down without spending much money, if any, and still be able to overclock some

edit: decided instead to run at 2.3GHz 1.2v, 2.4GHz needs too much of in increase to stay stable

What kind of motherboard do you have? I think i can hit 2.6 with that voltage, but i just dont like usein the divider.

Ill try undervolting @ 2.0 and 2.6, ill let u know what i find
