AMS X2 4400

[Lude2Envy]

I did some searching on the net but can't find anything about overclocking the 4400 with a stock heatsink and fan. I know its not going to be by much but I was wondering what is the most that can be pulled out of this chip. Also if anyone has the bios settings for doing so I'd appreciate it. My specs are:

Asus A8N-SLI
AMD X2 4400
4GB OCZ PC3200
EVGA 9800GX2
Sound Blaster X-Fi
Dual WD Raptor 150s in Raid 0

why are you running a stock heatsink in that rig? Its pretty beastly minus the cpu. Anyway, 2.7 Ghz seems reasonable. Im sure you can go farther if you get a better heatsink.

I had a thermalright but it was just huge....had a 120mm fan too. Just overkill so I sold it and put the stock one back in. I don't know what voltage to use or what other bios settings i should change so safely overclock it.

don't go past 1.45~1.5 volts. then put hte multiplier at 11 and keep raising the bus speed by 10-20 mhz. Run Prime 95 for an hour or so until its unstable. Then lower by a few mhz until its 24hrs stable in prime 95.

Thankz for the voltage advice. And Lude, Check my post. Im OCing a 4800+ Testing prime atm at 1.345v and stable at 3Ghz.
