Heya there guys,
I'm about to get a i7 860 only thought I would overclock my old AMD 64 3800+ just for some fun. However, trying it I got some pretty high temps on the cores just with a mild OC ~100 MHZ. Didn't adjust VCore just fiddled around a bit with the FSB speed. Also, over clocking the AMD is very different to Intel. I am not sure how HTT factors in with it all also... I understand the AMD run much cooler than a i7 for example, only am still surprised how little I could get out of it with the stock cooler.
