Hi, I was wondering if it is possible for me to overclock an Athlon II X4 2.6 GHz up to 3.2 GHz on stock cooling using a motherboard with the following chipset: 770/SB710. The motherboard model is Asus M4A77TD.
Thanks in advance. I am trying to decide on what to do with my first build and this seems like a good and fun idea
.
mishima, I have the same CPU as you do currently (if you meant to say 620) and with my ASUS M4A785TD-V EVO (785 chipset) I was able to get a 3.25GHz overclock with the following:
FSB: 250
CPU Voltage: 1.3v
NB Voltage: 1.25v (I think)
CPU Multiplier: 13x
RAM Timings: 9-9-9-24 (or 27 - can't remember, but it was at stock settings)
This was done with the stock heatsink; however, when I ran Prime95 temps went up to 63 degrees Celsius during an hour of doing that (61 degrees average), then I quit it because I'm not crazy about the idea of heating my room up while this test runs overnight lol.
Sorry that I didn't answer your question directly, but maybe it might help?
