i give my x2 6000+ and tiny bump to 3.2ghz once in a while...but most of the time I have it running at the stock 3.0ghz just cuz I dont want to risk anything with the stock fan...it does fine at stock speed anyways
Athlon X2 5200+ @ stock 2.7 GHz.
Got it up to 2.9 GHz and I noticed no tangible improvement, so I decided not to risk my mobo, power supply. I'm happy with it.
Q9550 4.13ghz, just long enough to make sure it booted and went through a few seconds of Prime95. Then the temps sky-rocketed so I went back to my stable at 3.91ghz xD.
