3.20 GHz At 1.400 V
In order to reach frequencies even higher than 3.10 GHz, we increased the core voltage to 1.400 volts in the BIOS. This enabled us to overclock the processor by another 100 MHz. Thus, our 5000+, with its default multiplier of 13x, was now running at 3.2 GHz on a 16x multiplier.
At this voltage, we were unable to go any higher than 3.20 GHz without sacrificing stability.

We selected a 16x multiplier and a core voltage of 1.400 V in the BIOS.

Prime95 completes its stability test at 3.20 GHz as well.
At 3.20 GHz, the system uses a memory divider of 8, resulting in a memory frequency of DDR2-800.
