replaced my 7750 and got another (mine wasnt oc'ing well and was running a few degrees hotter than most.) and so far im at
200 X 15.5 3100 mhz
45c load
33c idle
1.31v
still hot....

Malth

it's not stable at lower voltages

try to underclock your RAM and play around with your ACC. i can run that frequency at stock voltage, 1.275v. last night i got 3.336GhZ at 1.387v stable.

when you say stable what are you guys generally running?
because yesterday I got 3.2ghz stable and after 16 hours of Orthos it crashed, and last night I was able to get 3.3ghz @ 1.46v stable and at 8.5hrs Orthos it was fine, shortly after it crashed/rebooted.
Just curious would these be considered stable enough for most people?
and what could I do to prevent the crash when Im taking screen shots of the Oc'?
at this voltage im about ~53c load

You can't pause a crash to take a screen shot, but you can use monitoring software to log readings every couple of seconds. You may be maxing out your psu (as I am currently), your build overclocked will take most of what your psu has to offer.

Stable is a relative term.

To the hardcore, it may mean a minimum 24hour run on Prime95 or Orthos. However, you may never intend to leave your system running 24/7, so a shorter run may be fine for your needs.

For most, an overnight (10 hours) run of Prime95 or Orthos is a good indication of a stable overclock. Few people ever max out their computer all day long, so this meets most people's needs.

While attempting a max overclock, being able to boot into your OS and run SuperPI to at least 1 million digits shows you are on the right track towards stability, and some postings will call this stable.

Stable is relative to the poster and the situation.

I pm'd you to keep the thread less cluttered.
But yea I was just curious as to if it were to run for that long then freeze up should that be something I need to be worried about?
I really only bought it to overclock and play games with.

I would say it depends on what you're doing with your computer. The biggest stress to my PC is maybe playing games for 2-3 hours at a time max, so if I can stress my PC for a longer period of time than that without it crashing, then, for all intents and purposes, I would consider it stable.

My PC will never do anything for 24 hours, so making sure it can be at 100% for that long is a bit irrelevant for me.

im having some trouble with mine now. 3.214 stable but i cant get higher, just bluescreen with a voltage over 1.45 real wierd, got 3.31 briefly and a more promising 3.280 until it crashed on the last 3dmark test, im gona have to up the nv voltage arnt i

I'm having an unusual problem with my own system. I can get my system to run stable and pass orthos tests for hours upon hours.

I have it set so that the Multiplier is 17x and the FSB is 200MHz

The problem lies in that if I run a video game such as Fallout 3, it runs in a choppy manner. It's weird because at stock speed (2700MHz 13.5x200 1.38Vcore) fallout 3 functions extremely smoothly. Any suggestions?

I've tried taking the multiplier up by only a half 14x to boost it up to 2800MHz and fallout performs horribly like that aswell.
