@PCpwnz: 3.2ghz should be possible without increasing the Vcore, but you should check in Cpu-z how high your Vcore is, with the latest bios for my board the default is set to 1.425 instead of 1.325 which could cause some hot temperatures with a stock cooler...

I have seen 3.2 to 3.4 on stock volts, ~3.3 is common. Then i have seen on this club in the past few some high volts for mild OCs. But i think those are rare!
Drivers:
do you have dual core optimizer installed? I think the cpu drivers in XP are just mainly for the power saving functions. Look in the device manager, it probably already shows the 720 three times. Its a universal driver which will work with 3 or 4 cores. I have had some issues before from just dropping in a cpu upgrade in the past. Its kinda rare but you can have issues. Some recommended to reinstall the OS when you change dramatically on a Cpu upgrade. Once I had a core maxing out after an upgrade. One core would be totally at 100% with no apps showing cpu usage. Re starting would fix the issue, but only temporary, after a while it would start going sluggish and have a maxed out core with no load. After tracing it down i found there was a driver issue that was causing this anomaly. I had to reinstall every driver one at a time for XP on this system and it fixed the issue. I still got away with not doing the OS. It was just one of those rare crazy things that sometimes go nuts in computers that often caused one to reinstall the OS.

Got my X3 720 to 3.2GHz Prime95 blend stable (ran for 3 hours) on stock cooling. Changed multi to 16x, didn't touch anything else.

Screenie:

(it's a big screenshot because it also validates my RAM speed and my 4890 overclocks).


Validation (did I do it right? I haven't validated my clocks before)
http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=596521

*edit*
I don't know why voltage is blank in the validation link, but it's at stock, 1.312V. Stock cooler kept the thing under 53C after 3 hours of Prime 95 blend (3 instances) without even getting loud. Awesome!
