I have a 720 BE x4...i only got to 3.399GHz. But, I didn't OC the video or memory, and only took my CPU volts to like 1.4125.

I need to go back and read all 492 pages and learn from you guys

Willhemmens

Yeah, exactly this. Even if you bought a megahalem, i dout you would see much more than 4'c off your temps. WC'ing is different though, you can build some beastly loops but dont expect to take 10'c off.

Yeah, the max safe voltage that still leaves you under warranty is 1.55v. I have mine at 1.5v (droops to 1.488) and absolutely love that I got this great of an OC for the board that I have.

Your warranty goes at 1.425v, according to AMD anyway.

Yeah, 3.72 is awesome. I am kinda in the same boat. 720 is on a Biostar board, which aren't bad but aren't the best either...ya know?

About to build a 550BE rig tho. Hoping I can take it to at least 3.5GHz on 4 unlocked cores. I dished out $170 for the MSI GD70 mobo. Hope it works to all the claims.

But yeah, my lil 720 x4 hums along at 3.399 (can i just call it 3.4? lol) and never has a glitch on 1.4125V. I might go up to 1.4875 and see what I can get out of it. maybe 3.5?

Oh yeah. The best thing to help my system temps..was the new AC system I had put in the house.

I really look forward to doing reading at home...when I'm not building a shed, fixing my Mom's PC (6 hour round trip drive), or working on my chatroom I own/run.

Thanks again.

Do it! . You have a better chipset than I do, so it should be possible. I'm gonna shoot for 240x16 tonight. Not sure how stable that would be, but it doesn't hurt to try .

Well which Biostar board do you have? I've heard good things about the AM2+/AM3 Bio's. I had a 939 Biostar board. That was before they were really anybody lol. It ran like a champ and really took some nasty voltage when I needed it .

I don't have gmail . Sorry :/.

And whoa at the voltage. My temps are good enough though that I can safely keep it at this voltage. I'm also forgetting that it was my x4 that had a max. of 1.55v. Haha good catch.

The one I got with the 720BE was this:
BIOSTAR TFORCE TA790GX 128M AM3/AM2+/AM2 AMD 790GX HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail

The board I had before was an ASRock. It had all sort of stuttering issues. The Biostar works like a champ. But, it's not like a ASUS Crosshair III would be with all the bells and whistles.

I've used a LOT of Biostar over the years. I used to use ECS too back in the day with 200 and 266 chips. But, I have heard a lot of nasty stories how their boards have gone to pot.

My other fairly new rig has the ASUS M2N32-SLi Deluxe Wireless edition mobo. I shelled out $200 for that when it first came out.

I'm such a geek

Oh you should be set then. You've got a nice SB750 on it. You should be able to pull off a good 3.7 or 3.8 on it. I'm working on saving up for a Gigabyte MA790FXT-UD5P or a MSI 790FX-GD70. Don't know if I'm sure I want to upgrade my mobo really. I could just get a better video card and call it a day haha.
