Suicide runs have booted windows in 3.2ghz

but ram had to be lowered alot and CPU-Z refused to open before crash wasn't a cooling prob though my loop is solid!!!

I'd love to boot into 3.2Ghz! But I have taken the Bus Speed to 349 and booted fully in to windows...then crash=(

I was able to hit a suicide run of 3.27GHz on my 165....but that was with Clockgen. It never crashed on me, but it failed Orthos. I booted at 3.1GHz through BIOS, 2x HT Link, 100Mhz divider, 1.65v.....and then just upped it from Clockgen from there. It was fun.

It's a shame - I love my 939 platform as well, I just wish the platform had a little longer lifespan. There are very few worthwhile upgrade options to my X2-4200 overclocked. I guess in a few years ill look for an Opteron cheap on Ebay.

I'll get myself a completely new system in a few months, but I'll still expect my current 939 system to perform tasks as a file/game server over the next few years.

Lol...man I've had my 939 rig for a year now. When I bought it I could've afforded a C2D with an 8800GTS 320MB. I heard what I bought was the best though, so that's what I went with. Granted it doesn't perform nearly as well as a C2D....this rig has yet to let me down. I personally will probably still run my rig for another year or two AT LEAST with just minor graphics upgrades when needed. I don't feel the need for DDR2 or a quad core processor right now. A 3.0Ghz dual core, 2GB of DDR, and a decent video card will last for at least another year for most people. Actually....I'm going to have a second 939 gaming rig running later today. I know they may not be the latest and greatest, but if its what you've got...you can always make the best of it.

And an Opteron 165/170 upgrade will not disappoint you (if your motherboard will overclock them well). I can back that one up!
