Had this CPU @ 3.2Ghz ever since it came out because it did not have a GPU so i did not bother but now i am trying to find its best overclock. So far i got 3.6Ghz 225*16 @ 1.425v. I dont know much about overclocking these CPUs but ever since i unlocked it i dont get temp reading.

wow lucky! you got the 4th core unlocked!

I say you can bump that thing to 1.43 and try 3.7 GHZ

for 3.8 bump it up to 1.46-1.47

Whats your NB frequency at? And DRAM voltages?

I can't get 3.6 stable on 1.425V with 3 cores, so yes, it's a good overclock.

I can get a 3.8 for 24/7, just not at 1.425V

Should i go for 3.8Ghz with 1.475v?
I will be running it with one 4870 1GB.

Why not? A Mega would handle a 720 easily.

Not a Mega but a XIGMATEK HDT-S1283 with a antec 3 speed fan.
