Would I be able to get 3.6GHz with stock volts?

3.6 with stock volts, not touching voltage settings, just increasing BCLK to 150 and setting multiplier to 24?

Would my temps rise a lot or would that be fine?

Thanks in advance to anyone who posts.
I think it has a stock voltage of around 1.2v

1.168V Stock (I will most likely bump up to 1.2 for 3.6)
Here are my stock temps on prime 95 load.

Don't leave your voltage on "auto" whatever you do.

But yes - in theory. Each chip is different, but my bloomfield did it.

Well as you can see those are my temps on 1.168v

Think I can do it?

Step it up in small steps - I'd advise against going straight for high clocks. Do a little at a time and you won't fry anything.

Seeing how the bloomfields have a max temp of 100C, you've got a lot of headroom. At 100% load 24/7 I barely hit 69C at 3.8. I think you can do it.

Although I could get 3.4 stable with 1.1v, rock-solid. 3 GHz at 1.168 seems a little high, but I could have just gotten a really good chip.

Edit: duh. number's fixed.

So just bump up the multiplier and BCLK until i get it stable at 3.6

Set all voltages manually to the defaults, set ram timings to default, turn of turbo mode, disable C1E, EIST, & SpeedStep.

Set multi to 23x and raise bclk 5 at a time & test til unstable.

You will find your max OC on stock v

I think you can do 3.6 on stock, but its going to be close. You may need a slight bump...

Thanks man I will try that.

Well, for me I began at 1.1v, and tried to see where the chip would stay stable within that range. I bumped bclk 2 MHz and stress-tested, and it performed wonderously up until 3.4. I think I hit 1.2v around 3.7ish GHz. Every time your system freezes/BSODs, figure out what caused it and change that setting.

Here's a guide that ought to help you out. It's for the early bloomfield architectures, but your chip is basically the same thing with a higher multiplier. In any case it will give you a feel for how overclocking works and what everything means.
