I recently got a freebie AMD 3400+ @ 2.4Ghz. The heatsink that came with it is massive. I don't know the Zalman model number, but it feels like it weighs more then the entire case I'm putting it in; huuuge fan.
The motherboard (which model I don't remember off-hand since I'm at work) is definitely made for OC'ing. Given the fact I can lock the AGP bus @ 67 and the memory I'm using is not your 'budget ram', what's a realistic overclock I can attain?
I have an aluminum case with great airflow. A 180mm fan directly over the CPU on the side door and the top, front, and rear fans are 120mm.
I've overclocked P4's before and my video cards obviously, however this is my first AMD chip and I'm uncertain as to what I can milk out of it, what settings to use, and what temps I should avoid.
I'll be happy with 2.6Ghz, but hoping 2.7 or 2.8Ghz and stable is achievable with this chip and decent (non-stock) cooling.
Any comments or thoughts would be welcomed.
Thanks in advance.
