|  Athlon X2 5800+, How Far Can You Push It? Im not sure if anyone has it, but I havent found anybody overclocking it by doing a quick google search. I plan on buying one soon, paired with arctic cooling. I hope to atleast pull 3.2ghz out of it?? Does anyone know how far it can be pushed on air??

| Re: Athlon X2 5800+, How Far Can You Push It? I would get the new 5400+ Black Edition. Newegg.com - AMD Athlon 64 X2 5400+ Brisbane 2.8GHz 2 x 512KB L2 Cache Socket AM2 65W Dual-Core black edition Processor - Processors - Desktops The 5000+ Black Edition seem to hit ~3.2ghz so the 5400+ Black Edition should at least do that. |

| Re: Athlon X2 5800+, How Far Can You Push It? as long as you dont get burned like the folks that thought the 6400BE was gonna have an unlocked multi because of the black box.  im sure this one will be though, and it really should have little to no trouble doing 3.2
