How far can I OC a 3200+

Jayvon · 08-28-2006, 09:57 AM

Hey wassup everyone, I OC'ed my AMD 3200 to 220mhz last night and did a 9 hour toture test from Prime95. Through out the 9 hours there was no warning or errors.

So how far you think I can OC the 3200 too?

All processors are unique in there own way so you wont no until you try

There's no given frequency. You might get up to 3 GHz, or be stuck at 2.2Ghz. It's just trial and run.

As said...it's all about your configuration. Depending on your RAM and BIOS and many other factors you may be able to push it a lot further. It's also what you are comfortable with. I have my 3200+ Venice at 2500Mhz and don't really want to push it farther...although I'm sure I could...I figure I got 20% more performance out of it. Some people however have them at like 2.8. I would also recommend viewing the overclocking database at DFI Street. It proves helpful in seeing what others have done with their machines.

I am running my 3200 venice at 2.4 ghz. Thats a 400 mhz overclock and the difference in temperature settings is like a few degrees. I could probably go to 2.5 ghz with confidence. Just make sure you watch your temperatures when overclocking and you will be fine.

I was able to get my 3000 stable at almost 3GHz. Every chip is different.
