Alright guys... I need some results!. I want to know what's the highest you guys have been able to get your 2500+ on air. Watercoolers are welcome to join in on the action aswell, but I will mostly be checking out the air coolers
. And this has to be a STABLE overclock... meaning, you were able to run 3dmark, prime95, SuperPI... etc
.
Highest air-cooled speed I was able to achieve was... 2.54GHz, at 2.1Vcore.
I couldnt get it any higher stably. I even tried a higher Vcore... but it didn't help much. I honestly really wasn't looking for max CPU overclock... what I really wanted was to get a NICE run of 3dmark with my 9700PRO. But in the end... I was able to get a max of like 18.9k. I was very pissed off. But then I realized (after trying ALL of the Cat series drivers) that I have winXP installed. But I was too lazy to Install 2k, lol.
