Overclocking

With our overclocking attempts we are looking for the highest possible FSB. As a stabilitytest we use SuperPI 1.5 which has to run a 32M calculation. Therefore the results can be considered as stable. To cool the CPU we used a Zalman 9700.


We reached 540 MHz FSB stable with a multiplyer of 6 and a CPU VCore of 1.48 Volts.
