I've done several decent ones in my time:

1st: AMD Opteron 165 from 1.8Ghz to 2.8Ghz using DFI Lanparty UT NF4 Ultra-D & 2GB OCZ Platinum DDR400 RAM

2nd: Current spec, E6600 from 2.4Ghz to 3.5Ghz. Specs in signature.

CPU-z, ignore the voltage in CPU-z, its wrong, look at the voltage at the top of the screen on ASUS PC Probe II.

Benchmarks for E6600:

SiSoftware Sandra Lite XI : 25525 in Arithmetic

Orthos stable for 5 hours+

1M SuperPi: 15 seconds

Well I know them Core 2s are all the rage in recent times, but I've got an overclocked Prescott running happily in my machine.

I pushed it as high as 121% (or 3.4ghz) but it wasn't precisely stable at that. Also I'm on air cooling and my paste is not so great.

So I run it at 3.2ghz, a modest 114.2% clock. I've got my RAM clocked just under typical DDR rates with a 1.6 multplier.

No fancy-shmancy screenshots to hand out. Oh well!

Core 2 Duo E6320 @ 3.01GHz (up from 1.86GHz). Temps: 40-44 degrees idle and 60 degrees load on both Tjunction and Tcase. Vcore: 1.44V.

Mobo: Gigabyte GA-P35-DS4. 430x7. Temps: 40-44 degrees idle, 50 degrees load.

RAM: 2x1gb GeIL Ultra PC2-6400 @ 430MHz, 4-4-4-12.

GC: 8800 GTS 640MB. 650MHz core (up from 500Mhz), 950Mhz memory (up from 800Mhz). Temps: 65 degrees idle, and I'm not sure about load temperature.

Stock cooling (yes, I will buy something better) and a lot of case fans.

Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 @ 3.36GHz (480*7, 1920MHz QDR) on Scythe Infinity+Resistor @ 900rpm (Asus P5K-Deluxe)

Idle 47, Load 58 (Noctua NF-S12-800 back, Noctua NF-S12-1200 ULNA @ 600rpm front) - Seasonic M12 in Thermaltake Aguila. 1.3750V, ~1.3V vdroop - Orthos stable.

Here's my current setup, this is with my 2GB OCZ Platinum RAM:

With my previous 1GB OCZ Performance RAM, I was able to OC the CPU to 2.7GHz Stable, of course with different mem clock, FSB, and HTT.

I can't get back to 2.7GHz with the 2GB kit, not sure why yet, don't have the time to attempt again

Unlike most people here with Core 2 Duo's, I'll be yet another outcast with an AMD :p

My AMD Opteron 165 (stock 1.8ghz) is currently running at 2.57ghz on stock 1.35v vcore with a Tuniq Tower 120.

I think the temps are good because compared to stock speed, the load temp increased by just 2 degrees celsius.

idle temp: 39C

load temp: 51C with two instances of Prime95 running for 2 hours.

I'll run a 24h test the next day I'm working and if it remains stable, I'll push it a bit more. There's no rush :cool:

Here are some more overclocks that I have tested stable for my system (All 8+ hours dual orthos stable):

Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 L638F615 on a Zalman CNPS9700LED @ 2300rpm

@ 3.0GHz (9 x 333 1.300V)

@ 3.2GHz (9 x 356 1.375V)

@ 3.3GHz (9 x 367 1.425V)

Asus P5N32-E SLI Plus Motherboard - Bios 0801

2 x 1GB Corsair XMS2 PC6400 TWIN2X2048-6400 @ 400MHz 4-4-4-12 2T 1.9V

PNY nVidia GeForce 8800GTS 320MB @ 675/1026 on stock cooling

New one :)

Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 L638F615 on a Zalman CNPS9700LED @ 2300rpm

@ 3.4GHz (8 x 425 1.4625V)

I just had to top the 3.36GHz that chconline got with only an E4300 and his beloved P5K Deluxe.
