    Hello all,

    Just thought I would tell you about my current overclock.

    E8500 with a Gigabyte GA-73PVM-S2 board Cooled with a Zalman Reserator 1 modified to fit my 775.

    3.80Ghz stable, doesn't seem to like going much further.


    Me and my mate clocked a 3.2 Ghz p4 chip to 3.7ghz stable :) on air cooling.

    :)

    Cap.

    Can't get the chip to 4.0ghz on this chipset and board by the looks of it, can't even get it to post 4.0ghz.
