What does your 3.0C do? OC'd?

Now that the 3.0's have come down to a reasonable price I'm thinking about getting one to play with to shoot for 4Ghz.

That would be just about perfect for maxing my 3200 out at 5:4 ratio. (it only does like 215Mhz with tight timings = 267FSB)

I'm still mad at Ted for selling one (that did 4Ghz) on Ebay to someone that wasnt even going to overclock it!

So anyway back to point I was wondering how peope were doing with their 3.0C's with any cooling (but air cooled is what Im really interested in)

max clock(cpu/fsb), volts, cooling, mobo, ram, ratio
 
Well I got mine to
3.6@240/1.6v/Water/IC7-Max3/OCZ PC4000 Gold/1:1 Rock Solid

Will not do 250FSB no matter how much voltage I give it.

That 4ghz was on a vapo. 3.4-3.6 seem to be the norm for this processor.
 
3.6 w/ 3-4-4-8 Corsair pc3700 1 gig TWin-X
ATI 9800 pro
ABit ic7-g
46 deg C.
1.625 v

Vantec tornado 92mm/slk 900u

Ive booted at 3.7 but it wouldnt run windows, havent tried higher.
 
oh btw.. 1:1 ratio.

so ram is running at 480, which is 13 mhz oC.
 
If you want to go for 4 ghz, spend the extra $60 and get a 3.2 That would increase your chances of hitting the magical 4 ghz a little.
 
My 3.0 did 3.5 on a slk 900u with a 80mm vantec tornado
1.625v on abit is-7 with 5:4 ratio

It now does 4.0 on my homebrew phase change, same board, same ram, at 1.7v

It seems very temp sensative. It the temp goes above about 0c it becomes unstable at that speed.

Funny thing is that it's stable at around 268-270 FSB. It won't boot at 275. There's almost no leeway between prime stable and bootable.

Runs about -20 to -15 c at idle, around -5 to 0 c under load. I should probably tune the phase change to get it a little cooler, but I don't honestly think it'll make much difference.

At 4.0 Ghz at 1.7v you're talking around 160 watts, so have some good cooling. :D
