Planning on OC'ing the 3000+?
I had one and tried, didn't go as well as I'd hoped. Only had a bit of cash afterwords, so I got an OEM 2500+, and right now it's running at 3200+ speeds.
Nice though. :cool: |

The usual. Give the cpu, RAM and chipset a tad more voltage, and then start upping the FSB by 2, starting up, making sure things are working, and then restarting and upping the FSB again.
I got it up to 3200 speeds, but it was unstable, and burned out after a week or so. The 2500+ is notorious for being a very solid little chip, and overclocking like a champ. |

Lucky. Back when I did it it was 300. :whip:
If you do it, just be careful about it, and run a memory/cpu test every 25 FSB or so. I got overzealous at around 190 (380) and started upping it faster and faster and checking less and less.
But now that I think about it, I had the 3000+ 333FSB, so yours might be slightly different. |
