just been doing a little oc session and havent hit any walls yet, but ive been planning ahead since i know the nature of my hardware in general so ive upped the voltages and tweaked setting when i thought appropriate.

my hardware

DFI Lanparty JR P45-t2rs (matx board)

Intel Core2Duo E8500 (c0)

ATI Radeon 4890

Crucial Ballisitix 4gb pc2-6400

watercooling setup

Dangerden MC-TDX cpu block

EK nb block

EK vga supreme graphics card block

120mm BI stealth rad

240mm BI stealth rad

Laing DDC ultra w/ xspc top

all 3/8" tubing

ive reached approximately 4.6ghz so far, not even hit the max yet and running 510fsb.

havent done any proper stress testing just superpi, except for 4.5ghz which seemed very stable and ran a quick vantage bench which passed fine.

im guessing around 4.5 should be fully stable, dont care much for prime95 so wouldnt be looking to run that for days to deem it as stable, that bs to me. if it games fine and stays stable over night while left on thats stable to me.

chuffed that my matx dfi got over 500fsb. great little board.
 
Nice C0, most of those CPU's need (much) more voltage to run at 4.5GHz trough vantage.

What are your temps? I guess you can get that E8500 bench stable at 4.7-4.8GHz with some more voltage if it's not running to hot.

Bzw, I've already seen 600MHz on that board for 3D benchmarks and stock cooling, so there's probably some room left :)
 
Nice job, dude, got that bad boy humming! ;]

Just thought of something... would be nice if someone made an easy but effective way to setup each pc for a SuperPi run to see what scores we're really getting. I myself always ran SuperPi without any kind of 'tricks' to decrease the time. I saw that Frag had some things he would do to cut some time off. Also everyone will likely have all kinds of different programs, apps, whatnot that will keep the cpu from solely crunching the Pi. Anyone have any great ideas?
