nathonix Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Picked this processor up for around $35~, and with a full copper ThermalTake Venus 7+ cooler, i acchieved a respectable 25% overclock from 2.0ghz to 2.5ghz (250mhz x 10) after dropping the ht bus to 3x, and the ram (cheap 1gb x 2) to 166mhz fsb. I could have probably pushed it a bit further, but temperature issues due to a small fan on the heatsink kept me from it. incidentally the motherboard i picked up to go with it (foxconn/winfast 6150bk8mc) works wonders with JaS 10.4.8, other than sound and network, making this build my first working hackintosh! just thought i'd share Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/84737-socket-939-athlon-x2-3600/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
apowerr Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Nice, I used a similiar method to overclock my AMD Athlon X2 4200+ in the past.
