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 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. Nice OC job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
