So I have an AMD 3200+ Venice core, which is supposedly a very good overclocker. I've been reading about people on the net getting up to 2.8ghz easily, yet I can't make it past 2.5 ghz with 1.5 vcore...
I'm new to overclocking, and I've done all the digging on the net, with memory timings, cpu multiplier, htt. But I can't seem to figure out why it needs so many more volts to go further, because to be even remotely stable at 2.6, i have to raise the vcore to 1.6v
What gives? I don't think that big of a jump is needed to get 100 mhz higher. going from stock to 2.4ghz only needs me to raise the vcore by .05v
