I have Atlon 64 (single core) 3000+ CPU. It's default clock speed was 1.8Ghz and I am running it @ 2.47GHz for more than a year on stock cooling and it rocks. :) In some tests, it scored better than Pentium D dual core proccy :)

hey.....

can 3000 + overclock to such an extent with stock cooling.....

at that settings how much is the temperature at 2.47Ghz....
i have 3000+ with ASUS A8NE mobo which is good for overclocking n stable too ...

is 2.47 Ghz possible...???

There are people who overclocked to 2.6GHz.

Mine is Gigabyte K8n51-gmf9, nvidia 6100 chipset based board.

Note sure how stable Asus A8N-E is but this board is rock solid. I play NFS carbon for hours and it doesn't crash at all.

temp never went above 55, thanks to the zebronics geforce2 cabinet and Cooler master thermal paste

Hi

I have been going through the following review here: *www.lostcircuits.com/cpu/low_e/14.shtml
It seemed quite detail in nature, and surprisingly it has placed AMD X2 3800+ as a better choice than C2D E6300 keeping in mind that the high price difference does not really gave an equivalent performance boost.

Any comment [based on logic than sentiment, prejudice, bias or dogma... I mean....].

Asus selling it's own mobo's is different from manufacturing boards for Intel.

It's all the spec's and features that matter

Huh ? How is it different ? Infact Intel Original Boards have very high build quality.Only -ve against them is lack of bling bling accesories and OC features,qualitywise they are excellent.
If you are not aware, have a look at Intel D979XBX2 aka Bad Axe2 and you will realise what i mean. ;)

i have overcloacked mine to around 230 x 9 = 2070 Mhz... thats at stock cooling... at this i have played FEAR for hours.... and temp never went accross 53*...
but i want to know whats the max to which i can reach with STOCK cooling... room is not Air conditioned (and i remain my cabinet open with a table fan faced towards it that helps in cooling)

checked some more options.

Try this:

AMD X2 4600+ along with ASUS M2NPV-VM. The mobo should cost you around 4k and proccy is somewhere near 7k

1) C2D E6320 with Intel 965 chipset mobo

2) AMD X2 4600+ with Asusu m2npv-vm

option 2 has better graphics power and option one has better cpu. Overall both are pretty much identical in terms of churning out frames in video encoding.

afaik, You can go upto 2.5GHz with stock cooling. BUt you have to bring down memory frequency, loosen memory timings to attain stability.

Hello ambandla

Thank you very much for your very helpful contribution. I have decided to go for C2D E6320 [as you earlier suggested] with DG965RYKT mobo fom Intel. As I foud out that C2D performs far better when it comes to multi tasking over X2, and as you correctly pointed out in one of your earlier posts, it will be better if I go C2D as AV work involves heavy multitasking and it is quite taxing for the CPU.

I hope you shall agree with my final view. :)

Regards
