Successful Overclock Speed

So I finally got around to OCing my system to its capacity.
I now have it running at a stable 2.5Ghz
Not too shabby if I do say so myself.
Now I just need more and better Ram. I tell yah though, it sure makes Doom3 run purdy and smooth.

That's a pretty sweet overclock. You should submit it to the Overclockers database.

I might in a few months. Lets see how long it runs before screwing me over somehow
Its been running for days and averages at about 45-48 degrees Celcius and lower when idling.
Im not sure about when its under load. We are lacking internet so I cant download any programs to check

I would find out what it is under load. Anything above 55 degrees Celsius would get my knickers in a bunch.

My old Athlon would frequently run upwards of 60 Degrees under load and it never had any issues.
Although I would like to find out what kind of temps were looking at.

Personally I like to see them around the 30-35 degrees range

As a sad side note, the overclock works fine, but my cheap powersupply apparently couldnt handle the demands. It died on Friday night. I checked with a housemates PS though, all other components are still working perfectly.
Time to buy a decent Power Supply
*sigh*

Stock speed for an Athlon XP-M 2500+ I believe is 1.8GHZ
