| To be honest, the best thing to do would be to buy a new motherboard, and I'm not sure if your chip is S939 or AM2, but if its 939 expect about 2.7-2.8 if your lucky and if you are AM2 say about 2.9-3.0+ if you have a good board, cooler and ram!

| Software overclocking is seriously unstable and may not even work with your mobo, I suggest getting a new motherboard if you want to overclock
