    Default Athlon 64 X2 5200+ users....

    Just wanted to see how many others are using the 5200+? I have mine running in BIOHAZARD and was playing around with overclocking earlier using the foxcon software that came with the motherboard. With that utility I was able to hit 3.2ghz stable for 2 hours under load @ 33c. This seems to be a great little processor.

    I have mine at 3.2GHz @ 30c during gaming. When this chip is paired up with 2GB of 800MHz DDR2 Dual Channel RAM, it flies. Coupled up with a 570 nVidia chipset with two 8600GT's in SLI, its even better.

    What cooler are you using?
    Current Mod
    AMD Athlon X2 7750 Black Edition 2.7GHz (Overclock Not Tested)
    OCZ 2x2GB DDR2 800Mhz GOLD XTC Memory
    Samsung HD502HI 500GB Hard Drive SATAII - Green Drive
    Zotac 9800GT Synergy Edition 512MB DDR3
    Artic Power 500W PSU
    Gigabyte GA-M57 SLI-S4 Rev. 2.0

    Well I'm running the 5000, but until I replace my RAM I won't be overclocking.

    I have it on the stock cooler. BIOHAZARD is meant to be used as a file server in the next few months. I took the clock back down to 3ghz just to be on the safe side. I didn't want to invest in an aftermarket cooler because I will be building a gaming only rig in the very near future and will be water cooling it.
