OCIA.net has posted an article on Overclocking the Socket 939 AMD Athlon 64.
As mentioned earlier, I set my timings to 2.5-3-3-8-1T. I also lowered the HT multiplier to 3x. At these settings, I was able to get a maximum stable overclock of 9 x 255 (1:1) = 2,295 MHz, or basically 2.3 GHz. I tried lowering the multiplier to 8 and even 7, and also lowering the RAM divisor but was unable to get better results than those obtained at 9 x 255. I also tried various voltage settings, backing down from max as I have read that it can help sometimes. But in my case, I had no luck. I also tried using MSI's Core Center to increase the CPU voltage over the BIOS maximum but found this program to be buggy and often times lock up the system completely. The system would boot up to 2.4 GHz but was unstable in Prime 95 and Super Pi.
