So i just bought this AMD 4000+ San Diego Core proc, to extend the life of my 939 system that i built just before the PCI Express standard took over. I've got an MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum and DDR 500 to allow for a higher FSB overclock. I was able to get the CPU clocked to 2596 (11*236) on stock voltage without problems or excessive heat, and even loaded up Oblivion, Doom 3 etc without any problems. Seemed pretty stable, until I tried running a defrag on my Windows drive which is a SATA RAID 0 btw 2 Western digital 80 gb drives. So now i'm wondering if this is the CPU that's the problem or maybe the RAID is sensitive to overclocks. Or maybe defrag is the problem. I was wanting to get some input if anyone feels inclined.
I should note that the CPU cooler is a Thermaltake Polo 735, which performs pretty decently in the cooling department. And the CPU is the 90nm core, which runs at 1.35V.
