major issues with am2 opteron oc

[xizgone]

hmm i recently got the opeteron 1210... running on an abit an9 board... best i could get it only 230 fbs (2.07ghz) using 1.45v and 1.85v ram... ive got it to boot up running at 250 fbs(2.25ghz) .. but it crashes before i can start any bench mark test.. any one else out there ever bought a opteron 1xxx series.. or am i the only fool that paid too much for not enough oc power... while everyone else went conroe >.<

cooling wise i have the 9500 am2 edition

ok so it was my fault for not knowing how to oc am2 all soo well.. finally got it to run @ 2.8ghz.. but only got pic of it primed at 2.7ghz with 1.4v for 3 1/2 hours with sp2004... my ram was on ddr 533/667 wen ever i oced.. but yeah it was set on ddr 400.. it let me hit up to 312 fbs with 1.425v
