Are all palominos suck in overclocking?

[demonized]

Do all palominos suck in overclocking? I have an athlon XP2000
The highiest overclock i was able to get was 1.81ghz. now i cant even get close to 1.75 for some reason.
with a 12x multiplier i cant get over 145, its very unstable.
with a 10x multiplier i cant get over 170, i get lockups, and alot of restarts.

guess you just got a bad chip, or not good enough cooling, palomino's are great overclockers. if you check out amdmb forums, people have their chips clocked really high.

Could be your motherboard, not many people have had great overclocks with that board, even though 170 sounds good to me :p Best place to go for this sort of question is ForumOC (http://www.forumoc.com)

the palamino xp1600+ is the best overclocking of the palaminos...i got mines to 2.1ghz watercooled, still locked
