i suppose, 2.8Ghz you mean is 2800+. if that's so, look at my sig. i can reach 2.701Ghz, but it's unstable. btw what is your MoBo? What kind of cooling system do you have? what type of memory do you have? does your PSU provide enough power? overclocking is about the system you have, the courage you have to almost fry your system and your experience too. it's a learning process.
