My slight misadventure.
« on: June 26, 2008, 09:40:14 PM »
As many of you know I have been on this Over clocking trip. Well, last night I thought I had done myself in. I OC'd to 3.6 ghz and it seemed to run okay, just okay. So I thought I would test it with orthos and wham the thing spit out errors. I thought well, maybe I would adjust the fan. That was fatal. It dropped to zero and the machine shut down. It's a safety feature. I tried working on it a little bit this morning and no luck. Work was a slow slow day and everyone was just kicking back before busy next week. So I did some research on the net. I found to reset the Uguru bios you have to turn the machine off 3 times. However, you have to do it like this. Press start and hold it until it comes on and shuts down. All one move. I did that 3 times and it worked. It worked great. It reset my Cpu back to 3 ghz and I got an extra bonus. My fan had been running at 1360 rpms. I thought that was slow. Now it runs at 3260 rpms. Hmmm I thought. So I once again OC'd the chip to 3.45. Nary a problem uh so far. Anyway, I partially learned my lesson. I'm leaving it at the current clock speed.

Just thought I would tell my tale in case someone runs across the same issue.

It's just too darn tempting. But each time I screw up I lean something.  :rock Of course it's sometimes a very hard lesson.

I'm done with it. Had my little tryst. I am leaving it at 4.35 though. Oops I meant 3.45. I do have to update the bios though. It has some features for the 45nm technology. Other than that I am done. Trust me!
Appreciate all the warnings as well.

It is running great right now. I cannot complain at all.

When I had it at 3.6 I sure did. However, it rebooted 2x at that setting. I upped the vcore a bit and it seemed okay. But I got nervous and moved it back.

So yeah, I think so a little at 3.45. I know I don't want to go back to 3.0.
