Title: overclocking for ah2
Post by: ergRTC on June 07, 2004, 04:33:32 PM

heheheheheheheeh


Anyway,

Anybody good at overclocking?  Aware of any big pitfalls?  

I just pushed my p4 2.8/533 to a 3.27/617 (stable)  Holding steady at 60.9 C

Is it going to blow up?


getting my computer ready for patch 39


Oh yeah, is there anything I can do to my g3 ti420?

I would say more cooling.

I don't think 60C would be healthy long term.

Intel says 75C max, I am running at 63C according to the board sensor (chip), and 60.9 according to my case (I dont believe it though), and 34 degrees C for internal case temp (board and case says the same).

Do you really think 63 is going to damage it?  It normally runs around 55 or so.

More cooling is safer (best upgrade to be sure) but if you are with specs for temp you should be ok.

My only question would be WHY are you overclocking it?

I'm running my old P3 1gig and getting FRs from 35-60.

That is something I have not figured out yet.  It was satisfying to see it click over the 3 gig barrier, and I have taken a couple hours off of each seti packet.

Technically all heat is bad, cooler is always better.  That is to say there is no hard and fast line dividing what is "safe"" and what is not.  Only overclock if you think you have to, as it will shorten cpu life to some unknown extent (you only will know when it starts malfunctioning)

whats the point of such a fast (err average) CPU, when you have a below the bottom GFX card? not to sound harsh....

its like how Dell ships 3400s with Gf2MX's and calls them performance pcs........ :lol
