i am thinkin of over clockin my proceser i have a pentuim 4 2.8ghz i want to clock it up to at least 2.9 or 3.0 ghz i no about the heat problem with it but i will put another fan in can sum1 telll me how to do it only post if ur goin to help dont spam it
i am not tryin to flame but dude i am puttin a quesetion in the computer section about my computer and my question for it. go get ur post count from some other thread.
well i would not recomen over clocking a pentium... but if u want to u must go to u bios setting and somewhere in there u set the overclocking speed if u want overclocking to really help go and get a watercooling system and overclock by a larg amount
thanks ludjer and i might do that getttin awater coolin system and otaku u didnt help at all please read over ur post befor pressin enter cause i already ne how to get in the bios just not how tro over clock
Alright here... Inside el BIOS __ 1. Frequency\Voltage -> 2. Put the voltage of the CPU to max (1.55v for me) 3. Raise 280Ghz (something alone those lines) 10 Ghz. 4. See if XP/2000/ME/OSX/98SE/95/3.1 boots 5a. If it does, restart, raise it another 10 Ghz thru BIOS 5b. If not... restart manually and lower it down 5 Ghz thru BIOS 6. Repear #3-5a/b You have OCed your CPU. Now on to the video card...
if you have a northwood core, don't go to 1.7 volts unless because of NDS[Northwood Death Syndrome], if you have aprescot core then watch your temps closely. contrary to what ludjer said, some P4s can be OC-ed well and anything not netburst based(P1, PII, PIII, PM and celerons based on them) overclock well. What doesn't OC well would be the Prescott core P4s which have serious thermal issues, though Noorthwood isn't so bad, again, keep the volts down to avoid NDS.
ok thanks and i have this everest ---- so i can check the temps and i have a big ass fan in front to cool it i got it from bout 100f to bout 82f but i havent even oced it yet so i might have to revert it back
Also when you first start off drop you ram speed down to 100mhz and find the highest point of your cpu by upping your fsb. Then drop everything back to stock, then drop he cpu multi down to 6 and up your fsb to find your max ram oc.
