Overclocking

[interman]

and im curious, did you change the voltage, if so, how high did you set it?

what the f**k does that help? its not like 34c is hot dude so heat is not his problem
crap tip

dude..dont make me slap you!
using prometeia mach 2 he would get his cpu to perhaps 3,7ghz.
heat isnt exactly the biggest problem when overclocking that cpu..

you want to clock it even further ?
either get water cooling or prometeia\vapochill.
you will only get "so" far using a fan. [/b][/quote]
dude read what he wrote. :bucky!:
he had instabilty problems and since his temp was 34c heat is not the cause of the problem so even if he lowers the temp to -30 the stapility problems will still be there, his problem is most likley due to what the other people have said.
so next time, read what the person wrote and try to understand it.

to the problem.
check the voltage that interman said. a too low voltage will cause stability problems when overclocking.
check voltages on everything, memory, cpu and even board voltage.

Do you really need to overclock?

Are you having problems running some of your Apps? as in,some games run to slow?
i wouldn't have thought so with a system spec like yours.

Experience tells me to overclock a system when your thinking of an upgrade,if it all goes horribly wrong then it doesn't really matter.

Anyway...Are you quoting your Internal Chassis temperature and not your CPU temperature,34c sounds about right for your chassis.I would have thought that the CPU temperature would have been a lot higher then 34c,especially since the fan is only running at 2000rpm

I've never been a fan(no Pun intended)of software programmes that tell you your CPU temperature,or the Bios.The old finger can tell you that,touch the heatsink fan,if it burns then it's running to hot :-) if it's warm then it's fine.

It's already been said in the forum,things like cheap memory,Motherboards,can caues all sorts of problems when overclocking and don't overlook your PSU.Power supply wattage needs are dependent on components in the system such as the processor, graphics card, number of drives, add-in devices such as PCI add-in cards and USB devices,make sure you have a PSU thats upto the job.

Well I have a gigabyte motherboard which comes with a overclockng program. i just change the clock speed, and yes 35 degrees is the cpu temp 25 is the case temp,
i think it may be the program im using (easy tune 4) does anyone know a program that doesnt use up all my cpu usage cos its a pain in the ass, it keeps restarting for some reason when i have that program and my ram is a kingston c.25 512mb stick

ok, i went into the setup and now my cpu is 3.4GHZ and its running at 37 degrees and i have had no problems, so i might push it to 4.0 does anyone know a fan adjustment utility so i can run my cpu fan from 2700 rpm to 6000rpm. thanks :thumbup:

HELLO since this thread is well and alive i will ask for help too =P
CPU: AMD 2400/266 ATHLON XP TBRED
Motherboard: ASUS A7V8X-X/LAN KT400
DDRAM 512MB PC-2700
ok so anyways at the beginning the machine would show that i was runing 1.4ghz but today i changed the External CPU frequency to 133/33 (default was 100/33) and now it says im running 2.0 ghz, so thats all good but i want to go farther and i need programm that tell me how hot my cpu gets, anyone know any programs for that? Also if you guys know a very good fan please post the name ! thank ya

Did you ever even bother changing the FSB, voltage or memory settings?

You should find a fan here to suit your needs http://www.overclockers.com/articles373/
