I have never overclocked my computer but overclocking the graphics card is easier. I dont risk overclocking the computer its to much money to risk. But i take risks on the graphics card even though its pretty expensive but not as my as my Dell Dimension XPS.

Overclocking - So have you ever overcloked your comp

novaforme
Have you ever overclocked your computer? if so how far did you go and what type of cooling did you use?

Mah, but someone actually overclocked his PC to 6 Ghz, used some sort of chemical to cool it...... lol, it was so funny, but it worked!!

there was a company that would sell you a P4 that was clocked to 5. something Ghz, they used an air condition system that was built into the computer, crazy

I clocked my comp, but only by 20%.. from 2.0 to 2.6 GHz... and believe it or not, I use box cooler, that shipped with the original 2.0 cpu smile.gif Of course, the case stays open at all times, and two additional 80 mm fans are installed, one of them blowing on the heat sink, and one blowing under the hard drive... On 100% utilization, cpu temp doesn't go over 50 degrees Celsius...

As for eXtreme clocking... ir rulez! laugh.gif I enjoyed watching a movie where this guy, from Tom's Hardware Guide, clocked P4 to 5.2GHz, and cooled it with liquid nitrogen smile.gif and chipset was cooled with some sort of compressor... and the cpu temp was about -190 degrees Celsius laugh.gif

I just love this kind of things, i just wish I knew mora about hardware, so I could do some of that eXtreme stuff...

ok thats not bad for a box cooler, i got mine from 2.0 to 2.9 with a thermaltake volcano 7, what are you running AMD or Intel? and i saw that on tomshardware too that was crazy, that would be cool to do if i wasnt affraid of turning my hands into glass :-) do you keep yours clocked that high Galahad or just once?

I'm using overclocking ram, they come with little fans built on them so they stay cool.

I overclocked 700 Mhz to 800 Mhz with just 1 fan... The result, the motherboard was damaged! Can't read my two memory. And, when I open my pc, I hear a siren!

That's why I have learned my lesson! I will never ever ever overclock unless I have many coolers! laugh.gif

I actualy clocked the machine about 5 hours after I bought it laugh.gif and it's runing at that speed since... that's about... two years now...

And most current thing... my system is up for 540h 5m 50s laugh.gif and it's WinXP Pro SP1... and believe me... apache/mysql are constantly on-off, on-off... UnrealIRCd the same... playing NFSU2, and other games... SETI@Home always running...

I'm just trying to see how long the system will be stable laugh.gif

Oh, yes... I'm runing Intel Celeron

I was just wondering how exactly do you overclock your cpu i tried once on a old pc i think it was an amd i cut some pins physically and then set it into the motherboard turned it on and bam my pc blow up and there was fire and smoke and everything it recked everything and the only thing i could save was my ram the hardrive got burnt the video card melt and well the case was not a cas no more and the cpu was gone lmfao but beforew i try again i want to make sure how to do it so i don't reck my pc this time lol

I do a little, but I don't really need to overclock. My processor runs at 2.85 GHz. That isn't much of an increase from 2.8 GHz. It doesn't run any hotter. Sometimes, I will put it at 2.86 GHz, but I don't "try" to overclock.

My computer is fan cooled, not liquid cooled. My Intel would probably heat up too much if I tried to overclock. I would buy a new processor that was faster to get more speed, not overclock.

    Guide to overclocking, version 1 This guide was written for http://optamumpc.com , which is now

    hardware beyond factory specs. In doing this, nor I or your hardware manufacturers (AMD, Intel, Ati,
    Nvidia, and motherboard companies) take any responsibility for damage done. Overclocking past a
    certain point will void your warranty (except if you do it this other way for Nvidia cards, which I

    multiplier is fixed to 20 (it's a Celeron processor), and I raised my FSB from 100, to 130... I
    have two HDD's, and a combo optical drive... I have added a small fan on my GFX card, and added
    4 more fans inside a case, to cool the machine... Now, if I raise FSB speed to 135 or above, if some
    heavy CPU usage is required, my second HDD will shut down, and in most cases, eve....

    tehy're concerned , it isn't a bios option. but since it is, i would like to know whether or
