Why do you need to overclock that anyway. It's a powerful PC as it is.
Will that computer be used for some special purpose that will even let you notice the speed difference?
Is it worth risking your nice new equipment?

Personally, I think the risk of fatal hardware damage is minimal (given intelligent precautions/monitoring), but the frustration level can be very high...it's not as easy as it sounds.Originally Posted by Virtualbody1234
I foresee one of two scenarios unfolding...
-Seedler takes his time, documents results, proceeds logically and manages to OC with a semblance of stability, OR
-Seedler ups the clock 600MHz in one fell swoop, crashes the PC and gives up. A twelve page bitch thread appears.
Either way, it all becomes interesting/amusing HW world fodder so let the games begin.

Studded lugs don't exist for a Ferrari. I know this because I have in fact installed tires on a Ferrari. They have a policy where we had to pick up the wheels at the Ferrari dealership, install the tires and return with the assembly. It prevented us from "testing" the car.Originally Posted by clocker
Btw. I have 'studless' winter tires installed on my car.
Okay, I OCed a bit yesterday and these are the results:
Before OC:
Vcore 1.42v
+3.3: 3.28v
+5: 5.05v
+12: 12.03v
cpu temp: 36C
MB temp: 35 C
cpu fan: 3308 rpm
chassis fan1: 2033 rpm
chassis fan2: 2032 rpm
chipset fan?<---wuts this?: 5273rpm
After OCing cpu to 2.4 ghz (increased 1 multiplier and some mhz) and Ocing the x800gto to 420 mhz core, 510 mhz memory:
Vcore 1.42v
+3.3: 3.27v
+5.0: 5.06v
+12: 16.32v
cpu temp: 39C
MB temp: 37C
cpu fan: 3584rpm
chassis fan1 and 2: 2033rpm
chipset fan: 5772rpm
I'm quite happy with the results, and yes, I do need OC because I play HL2 lost coast, with OC, i get a 6 fps increment at 1280 by 1024 to around 53 fps.
When I look at the results, I still think I can get better OC results as my cpu temp/fan speed didn't even break a sweat and the air blowing outa my case is still cold. On the other hand, like VB and clocker said, I really dont want to fry my parts, so any suggestions as to how far I should OC or just stop right here?
I never said you would fry parts...in fact I think it's highly unlikely you could.Originally Posted by Seedler
The main consideration is not the danger, rather it's the benefit/stress ratio.
How much have you gained and at what price (quantified here as an increase in temp)?
How far you go is completely dependent upon your hardware and cleverness.
