OK will my cpu like just starting failing if, I keep overclocking and then go back to default speed and then overclock again and then go back to default speed.
Like will your cpu fail if you keep changing you clock speed all the time

I don't think it does anything to change it often but do you really notice a big difference when you set it faster?
It also wouldn't be that bad if it did fail. (Intel Pentium II - 400MHz.)... Just a good excuse to upgrade. :)

thats not I asked it's just i was at 504 went to 400 and now at 400 wondering if i go back to 504.
I asked is changing the clock speed all the time unhealthy
yes it is fast unelieveable huh?

Not that unbelievable, after all it's running 25% faster whereas a 100MHz on a P4 2GHz would only be an increase of 5%. :)
Switching between 400MHz and 504MHz won't do any harm at all, although running it constantly at 504MHz may do.
Your 26% speed increase is quite impressive, I suspect you see far more of a performance improvement than abu does with his 8.33% speed increase. :lol:

The cpu I had was clocked for 16 months and ran smooth as hell with everything I threw at it now moved on but still overclocking make sure your fan is big enough is all I can say. :D

it's not really that impressive, I guess the only amazing thing is oced on stock cooling but if i had pc133 ram I could go to 532mhz. Pentium 3 is still better tho ;)
