but i dont think it was necessary.... i mean - with -190ºC you could keep overclocking (if the chip allowed that, of course)..... cuz with like a temp of 20ºC it would be enuff for it to stay that wayOriginally posted by james_bond_rulez@31 December 2003 - 01:58

Whatever you do, watch yer mem-speed, if you tweak something that puts your mem over maximum buss speed you might accidently oc it, I once did this with some RAM unintentionally, never had more blue-screens in my life.
Also, the pencil trick only works on old ones apparently, later XP:s have been made so it can't be done, I think lynx told me this.
Ok.. so i have two sticks of GeIL ram running at dual channel PC3200 (400mhz?)
So that means 166mhz is the right number?
yes it will runOriginally posted by Shiranai_Baka@31 December 2003 - 06:55

True snny. The next gen Athys used laser cut grooves to defeat this trick. You had to use super-glue gel (to fill in the grooves), scotch-tape (to seal the grooves for the gel) and a rear window defroster kit to bridge the gap. The newer Athys (or so I'm told) have to be Dremmel cut. Not for me!Also, the pencil trick only works on old ones apparently, later XP:s have been made so it can't be done, I think lynx told me this.
And yeah, the pencil trick was el-cheapo. Besides that, it didn't last all that long.
No worries, DWK, we all are. B)nah its cool thats not the problem.... im just trying to learn shit hehe
As a special note, AMD and Intel claim that the reason for stopping OC'ing is to stop vendors from OC'ing thier procs and selling them in systems for the cost of the more expensive (faster) proc. They don't like dealing with pissed off customers who want warrenty work on a system with a warrenty voided proc. Not to mention the small loss of sales.....nothing like a little corporate greed.
