Has anyone overclocked their processor to a stable speed with gud temperatures, as I'm thinking of overclocking my processot to a 3.4 or 3.6. My pentium 4 processor is a Northwood core.
Key point. If it doesn't benefit "real-world" use then it's not worth it imo.DarthDazDC said:Besides it probably will be noticable when I compare it to benchmarks in 3d mark and sum time demos in doom 3, unreal 2004 etc

I haven't overclocked it any; it's running at normal speed for a good reason - I can't overclock!
Since it's if barton core, the FSB is running at 166 MHz. If I increase it only 1 more mhz, the whole system locks up... :huh:
Meh. However did you get 180 MHz FSB? It's probably one of the components which are freaking out at this speed...
But in the past, I've overclocked. Oh damn it's nice...

Just a confusing one maybe the PC2700 rams extra speed in someway compensates for the slower ram in the FSB increase?
Any thoughts on this?
