I've been running my Duron 800@1070 for a few months now, basically 24/7. No probstheacj said:I wouldn't recommend overclocking as a long term solution though, I've heard it causes all sorts of problems
Slougi said:well i am watercooling and temps generally stay below 30C, so i doubt it will melt the socket
And I know a whle lot of ppl overclocking and running 24/7.
I mainly do it due to the noise, it's almost silent now. The overclocking is just a nice bonus. As I said I run it almost 24/7 and sleep in the same room, so it's really nice to have a silent pc.Azimer said:That is what I don't understand. With the expense of the water pump and the added electricity to run that pump, you could buy a faster CPU which fits in that socket.
Smiff said:i think O/C is fine long term but how do i put this, i wouldn't use any cooling solution that, if it fails, results in dead hardware... but if you have an AMD CPU, there's no choice on that AFAIK, basically Intel stuff locks up, AMD stuff burns... but AMD stuff is sufficiently cheaper that you can buy two for one anyway. I've used peltiers before but honestly it was a waste of money, i only ever use HS or HS+fan now. Same with SMP, don't waste your money.
