Overclockable or no?

[zAlbee]

only if it's unstable and you think increasing the Vcore will make it stable. (ie. if you keep increasing it and it's still unstable, stop, and back off on the overclock)

my default Vcore is 1.53, when I changed it into 1.55, my cpu got 72ºC. yeah, I clocked the processor to 3.37ghz hehe.. there is any way to cool down the cpu instead buying a new cooler? and when you say stable system, you mean no crashes and no hangs, am i right?

Stable means no hangs when doing prime95 or doing anything that will push the processor.

Stable means no hangs when doing prime95 or doing anything that will push the processor.

That also means no BSODs or any error messages.

How about instead of potentially frying your CPU while attempting an overclock (which as far as I can see you won't be able to pull anyway), you'll just replace the incredibly shitty Intel GFX card that you have with something worthwile?

I would but the only graphics card I have is a GeForce 6600GT designed for an AGP slot. The new one pushes PCI-E. That's why i didn't change it....

But No Matter....Sorry for reviving a dead thread, I switched to an older computer still using PC3200 DDR RAM and supporting AGP, so It's fine now....doubled the RAM too...512MB with GeForce 6600GT....Life is good.

 

[dukenukem]

Are you still using that dell comp?

 

[GCFreak]

From what I've read, probably.

Well, kinda, I moved from a Dell Dimension 4700 with DDR2 RAM and PCI-E with HyperThreading to a Dell Dimension 4600 with DDR RAM and AGP slot without HyperThreading. It's just about the same computer..... Same processor speed @ 2.8GHz...We had two computers, but the other was my Dad's computer and we had planned on just switching computers, but the 4700 also used SATA hard drives and we still had PATA or IDE hard drives...so I kept the 4700 for a bit before trading. But no matter, it's done now...
