New email guys jM.Techpowerup@gmail.com

right now i'm hovering at 48-52c' on my cpu....
will that be ok ? because i'm trying to remain as compact as possible because this is a lan party computer that i carry around.

Kk, I will see what I can do. NO PROMISES!

Gonna be tough, what time you going to be on til?

Thank you! I was trying to keep it "en cognito" as much as I could but it didn't work.

Hey its no problem at all. I did try out your placement of this logo but it just didnt look right at all.

I am very rarely on MSN during the week. But when I am on we will have long chit chat my friend.

I know we haven't had a chance to chit chat lately, just been wonder ing how things are going and what you have been up to lately?

Hi JM,
I have been reading about overclocking the past days, and I am interested to start overclocking.
Below are the specs of my PC:
CPU: Intel® E5200 2.5GHz, 800FSB
MoB: Intel® Desktop Board DG31PR (G31 Express Chipset)
Mem: Kingston 2GB 256M x 64-bit DDR2-800 CL-6 200-Pin SODIMM
VC: Inno3D 9400GT 512 DDR2 DVI 128bit
Casing: Azzura 2000: 450 Watts, Front Fan : 1 x 90 mm, Back Fan : 1 x 90 mm, Air Duct System : Yes
OS: Vista x64 Ultimate

I have no other cooling hardware, except an additional 90mm Fan installed at the lower side.

I don't want impressive overclocked system, I just want to gain additional performance improvement.
A little above 3.0 GHz would already be heaven for me.

I have read the complete article, on this site, but I am pinting you this this page:
http://techgage.com/article/intel_pe...-core_e5200/11

From there, he mentioned on paragraph entitled Overclocking Intel's Pentium Dual-Core E5200, on the third paragraph, that he having the FSB set to 266MHz alone has improved the CPU speed to 3.32 GHz.

I know that by merely increasing FSB will increase CPU speed as FSB x multiplier = CPU speed. MY question is, do you think my system will be fine if i change my FSB to 266 MHz, and do nothing else?

With this minimal change (of course I have to actually run test to get the a quantitative value), do you think I would still have to buy another cooling hardware?

I know I have to test this to actually know, but I thought it's better to get an experts initial view on things before I even start.

I hope you don't mind my question, in spite of the many post on overclocking. I get too overwhelmed with all the data being mentioned. I just want the simplest, probably one-setting twek to improve my system's performance.

Thanks alot.
