Hi there,
First the CPU question:
Now I've got a PII 955 (C3), clocked it to ~4GHz. So I've searched the web and found out that people running at 4GHz need to have their Vcore around 1.45 - 1.55 Volt, but now I test my CPU at 4GHz with stock Volt (1.375) and have been running Prime95 for about an hour now with no error (Will test it in 2 hours+). Temperature is 37C IDLE and 56 LOAD, using Overdrive status monitor.
I had it at 3.8GHz stock volt with no problems.
So IF my CPU don't crash, should it stay at standard volt, or do i get more performance if i add a little more? (This do sound weird, but good to know. )
Settings in BIOS:
Multiplier: 20
FSB: 201
HT link: 2000
NB frequency: 2600
CPU volt: 1.375
NB volt: 1.25
Is this setting good?
Then the GPU question:
I have the 6950 and want to unlock it, but I don't want to destroy it. So could I unlock with 6970 Bios, decrease the volt to 1.1 (I think that was standard 6950 volt) and have stock clocks (800/1250) but have 1536 shaders..
Would that work, if anyone have tried that?
Sorry if I had some "dumb" questions, but I want my things to work as best it can.
