Cooling Ideas

[Casheti]

Well, how do I overclock using the BIOS? i want to give a pic of the bios, but it bloody well doesn't upload. Either too big or my 1mb broadband isn't fast enough.

Google "overclocking guide" and learn

Or... I can just ask Azn Tr14dZ, seeing as he has my processor, and did it.

Or.... you can learn for yourself seeing as how every motherboard and system performs differently.

But go ahead and start blindly OCing.

Actually, if you care to look, he has my motherboard as well. I only want to OC to roughly 3.0GHz and nothing under.

Ah, but the same memory and power supply as well? Every system performs differently. No two processors are exactly alike. Not all motherboards and PC parts are equal.

Overclocking is an art. You should take the time to learn it.

The first step you can take, is adjusting the FSB speed through the BIOS, make sure your ram is either running at or below it's rated speed by using dividers(unless you have good overclockable ram).

A CPU speed is determined by a simple equation; "FSB X CPU multiplier" when you raise the FSB the cpu speeds goes up.

How far you can overclock your processor depends on the ability of the CPU, motherboard, ram, and power supply, as well as cooling.

This is just a brief introduction, it would take an hour to write a full guide.

Noone wants to help someone who refuses to help themself, knowledge is only a google away.

I just wanna jump in the ring and box with the big boys. The big muscley OC boys.

Read up then, and become one of the best.

Can't I just wait for Mike Tyson (Azn Tr14dZ) to step into the ring and give me a lesson I wont forget. Im sure our computers aren't THAT different. Please could you check my specs and see if I'm up for OC to 3.0GHz?

 

[Casheti]

Oh, and why does my BIOS say my memory is PC 4200, and all software tells me its PC 4300?

Whats the difference?

Ok, mem is fine better than mine, PSU scares me but is also fine. Cooler is BAD for ocing, might be ok for a minor overclock, but other than that, no. Also, read some guides, cannot point you to a good one, but do. Basically enough, you want to go up by about 5mHz at a time, and as the comp "hits the wall," you slowly make the vcore rise. Personally, I don't let my cpu (a northwood like yours at 3.2 stock) get over 65c or 1.55v. Read a guide, thats just the gist.

 

[Casheti]

Well, would it make any difference if I just blew a giant desktop fan onto all the components?

I found out mine has a presler core. SysSpec was telling me wrong.

Some people just never learn.

Well, I just wanna ask Azn Tr14dZ how he did it first. If he did it a way I cant, then I'll look up the guides. Azn Tr14dZ PLEASE TELL ME WHEN YOU ARE ON AND I NEED YOUR OC SKILLS TO PASS DOWN A GNERATION!!!

 

[Azn Tr14dZ]

What temps are you getting on your Pentium D 920 now, Idle and Load?

 

[Casheti]

How can I check?

 

[Azn Tr14dZ]

Oh yeah... you have an HP. My MoBo only came from an HP too (that's why in the case gallery it said came from HTPC case).

Wait, I'm deoing some research right now. Where do you live?

 

[Casheti]

Im in South East England, so nowhere near you basically. What method did you use to overclock the CPU??? I imagine it would work for me too.

 

[KennyT772]

again dude read guides.

what azn will say is only on your board.
i can gauntee you will one more then one pc you with to overclock
read guides(availble everywhere) and u only need to be told once
ask questions like this and you have to be told every time in specifics for each mobo so just read the friggin guides


oh and google is your friend

 

[Azn Tr14dZ]

Well, you can get CPUFSB, for around $18 and when you overclock it, it saves it so that everytime you turn it on your overclock applies. If you don't want to pay, get limewire and download the full for free.

Thank you!!

 

[Azn Tr14dZ]

^LOL. Thanks you guys. I didn't want to be rude and tell him off but if he asked again I would.

 

[Azn Tr14dZ]

I'm bored now, because I can't help anyone...

 

[trog100]

the zalman looks pretty.. he he

trog

 

[Casheti]

So, Ill just get CPUFSB and OC my CPU. I hope this works.
