Sweet man. Now lets see some pics and some benchies.

 

[Solaris17]

Sweet!

 

[CjStaal]

yeah i just oc'd the processor to 3.9 but i dont know how long its life will be now, when i get a digi cam i'll show you guys it but which bench do you want?

 

[Solaris17]

hm super pi times 3dmark scores aquamark 3....umm.......lets see i dont really know any cpu dependent benches..prime 95 times maybe....and u can 3d mark and only pic the cpu tests

 

[CjStaal]

omg i just started running 3dmark05 and about 30 seconds into the first test, my computer goes to a blank blue screen and i had to hit the switch to restart... hmm maybe i should lower it, maybe not

4 gigs wont be recognized unles you have a 64 bit os, also 4 gigs will greatly limit your ram oc.

 

[CjStaal]

now it jsut gave me a "explorer has encountered a error and needs to close" hmm oh yeah only 7/8of my ram cards (on my graphics card) have heatsinks, the other didnt stick well, i need better heatsinks and thermal epoxy, i have pure coppor heatsinks...

4 gigs wont be recognized unles you have a 64 bit os, also 4 gigs will greatly limit your ram oc.

I have a 64-bit os and right now my ram (on my mobo) is only running 333mhz because when i built it i didnt bother looking into that, my gig of ram card is i think the most you can get with ddr but my 1/2 gig is 333mhz, i need to switch over to ddr2(my comp supports both)

 

[CjStaal]

I just brought it down to 3.8 since i was running super-pi (the 32m or something)and after the 9th loop it was all like **BLUE SCREEN** **EXCEPTION_HANDLE_ERROR** or something like that, I almost shit myself

EDIT:f*** the slowing down, i just upped the voltage .025 anyways you cant even see the bars on some of this graph since its so f***ing high

<-during a benchmark

<-not during one
EDIT:f***ing blue screen error again, had to bring it down to 3.6

Welcome to the world of overclocking. What kind of cooling and temps are you running?

 

[CjStaal]

water cooling, temps ~40 when worked hard(gpu) and i dont really know my cpu probally ~45-55

 

[CjStaal]

I just did a benchtest 472.50/502.20 and I came up with a 3733 (I have a x700 pro ati); is that any good?

 

[CjStaal]

give me love

 

[wtf8269]

Heh techPowerUp! Forums are pretty slow really. Usually when people see something or reply a few times that's about it. And as far as your benchmark, yes that is good.

 

[Solaris17]

see now what needs to happen is now u need to throw a diff power supply in check all your leaks and tell us if that beast fires back up.

 

[CjStaal]

I was thinking about buying a new power supply yesterday, ironic, this one was just to loud... and a new case so it looks pretty when I get a camera :-D

 

[Solaris17]

i just hope u didnt kill it im scared of buzzing noises hope it works out

 

[CjStaal]

Thanks man, yeah I'm scared of the dredded buzzieness, I'm going to have nightmares tonight

 

[CjStaal]

Wait... is this good or bad...

 

[Solaris17]

wait so does the processor still work?

 

[CjStaal]

I dont know yet , my power supply fried

 

[CjStaal]

oh ps oit broke when i had it at stock clocks so i know thats not the reasdon

 

[Solaris17]

^ wait so the puter crapped out while u were running stock do i have this right?

 

[CjStaal]

yeah, i just checked it was indeed the power supply, everything else is fine
