Hey guys!
I got an old rig here, and funny thing is that my P4 (socket 478) can't hit 2.8 GHz (the stock speed. It won't boot or anything unless I put the frequency multiplier to 125 (which 130 is default) and Voltage to 1.450 (Which 1.5 is default)
Here are some of the other specs:
1gb DDR ram
FX 5500
80gb hard Drive
Asus P4 XTE motherboard.
It was like this even before I removed the stock cooler. I saw that the thermal paste has run dry and I thought that it won't do anything bad. The fan also makes load Whirrrrr noises and it's normal temps are around 46-53 Degree Celsius. I was thinking of buying new thermal paste and re-apply it on the cooler, but since I'm getting a new rig I left that Idea out.
Anyone knows why It can't hit the 2.8 mark?
Thanks!
