I just got a new processor and i wanted to know how much i would be able to overlock it without a liquid cooling system. only with the stock cooling fan. any help would be aprechated. thanks
forgot to mention the processor type. its a pentium d 3.0. i need to know how and whats the most i can get out of it? once again thanks
Very little. Pentium Ds don't overclock that well, but the main sticking point is that they produce huge amounts of heat, which means when overclocked, the stock cooler can't keep up. My best advice is to not even bother until you get a replacement cooler. It doesn't need to be expensive, something like an Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro (about $30) will do.
i cant buy from newegg.com. im forbidden from that. i dont know why but i can pay but ill just recieve my money back. i can only buy from tigerdirect.com i know its stupid but i guess. so could you find a decent cooler on there plz. with the cooler whats the most i can get out of the processor
A good cooler and you could potentially make 3.7Ghz, but you'd need a good motherboard. As for tigerdirect, they don't really seem to do many heatsinks...
well im sorry to say but i need another website to purchase from. if you can find me one it would be greatly apprichiated.
ok i had a problem with paypal. they seized 200 dollars according to them i was doing something illegal. so they say. i had to send in my picture id a copy of my water and light bill. just so that they could conform that it was me. after all that they also wanted my bank account they asked for so much that even when i hsd sent in all the info. they still said they needed more. so when i tried buying from newegg. they told me that i could not purchase anything until that situation was resolved. i had ordered a motherboard and core 2 duo just to have my money returned. took them 7 days. complete waist of time. sorry for the long post.
PayPal are usually pretty poor about dealing with legal issues, but if they do latch onto one, they'll take it right to the end. I suggest meeting them there and resolving it once and for all. If you see no reason why they should seize $200, make them sort it out, or else report them. The US has a trading standards committee right?
