hey guys i have a 2000xp TB it was running at 1.67 and i move the freq up from 133 to 140 its curently running at 1.75 it won't letm e go up higher without changing my memory speed to 333 so i plan to upgrade from my 2100 266 to 2700 333 and then i plan to move the freg to 150 so i can get the proc to run at 1.8 or so.....my curent cpu temp is 45c with regular cooling fan... what do u guys think ? i would love to get it up in the 2.0 but am not sure on that...
Have a look at http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/83263 for some more stuff.... you should be able to hit 1800-1900 ... you wont be getting 2000 anytime soon (or not without fancy cooling at least unless its the fluke of a lifetime hehe The temp isnt so bad but if you want to OC, have a look at the cooling thread
yea i plan on geting a tornato +7 or so.... am just trying to get my memory first...i was just wondering when i increased the frequency from 140 to 150 on the cpu to OC more how much should i increase the voltages...or should i try it first withouti ncreasing the voltages... ?
Well I can officially say I have no idea what you are talking about. Sounds like you are confusing the Volcano 7+ HSF with the Tornado case fans. In either case I'd reccommend the Volcano 9+ or a more recent model since the Volcano 7+ is quite absolete and IMH, no longer an effective cooling unit (hell, I use the fan on that as a case fan) Nobody can tell you. You have to play around with your computer. Ya The KT400s arent the greatest for OCing and dont seen to give a lot of leeway. For OCing, the nForce2 chipset is the desired one
i see thx...yea i confused the tornados sry about that..about the voltages if i increas 2 much or 2 lil can't i mess up the proc?
i jsut got a volcano 11+ waing for my (333)ram i have 2000xp running at 1.75ghz i increased the frequency up a litle to 140 but havent goten to 150 because i need the (333)ram...
What do you guys consider to be the better processor Pentium or AMD? Someone told me, when you go to sale your computer it has more selling power with the Pentium chip inside over the AMD....Don't know why that would matter? Name brand? it's more popular? Price? I also heard on the other hand, AMD is better because it's perfomace is up with Pentium and the chip cost much less... Don't really know. I heard for years and years Pentium keep spanking the AMD line overall....What do you guys think about AMD's new 64 bit chip Vs Pentiums highest processor? which would be an Xeon chip right? for 2 times the $$$$$$. When is Pentium making their 64 bit processor? and if and when they do will it be better than AMD's Current 64?
Also....Is it going to end up being the old Pentium Vs AMD debate? Pentium will come out with their 64bit chip it will spank the AMD 64, then a year later AMD will come out with something to spank Pentium's 64bit and so on....Is this what's going to happen in the future?
I would choose an AMD over a Pentium anyday. P4 cost to much, they are overrated. You want a good Processer, go with an AMD 64 WOOOH
Any modern CPU can be overclocked with a supporting motherboard. Why don't you guys ever post in the official overclocking thread?
I wonder that too. As to how far you can overclock, that utterly depends on what the rest of the components are.
