    Intel Pentium D 820 2.80HGHz overclocked to 3.40GHz


    Hi all
    I was just wondering because this is my first time overclocking!
    Is it safe to overclock the Intel Pentium D 820 to 3.40GHz
    I have 450w PSU ,2gig Of RAM 3 fans and a system blower

    It's safe if you know what you are doing.
    I wouldn't overclock using the stock heatsink and fan though.

    I have taken a look at the case temps and cpu temps
    the case temp is 40 degrees and the CPU is at 45 degrees

    you need to run this program and see what your cpu temps hit before you attempt to over clock,

    Ps: I think that the temp for the CPU was around 35 degrees
    Thanks Ashley
