Overclocking CPU

[petko131]

Have you tried to push it past 3.7 i think ypu should give it a try. If you temps are that low then go for it

@ 20% it fails to boot;
i am worried about the CPU being used from so much for nothing (it jumps from 0-100% 3 times in 1 sec.)

Maybe I've panicked a little bit to much :sarc:
After rebooting, every thing appears normal now.

If you have a decent OC don't push it
anymore be satisfied with what you have

I doubt even overclocking that cpu would boost the WEI anyway im pushing close to 4.8ghz and can't get a 7.9

I would call it a day at that point 3.7Ghz is fine

Good advice Solarstarshines. You'll notice little difference in another 100MHz. And you are risking your computer. WEI is not a benchmark anyway, and was never intended to be. Make sure you have good components and never use software to overclock. Understand, when you overclock your CPU, you are also stressing almost every other component in your computer. The best advice I ever had was if you can't afford to replace it, don't overclock it.

I never intended to oc more. I'm satisfied with 500mhz more
Hope that the pentium 4 lasts till i replace it. If i notice something weird, i will reduce the oc back to 3.

I never thought that WEI is a benchmark

Very Good .....
Make sure to keep a eye on those temps
Enjoy your new OC looks solid

If anything wierd happens just come back here. We will be happy to help

That needs to be made a sticky in the overclockers thread. It is such good advice.

 

[Pedroc1999]

I also agree. There should be thread in every section about good sayings and good advice (short ofcourse)

 

[petko131]

I got the CPU @ 3.8 (from original 3.2)
Temps are stable (45C @ load, 30C idle)

 

[Pedroc1999]

Good to know. On an older chip that may even boost your WEI Scores so may as well refresh it

 

[petko131]

The WEI raised for .6 (from 3.7-4.4)

 

[Pedroc1999]

thats good
