a safe overclock?
- Thread starter S.A.S
- Start date
Slowly increase the FSB and test with Prime 95 or Orthos checking the temps at the same time, I would personley keep under 75c on each core.
You may need to adjust the memory timmings, and increase the cpu vore if Prime or Orthos fails.
Max overclock or safe overclock depends on your board and cpu cooling.

About 3.2Ghz max...
Which CPU?
The 805 Smithfield was a mental overclocker, it only had a 133MHz FSB so there were cases of people going to 4GHz and sometimes more, but the 820 was just too hot to clock (quite literally). The 9x0 series weren't just so good, but they did at least run much cooler.
[Edit]Actually, on the right motherboard, and with the right cooling, people were hitting 4.5GHz with the 805's.[/Edit]

If it's the CPU I'm thinking of, it won't have core sensors, just the motherboard sensor. And you can go as mad as you dare temperature-wise. You need a copy of Throttlewatch to see when you've gone too far. Motherboard temperatures of 85C are not unknown with Pentium D's.
What exactly were you going to upgrade to from a P45?
This should be interesting - a 133MHz FSB CPU in a 400MHz motherboard.
I take it you have this running?
Just ease the FSB up a bit until it stops booting and give it a bit of VCore. Repeat until it stops booting and more VCore won't help. 200FSB is certainly possible with those CPUs.
