first proper oc

[Yrkoon]

hey guys spent all last night overclocking my 3700 sandy with a artic cooling freezer 64 pro temps seem to be about 30 odd c idle and hit 51 during prime at 2.6ghz.

running on a dual vsta board as well. p120 bios i think.

whats the max temp a a64 can go to before it gets damage and is it possible to push this chip more i tried it on 2.7 but it wasnt stable on prime for long.

heres some pics

roughly, 55c. It can vary though. More volts = lower max temperature needed.

55c can damage the chip on stock volts?

 

[weescott]

no

kool thx btw is there a program that would let me see core cpu temp while im running fullscreen apps?

thinking of pushing my chip a bit more

Alt Enter for windowed mode im afraid.

ah k btw i just lowered my voltage for the chip 1.375 and running prime at the moment getting better temps by a wee bit and seems stable so far at 2.6ghz

i noticed when i was doing that my main board had 1.4 as maximum voltage i could select so i guess im stuck on 2.6

i assume lowering voltage cant do any harm cept be unstable?

prime still running

meh just failed about 19 minutes in guess ill stick voltage back to 1.4

does any one else have a dual vsta board and if so can you execeed 1.4volts on it? if any one can what bios version u running

tried booting vista with 2.7 ghz and failed tho xp boots at that the lack of voltage increase is killing my first proper cpu oc
