Overclocking 4400+

squiffy · 11 Jul 2007 at 10:42

I have 245x11, voltage increase on vcore to 1.52. 2.7ghz. Doesn't go over 40 degrees at 100%x2 full load. Memory at 333 at POST, 193mhz in CPU-Z

Hi,
Just going through the same process myself (thread in the CPU forum). I think I might have finally got my x2 4400 stable at stock....issues with my Corsair RAM and Mobo compatibility.
Just curious what sort of temps (Idle/Load) are you getting at 2.5Ghz ?
Cheers.

I shall check this for you when I get home

But I left my computer on over night doing two sets or Prime 95 for about 7 hours-ish and it stayed around 47 load for cpu, my chipset was about 48 as its passive.

I think idle its about 35-37.

Thanks

I might give it a go...Just I'm not too keen on blaring loads of volts through the cpu just yet. Dont exactly have money laying around to replace the thing.

THATS! Why I dont really overclock! =P

Computer no longer shows post, just gives memory/graphics card beeps...Regardless if theres any memory even installed or not.

So its either cpu / RAM or motherboard..Joy joy

I think increasing vcore is ok, it'll shorten it's life, but by the time it's dead it'll be slow anyway. You just need suitable HSF to expel the extra heat. Might as well get extra performance now for a few years. Apparently people have had quite long runs of overclocked/over voltage processors.

Rite...Question guys, is it worth me getting say an Opteron 180 over the 3800+??? Bearing in mind I had a 4400+ before.

I doubt ill be overclocking, cause yeah, look what happened

Will there be much difference from a 3800+ to the opteron 180/x2 4800??? Over my old 4400...cause of clock speeds and the cache?

Thanks in advance
