Might be premature as the processor hasn't arrived yet, but it's due soon. Hopefully it'll prove my q9550 defective and I'll have a working machine again. So, coming from a background of overclocking an e8400 and a q9550, is the pentium similar?
It'll be on a decent P45 board with 1066mhz ram, which is somewhat lopsided but never mind. It'll have a fixed multiplier, and a default fsb which I push up until the system refuses to run stable? I'm guessing I'll hit the processor limit before the motherboard.
I hear these run hot and use a lot of power. Is this relative to todays quad cores? I don't want to damage my board by feeding too much power to the processor, and it's hard to find anything beyond 'they're very hot chips'. Essentially Google is quite outdated on the topic so I thought I'd ask here.
"Intel Pentium 4 3.06ghz/1M/04A S775
5738A200 SL8JA"
Intel think 84W, I don't know if this is at 1.4V or not. 90nm!
Q9550 is rated 95W, Q6600 105W. Does this mean my board will feed it whatever voltage I ask for without flinching?
Cheers
