My first successful OverClocking(3.06GHz ->3.72GHz)

Sorry, Artic Cooling Pro Cooling Fan.

Dude i'll wait and get a Quad Core a month or two later.As i just now bought two 320GB HDD.And planned to buy a 9500GT by end of next week.So i'll wait for another two months and get a Quad Core(may be a Q8200 or Q6600).

Get a cheaper core2duo procy and a better graphics card.....

Nice OC there comgrats ...I cant wait for a core i7 cpu cooler to take mine around 3.8-4Ghz.

BTW,I am going to buy Artic Silver for 350bucks and a Aric Cooling Pro fan for another 350bucks.So no harm for wallet.

Yup, April best time, sun seems bright, temps okay, it's heavenly, and proccs are calling u to be bought.

A Cheaper C2D? Man, the least we can get is E7300 that too for around 5.8k(here in Chennai). Wasn't other C2D proccys cheaper than this?
BTW Man, Whats ur proccy speed?

Can Pentium D 2.8Ghz be also overclocked and to which extent. And my mobo also don't have any manual controls.

 

[comp@ddict]

Well, if ur mobo is an Intel original, can't help.

I remember one of the PentiumD's go to 4GHz on stock.

Explains why I brought mine on April 2 last year.

I've OCED my Pentium D 925 CPU to 3.73Ghz Last with Stock Cooler with 1.31V core voltage & it was stable.

@ rajkumar_pb

At that OC speed Run Orthos for atleast half an hour. See the Temps in Everest & tell US.

Post a CPU-Z screenshot by running orthos stress test & everest sensor/temp monitor option running. That will show you & us the temps at load,
stability & what cpu vcore voltage at full load.

Lolz

Orthos? I never heard about it.. Anyway i'll download it and will post the screenies later.

 

[comp@ddict]

Yup, it takes a few hours I guess, but it's a perfect test for stability.

Man. You surprised me
It's a must have tool for any OCers out there. Get it from here :

[furious_gamer]

Man, its my OC'ing and i dont know much about it. Thanks for the link.

 

[topgear]

I think you have missed the word - first time

BTW, Welcome to the world of OC

 

[furious_gamer]

First post edited. Added pics of Orthos test.. Have a look at them

Guys Orthos test finished and post the pics by editing the first post itself...
Plz have a look at that

 

[topgear]

Thanks for the pics. But there is not any CPU temp is shown on any picture Coz you are using an old version of everest.
Use HWmonitor to measure the CPU temp & voltages correctly.
*www.cpuid.com/hwmonitor.php

Also don't halt the orthos stress test while taking the screenshot. Keep Orthos stress/blend test running & keep HWmonitor & CPU-Z windows open side by side. Then take the screen shot & post the result.

Do kkep in mind that the max volt range of your CPU is 1.4V but from the pic I can see It's going 1.38V @ idle condition so I think it will go beyond 1.4V under load.

Also your CPUs max temp limit is 67.7C. So keep the temp in check.

I am having Hp Asterope 3 Motherboard and it don't have any overclocking settings.

Should I use software to overclock.

@topgear

I start the test and after few mins i slept. Suddenly when i woke up i see the Orthos still running and u see it run for 51minutes.So i am just sleepy and had no mind what i am doing. Plainly taking screenshot and copy it to my pen drive and again sleeping.Thats the reson behind that.

 

[topgear]

Just test with current version of CPU-Z which is 1.49 ( you are using 1.45 )

& the latest version of everest is 4.60 which is not free so I suggested HWmonitor.

I think downloading them & test your rigs stability & temp with them won't take much time

BTW, Sleep in peace & I wish you sweet dreams

@topgear
Since i am doing some BIOS update kinda thing i dont have time to do the all and even i go to my room by 10PM and sleep by 11PM to ensure that i'm in office tomorrow by 10:30AM... So once i successfully finish updating BIOS, i'll do these stuffs and will post screenies. Till then , i am biting my nails for updating BIOS.

OFFTOPIC :
Will i able to use CD Drive as the source to update BIOS.Like we use floppy drive and update it.
