Hardware, Software, and Other Imperialist Crap / Overclocking
« on: August 06, 2004, 03:32:48 PM »
I've overclocked my CPU.... I've overclocked my video card.... Is there anything else you can overclock?
I have a P4C800E-Deluxe ASUS motherboard, which has bios overclocking capabilites , however the first time I did it.... I only overclocked by 20% which brought my 2.8GIG to a 3.2GIG. I only played for like 5 min with my side cover of the tower off and restarted my computer, to re-set the CPU settings back to normal. On re-start it said CPU failure and I could not get past that. After letting the computer sit for an hour I powered on again, this time no warning and I was able to set it back to normal settings. Apparently this is a known problem with this board but not much word from ASUS on how to fix it. ANYONE here know of this
And seconldly I use PowerStrip to overclock the video card, and have found that to make a LARGE difference in performance. It's a Radeon 9600 Pro, found it to be much less effective on nvidea cards as the engines must be cranked from the factory .
