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  :lol: , 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. :shock:   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.  :oops:  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.  :D  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 :cry: .

I hear overclocking your power supply to 220volts helps a lot.

*laughs*

You can OC your bus. But that usually leads to issues.

Personally, I'd rather spend the money on the faster hardware up front cause I usually don't have the money to replace stuff that blows up.

Hey man. Getting spatulated HURTS. Other than that, I've got your back.

You should have seen the other day on the IRC channel. I'm still waiting for the fallout from that one.

I didn't like myy watch performance so I overclocked it once. Then I was always on time, even early! But after a while, I started to be late all the time. And then early again. The cycle never ended. It was too much of a hassle so I just gave up on the overclocking bit. It's so 1990's anyway.
