 i was reading some OC forums and i was wondering how far could i push mine without blowing my computer up, in BIOS it was set to 200 mhz, i moved it further and i reached 228mhz(3,42ghz) everything seem stable, but i want to push it a lil further lets say 3,80mhz(the max supported by my mobo) but when i pushed the mhz to 229, everything was ok until i rebooted for the first time after setting that speed, there appeared vertical strings on my screen, kinda if the video card was broken(integrated) but as soon as i re-setted back to 228mhz everything was normal again, point is: could i push it further by modding my cpu voltage?-how safe is it? tyvm.

Overclocking Voids all manufacturers warranties!
DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK! If you toast it, and you did say how far can I push it, It is soley on your shoulders. Are you willing to buy a new motherboard and CPU just to experiment? This post has been edited by Eyesee: Jan 4 2008, 10:00 PM |
