Furthermore i've got a Radeon 9700 pro thats has its engine clock set to 342.47Mhz and it's memory clock set to 329.68 mhz. With the CPU running at 3.01 Ghz and the cpu at it's most agresssive memory setting i got a 3d mark of 16,934. Is this reasonable for what i have my hardware set at?

actually when i wrote 112F i meant 121F and i'm using a Volcano 7+ with arctic silver 3. And i've got 6 case fans installed. It reached a temp of 121F after running prime95 for 6 hours.

I've got an Asus P4PE motherboard. according to Asusprobe, the software for monitoring the bios i am at 1.648 volts. The CPU is a B-0 stepping P4 @2.53Ghz overclocked currently to 3.01Ghz, my ram is running at around 412Mhz(i forget exactly) and it's set at the most aggressive timmings. I ran...

It boots at fine at 3Ghz, i've also payed unreal 2003 on it for a while, run a bunch of system benchmarks on it, had 3dsmax render a bunch of frames on it. So i'm pretty sure it's stable but i'll run prime95 on it. thanks for the advise though.

I just overclocked my 2.53 Ghz p4 to 3.2 Ghz. The question i have is what is a safe Vcore setting for my prossesor. Right now it's at 1.6, is this safe? How high can you set the vcore on a P4? Thanks for your help! quantumgroove

Wasup! I've got a 2.53GHz P4, (B-0 stepping unfortunatly) with an Asus P4PE (loaded version) MB and 512Mb PC3200 Corsair XMS memory c2. As far as cooling goes i've got an Thermaltake Volcano 7+ and i'm using Arctic silver 3 thermal compound. I'm somewhat new to overclocking newer pcs so i would...

Alright but what kind of cooling do i need, will a good fan+heatsink combo work considering i've already got 8 fans in my case or am i going to have to invest in a water cooled case?

what kind of cooling is required to achieve 2.8 or 2.9 GHz with a p4 2.53Ghz @533FSB. and what mother board is good for this i was thinking about getting an Asus P4b533-e.

I am looking at getting a new MB with new ram and a new cpu. But i was wondering what CPU is better at OC, a P4 2.4Ghz 533FSB a P4 2.53Ghz 533 FSB or An Athalon XP 2400 And if i should get a P4 What speed DDR ram should i buy? Also what mother board is decently priced with good features but...

Well after reading through all the post i think i'll go with a P4 2.4 GHZ I don't quite know what MB and ram combo i'm going to pick but due to overwhelming support for the Radeon 9700 pro i'll go with that. I guess price watch has a price quote for 309+shipping for a Radeon 9700 pro retail...

So i take it that generaly going with the RDram @1066 isn't really worth the money Also i've heard that the radeon 9700 pro doesn't have as great a driver support as the Geforce line of cards. Is this the case or am i just hearing individualized complaints from poeple and not a general feeling...

What motherboad with an intel 845g would you recomend?

I've decided that it's about that time for me to upgrade my PC. Specifically i want to upgrade my CPU, MB, ram and Video card. The problem is i want to keep it as cheap as possible but get the best bang for my buck. I've been doing some research on what to get and have come up with two options...
