    My First C2D Overclock

    Well it passed Orthos for 24 hours at 3.8, just wondering if people still consider this to be stable or if there's some other torture test out there. I suppose the ultimate test will be if it ever crashes or acts up on me.

    My First C2D Overclock

    Zalman CNPS9500, temps seem high for the voltage but those are the core temps in the picture not the "cpu temp"

    My First C2D Overclock

    Yeah but it makes me sad looking at my old system sitting in the corner, the watercooled monster that it is.

    My First C2D Overclock

    I've had my current rig for about 3 weeks now and I told myself I was just going to run it at stock speeds seeing as its performance easily met my needs, but anyway I couldn't help myself. Pic Thats where I've stopped myself currently I didn't wanna push it too far temp/voltage wise...

    PSU Advice

    Wow thats a good find. I was worried that some of the rails on the one I linked previously would go to waste, so this seems ideal. I had never heard of this manufacturer before, probably because i tend to live and die by newegg.com. The problems people have been having with Antec came as a...

    PSU Advice

    I need a new PSU for my gaming rig which can be seen in my sig. It was running strong for about a year and a half when my Antec PSU died. It always ran hot and I dont think it had what it takes to handle my 6800GT, overclocking, and my watercooling setup. Ive been shopping for a new power supply...

    Is 1.55V too high for AMD Venice 3000+?

    Damn 1.71 volts. I've been away for a while and last I knew people were worried about frying the memory controller. Did it end up being an issue?

    Replacing heatsink

    I agree run the processor for a bit before you take it off. I was moving my hardware into a new case and I made the mistake of taking the stock heatsink with a thermal pad off last so I couldnt run it to loosen it up to put my waterblock on, it took some force but there was no damage thankfully.

    Prime95 heat!

    That seem pretty decent. Back before I got watercooling my temps use to get up to 62C with my 3200 winchester at 2.55 with a voltage of 1.5 with stock cooling, that was where i drew the line.

    winnie 3500+ @ 2.55 GHz stable

    Thats not a bad overclock there, some people are having trouble getting over 2.2 now. You voltage is relatively low but if its anything like mine you aren't going to get much more out of it with more volts.

    Overvolting AGP

    I never really thought about this before but is there a benefit to overvolting AGP? Does it help overclocking? Is there much risk involved?

    I don't intend to be rude but if you cant figure out any of this after reading an overclocking guide then I don't know that you should be overclocking.

    Venice 3200 @ 2.8ghz, too be good to be true?

    I might have to stop looking at forums for a while or the urge to splurge might become to great.

    Would o/cing a CPU make games quite a bit faster?

    You'll see a difference but for gaming you'll get more results out of overclocking your GPU in most cases.
