Do you leave you CPU overclocked all the time??

[trodas]

AMD mobile 2600+ running at 2400Mhz with only 1.625Vcore, so for my badly done fanless watercooling is this just fine.
When I fix it, it will go to 225x12 - 2700Mhz witch give PR 3800+

Other that that, all my CPUs I was running all the time overclocked to their max stable speeds w/o troubles. People who says about killing these CPUs with overclock and overvoltage need little more knowledge about physic in the CPU, Im affraid

Yes - it stays the same all the time - overclocked. Who said anything about max o'clock? It stays at the setting that provides 100% stability.

Northwood 3.0 @ 3.7 stable for the past 6 months.

Yes but mine is only overclocked 10% so I don't ever have to worry about the thing frying because the voltage is too high.

Would anyone know where do i find a good OC guide for beginners? And also, would my system be good for OC?

Currently running
AMD64 3200 newcastle cpu
ati radeon 9800 pro gfx card
asus k8v se dlx mobo
1gb pc3200 ddr 400 corsair ram

100% of the time.

All my systems are Prime stable at least 48hrs and for normal usage? Never had any problem (occasionally one chip tested during winter would fail in summer time, then I scale back a bit). True for at at least 20 chips in the past 6 years.

Of course, I always have some head room. Most of the sytems can be pushed much higher for a short period of time but I need 100% stability so I no longer pushed them to the limit.

Yea, I only oc'd my Barton2800+ from 2.08 GHz to 2.25 GHz, no vcore increase, so i'm really not expecting a decrease in its life. (Not a very big one anyway)

EDIT: Which is a 7% overclock, correct me if i'm wrong

I'm got an Athlon 64-M 3200+ (1MB cache, 2.0 GHz clock speed) @ 2.3GHz. Can't go more because my mobo won't let me.
