Overclocking P4s

[imported_goku]

I have a POLO 735 (Volcano12) with a P4 2.8C with an Abit IC7-G. I was wondering how much could I crank up the voltage with out frying it? Like a Range between 1.525 and 1.9. Like whats pretty much my maximum.

Just go into BIOS and change the Vcore "CPU Voltage". The default is 1.525v, but you can safely go to around 1.65-1.70v, just monitor your voltages with MBM5 and make sure your board isnt over-volting. I have a 2.8C and an IC7 and I run mine @ 1.65v which MBM5 reports @ 1.60-1.62v.

Just watch your temps, with more vcore comes more heat. A 2.8 will usually max out around 3.5 from what I have seen. I think at 1.65 you should be able to hit it.

P4's dont like voltage over 1.65. So if you go higher be careful
