Overclocking

I overclocked a Pentium III-450 and a Duron 600 to see what all they would do, then realized that about the last thing I need to be doing is overclocking my machine. Expensive habit with little to gain out of the whole thing.

so if you can OC the chip to 5ghz on air and it'd last a week, would you do it?
 
highest?

percentage wise or just speed?

celly 300 @ 450

celly 633 @ 950

XP 1600+ @ 2100+ (1.74ghz)

and now... NC 3200+ A64 @ 2.73 ghz 😛
 
see rig below.....runbs perfectly stable no problem, i got it up to 3.2 and it posted fine but it would not run sandra or 3dmark....
 
Had a Celeron 566 @ 952 the week the FC Celerons were released.

Haven't done a whole lot since then, nothing in that percentage range.

I guess mine is still going. I ran it @3.6 at 1.575V for a few months and sold it to another forum member after I got bored with PCs.
 
overclocking is safe and is a good thing IF AND ONLY IF you overclock PROPERLY and know what you are doing. take it easy, raise voltages and stuff carefully, not haphazardly, keep an eye on temps at all times, if the system is unstable ,clock it down. if done right, oc'd hardware should have the same failure rate as non oc'd hardware
