Successful Overclock Speed

[Ghost [PX]]

So I finally got around to OCing my system to its capacity.

I now have it running at a stable 2.5Ghz

Not too shabby if I do say so myself.

Now I just need more and better Ram. I tell yah though, it sure makes Doom3 run purdy and smooth.

That's a pretty sweet overclock. You should submit it to the Overclockers database.

I might in a few months. Lets see how long it runs before screwing me over somehow

Its been running for days and averages at about 45-48 degrees Celcius and lower when idling.


Im not sure about when its under load. We are lacking internet so I cant download any programs to check

[THE JEW (RaVeN)]

I would find out what it is under load. Anything above 55 degrees Celsius would get my knickers in a bunch.

My old Athlon would frequently run upwards of 60 Degrees under load and it never had any issues.

Although I would like to find out what kind of temps were looking at.

Personally I like to see them around the 30-35 degrees range

Personally, Im just glad to see a massive overclock such as this working perfectly.

[[Fallen]Thumperup]

Well absolutly

If it's working great for you Game on

As a sad side note, the overclock works fine, but my cheap powersupply apparently couldnt handle the demands. It died on Friday night. I checked with a housemates PS though, all other components are still working perfectly.

Time to buy a decent Power Supply

*sigh*

What did ya overclock from?

Stock speed for an Athlon XP-M 2500+ I believe is 1.8GHZ
Correct me if Im wrong though.

Close enough.



Ask Homey B for a copy of the PM I sent him in response to your power supply situation.
