Overclocking
« on: March 10, 2008, 10:33:04 AM »
Hey,

I've got a intel pentium d805 processor and i've heard that it is a really good one to overclock. is there anyone who can tell me how far i can clock it over without water cooling and what program do i need to manage my cpu usage

umm...

The BIOS and a mobi that supports overclocking maybe? Just keep increasing FSB clock, core clock and core voltage until it won't POST, then clear the CMOS and set it to the last settings it POSTed on, then stress test it with a program for about 8 hours to check it stable, I'd also advise setting the auto shut off to around 70 degrees C so if it gets too up when stress testing it will shut off leaving your components unharmed.

Got that?

Alternative would be to check other people's stats and go a little under them trying to reach them.  Also you need to get the timing on the RAM as well... that comes a little after though

I don't really get how I should overclock. aren't there any vids of it? I'm from the Netherlands so I don't understand the most difficult english words (coming from the netherlands doesn't make me stupid. English just isn't my native language)

Lol nice motherboard. But yeah keep increasing your FSB until you hit some instability, example. BSOD. Then decrease in small increments until your system becomes stable again.
