I put them back to normal.. Still stable so far.. playing NFS pro street.. (damn smoooth) lol.... Hoping it wont bsod suddently...
is 20% Oc consider mild OC?.. how is moderate?.. 50%
how much will mild oc reduce the life span, 1/5 of its life?.

if u run ur proc at 500x8 then that one can consider high OC lo

but no one really knows how fast it will kill ur proc...just keep ur cpu core temp under 65c if u wana extend its life....n always test for stability after some time to see if it still can be stable on the same setting... if it cant, then probably its a sign... but make sure ur original settings is really really stable ones first....stress at least for 12 hours....

Last night the comp hangged while torrenting, blend stressing(torrent already ate 50% usage).. =.= have to pump up the voltage.. tonight stress again see what happens...hope this gigabyte wont fail me.. lol..

hmm....u might as well check if its ur ram that causes the instability

but i havent tweak the ram.. lol..

what is the latest bios? F??

f2.. f3 is beta...

God... my v dimm 1.9v... eventhough i turn it back to normal... how?..

use the easytune5 pro ba.... shud be able to put it at 1.8v...then u just have to click the "save" button

hye there

after oc my e2140 i from 200 --->266
no display dring post
but i can hear windows login sound
any number above 200 will make this
thing happen

all setup confirm can do 3.2 ghz b4
i send the mobo for warranty
after get it back any OC = No display but can enter windows
i even can play song but no display

mobp is p965s3

Do you still get the problem if you put everything back at stock?

Maybe windows/graphic driver is corrupted?

Some people gets stability by increasing the PCI-E frequency slightly... i.e. 101mhz or 105mhz.... etc. Not recommended to go above 120mhz.....

Some get stability by increasing the PCI-E voltage....

Tweak around and see what happens.... I never touch those settings though (hence, no experience actually), afraid of mobo kaput....

Hi Boys

Just started doing OC

Default Configuration as follows:

Pentium D 2.66 Smithfield
Gigabyte 8i945P-G
Default intel HSF

Overclocking method: Used the guide on this forum + only increased the FSB to 150. Results from internet show I can go as far as 195 without increasy any voltage.

So yeah voltage is still default

Below is the output



So previously i can only play COD in 640 * 480 using 7300 GT. After Oc'ing can go upto 1024

Going to get the Vendetta II today and will share with u lot if can go higher!!!

One thing...the info on the threads in here were so useful seriously

processor: Pentium D 2.0Ghz
MB: Asus P5GC-MX

possible to overclock it to 2.4GHz ? do i need water cooling for that increase?

Please help.. thx

P/s: Can anyone give tutorial about basic Pentium D OC? or show me where to find it ?

Bro.. use easytune5 pro only can change the voltage when inside window.. at bios or whenevery not running it will change back to 1.9.. =.=
aihz... so have to flash the bios?... beta version ok anot a?...
scare later burn my value ram..

I suggest you read the guide in this forum on how to OC, it helps a lot. For example, kcy3ssm. His previous post mention it.
Don't be lazy to lure around to find it.

And for your question, OC is subjective. You can reach the speed to 2.4GHz with some tweak, and water cooling is not necessary unless you are into extreme.

@fishy21

Just 20% OC from stock.. Probably ur stock HSF will be enough. But if u need extra secure, change to a 3rd party cooler.

Guide are always the best way to start ur OC journey.

2.4 i think should be no problem..no need water cooling lar.. and to learn OC, u really hav to do some research and reading online...there are so many article out there ..

happy learning ~~

hmm...i guess if u are running everything fine then bios flashing is not really a need la...it is not guaranteed they let u adjust ur volatage to 1.8v on new bios also.... 1.9v is still considered safe though,dont think it can burn ur ram.... just dont go over 2.1v for 24/7 setup lo....

btw, u shud go read what improvement is on the new bios if u are ever gonna flash it to make sure if its worth the flashing.... cos flashing is kinda a risky thing... can silap hari bulan
