pentium D will run very hot, better get a good cooler first.
and what psu are you using?

atm using cap ayam psu,need to know what item i need to get before i start oc.

i suggest get a good cpu cooler before overclock.
and change psu. get a better psu to provide stable voltage and current when psu is on load.

any suggestion what cooler and psu i should get? and since this pc use old skol casing,do i need good casing?i just want oc below 3.8ghz .

about cpu cooler, the cooler master hyper 212+ should be good.

about psu, you can consider the used cooler master real power pro 550w here, its cheap.

about the casing, if you don't want to change, you have to modify abit,
since old skol casing has bad air flow.
so you find the way to let it has good air flow.

ty for the suggestion bro,now i have budget in my mind,ty again

if you have higher budget, you can always go for better stuffs.

haha that for sure.

actually my suggestion is for reference only.
in the same budget, still can get other stuffs.

Trade for pentium 4 or better yet AMD. THEN you start overcloak.

another pentium D user here. would like to OC for better performance. same case here stock cooler cap ayam psu and even old casing. LOL

is it a right move to OC it?

haha, you can try, make sure it is stable overclock and temperature don't exceed the limit.
but old motherboard usually don't have heatsink on the mosfet of the voltage regulator circuit,
so it is not meant for overclock.
and cap ayam psu have higher noise, don't know will cause stability issue or not when overclock.

what is that? hmmm before that i think i should get a better cooler/hsf and casing.

you can refer here:

old school mobo kindda hard to stand the over volt and heat when OC.
2 things will eventually die, the mobo and the PSU.
it's my experience

I will advice TS not to OC Netburst architecture, slight performance gain with a lot of heat...
