No software can measure the temperature if there is no hardware/external sensor temperatures via optional probes installed. Some motherboards either do not show exact figures or do not support RAM temperature monitoring at all. So,we make use of lay a hand on technique most of the time and formulate educated estimation about it. Btw, before touching the RAM please make sure to ground yourself first as to avoid static charge. 

Ya, since they put Prime95 on stability download links.. why dont give some guide on how to use it. I know its easy, execute n run, but for p4 users is slightly different. need to set the CPU 0 - 1 (Thanks to PeowYong) or else i still running 1 prime and feel i happy safe with 50%cpu resource running.

SOrry if i posting at wrong place. Since its an easy Q for pro OC to answer with. No need create new threat.

The Basic Input-Output System (BIOS) is an essential set of routines in a PC, which is stored on a chip on the motherboard. It acts as an intermediary between a computer's hardware and its operating system. Without the BIOS, the PC's operating system would have no way to communicate with, or take control of, the hardware.

In other words, the BIOS is a crucial component of any computer. If its options are set incorrectly, the BIOS could slow your computer down by as much as 40%. Unfortunately, as new processors and motherboard chipsets are released, BIOS options continue to get even more confusing. As a result, many seasoned technicians are still baffled by the jargon-laced and confusing options available in a modern computer's BIOS setup program.

i intend to use this software on my new NF4 mobo (Asus? DFI? MSI?) next month when i buy it.

but this software dosen't work very well on my current Abit NF2 mobo. It gives me blue screens after i OC about 10%. (edit: is it due to my hardware?)

Is there any way to increase the overclockability of this software? I understand that Abit guru performs much better. I wanna do software OC coz then i can OC only when i need it, and also dun need to reboot. Takes less time too. I dun mind the fluctuation in speed or the spread spectrum, with enough cooling it should be good. 

The ClockGen serie consists in a set of overclocking software that allow to change the clock of some of your system devices on-the-fly : CPU, memory, AGP, PCI Express, PCI. Each of these software is dedicated to one or several motherboards.

I dun mind the fluctuation in speed or the spread spectrum, with enough cooling it should be good.

When I OC my system, anything more then 210MHz external clock (840FSB) and In 3DMark03 CPU test benchmark, artifect are everywhere.....only that benchmark, normal 3D benchmark, application all runs well. CPU stress test also didn't crash, running for few hours, CPU temp max about 50c, mobo temp max 45c

Anyone knows where the problem lies?

thanks everybody that contributed their time and effort to help...i've solved the problem via tweak865. the downside of this software is you have to manually change the value from 00 to 01 everytime botting into the window, but i've found another way to remove that pain step. i dunno whether this method has been adopted and published in the forum or not yet but here it goes:

step 1:
after unzipped the software to the desired directory,change the dram latency parameter from value 00 to 01, click apply and save the setting.you will be prompted to save the setting in a notepad format.

step2:
create the shortcut for the execution file name tweak865.exe and move it to c:\documents and settings\"USER NAME"\start menu\programs\startup.

step 3:
right click the shortcut and click on the properties. you'll noticed the "target" directory of the origin tweak865.exe location in your hard drive. after the target directory ends, press space bar and then add in this phrase ( -file=tw865.txt )excluding the bracket. for example: "c:\program files\tweak865\tw865.exe" -file=tw865.txt and press ok

step 4:
to check that you have successfully add the program to startup, press start, all programs, startup, shortcut to tw865. if the shortcut exist there, it should be no problem anymore.

step 5:
restart your computer, the next time you boot into windows again, the tweak865.exe should be in the msconfig under startup tab.

and there you go, the problem should be solved. say bye bye to tearing effect. forgive me if my explanation is not good enough, i could've use some photos to show you as it will be more easier to understand as the old saying goes: a picture can represents a thousand words but sadly i dun have any webcam or digicam. hope this helps to those who are still suffering from this problem.

ClockGen anyone?

Oh, btw in reply to this,
Pls bear in mind that good cooling is not enough, RAM settings? PCI lock? Dividers? I will not recommend software overclocking anyday anytime. Your system is not stable most of the time.  Furthermore there are too much tweaks you missed by using software overclocking utility.

i just run the memtest86  i boot it from my A drive, buy half way my pc restarts.... over and over again without finishing the test...
is my RAM damaged or is it part of the test??

wanna ask y i run 2 sp2004 test at the same time but the cpu resource oso show 50%?

since ur procs got HT tech.. assign each app for each core..
