Does overclocking with default vcore will degrade/reduce lifespan of the proc? assume that temp are nice and cool..

There's another question, if a proc's rated FSB is 266, clock is 2.4ghz. If i up the FSB to 400 x 6 as in 2.4ghz with default vcore... so that i can do a 1:1 FSB : DRAM, Will this also degrade/reduce lifespan of the proc?

Thanks.

paiseh , can i ask ? how to oc ?

im using p4 2.8
how to check my ram timing ?
im using 256mb 5500 nvidia graphic card

what should i check ? what should i download to check ?
and what should i do to oc ?

please

learn from bottom - top
here link for you Ahping : Fundamentals of overclocking

did urs ram need that voltage??i'm using same ram and capacity as u but just set it to 2.1v in bios...ram timing 5-5-5-18 1:1 ratio fsb 475..stress with linx 10x passed..look at the ram timing screenshot..hope that will help u..

Im using Intel C2Q extreme QX6800 and I heard ppl saying OC to high speed hard and things..My CPU stock is 2.93ghz(266x11). I know nothing about OC so I jz changed my fsb from 266 to 270 and multiplier from 11 to 13 with the asus mobo utility and my clock speed became 3.5Ghz and the process cost me like may be 1 minute? And my multiplier can go up to 30 u know. I couldn't believe OC was this easy and i knew that definately something is wrong rite? So all u sifu here enlighten me?

tq

what is the thing that u dont understand about OC ya? mind to be more specific?

seriously can go till 30x BuBu?
then let say 200x30 = 6000GHz? wow

can i kno wats de proper ram multiplier i should put??is it ok if i put 2?

If u put 2 its consider 1:1 setting for your ram n by the setting of 270 definately no problem for your ram but i am worry for your proc becos it might not go so high with multiplier of 13

i put my proc multiplier at 9 n my fsb at 378 so de ram multiplier still ok?

Your example of calculation is wrong, it should be 6000mhz or just 6 ghz instead of 6000ghz.

Nothing's wrong also.... Good to hear that u can get 3.5GHz easily... Now try to get to 4GHz and above and u will eventually understand why OCing is hard....

eh,my bad.. should be mhz , yeah u right..
but is it possible? something wrong is it?

hye...is this the right place to ask?
i have some problem with my system...u c my proc stock clock for E6300 is 1.86ghz(266mhz x 7) something...then i oc'ed to only 2.1ghz(300mhz x 7).system was stable only for 2 hours..some time its freezes suddenly...after 2 hours oc'ed.then it start to reboot itself more frequently..actually what is my problem?
by the way i increase Vdimm to 2.0V because im using high performance ram like in my signature..is that the right thing to do?
anyone have any suggestion?
now im using proc stock speed.psu powerlogic magnum 5 450w...

How stable is your 4ghz? 3DMark and Games running well?

guys i need help oc my rams and cpu can anyone help?
i want to clock my system to max without adding power to ram or cpu.
cause i runing my pc 24-7 - 360 days.


cpu : Intel C2D E8400
ram :G.Skill F2-8000CL5D- 4GBPQ
mobo: Gigabyte P35 DS3 RUNNING F14C firmware (latest firmware)
cpu cooler: thermalright ultra - 120 with 2000rpm CM fan
psu: coolermaster real power pro 650w 80 plus ready


thanks to advance guys !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These are default settings

CPU clock ratio : xx
CPU Host clock control: enable/disable
CPU host frequency: 266-xxx
PCI Express frequency: auto
C.I.A 2 :disable

system memory multiplier : auto

high speed DRAM DKK setting: Option 1
system voltage control : auto
ddr2 overvoltage control : normal
pci-e overvoltage control : normal
fsb overvoltage control : normal

normal cpu vcore: xx

why not try 400x8@9? i use it. going to push it to the max later. hehe.
someone told me that hisher fsb is better. (that's what i been told, i use higher multiplier than fsb before)

hyelo guys..hv Q here..
is it safe to set FSB high and lower down processor multiplier??..
now, i am curently running on stock HSF, think wanna find higest FSB first..

higher fsb strains more on ur mobo than processor... this is a good way of finding ur fsb wall, and yes, high fsb with lower multiplier is better than high multiplier with lower fsb... dats bcos ure making the mobo, and ram run at a higher speed... one of the mobo that has the highest fsb wall is biostar tpower i45.... easily 600fsb, world record is 700fsb

not really la..... those 600fsb are kinda hard to get actually if u are talking about running on air

and p45 is kinda a tough chipset to play around ... tweak until u sienz
