if u use table fan to cool ur PC then no need once per week coz it dun get dusty so fast

and table fan provides much better cooling. but mind the noise

wad will happen if i OC my rig (long term) wif chapalang PSU(dunoe wad cheap "fortune" branded chapalang PSU)??
currently i OC my barton 2500+ @ 3200+ no problem for now

So far up till now my 2.4B to 3.24Ghz no problems
Using Antec Truepower 430W v2

your PSU can blow and might take along ur rig with it.

had my own little experience..

wah
now i being worry...
how abt gc n ram
also the same??
i do add voltage n OC my gcn ram

Electromigration sayang is the key word in this topic for Processors.

Capacitors suffer from Dielectric degradation, slippage, contamination and cummulative ESR effects as the voltage gets bumped up.

Traces can burn out due to overcurrent (bridge wire principle), but generally heat degrades components by allowing materials to react faster with other materials, oxidization is good example and such.

But generally there's nothing to be afraid off once you stave off the short term problems like explosive loads and heat since most semi conductors are made to withstand decades of use.

i clock my 5900xt(winfast) mem 900mhz.
after 1 year the GC just die.send to RMA.
get back from RMA ,then never dare clock again.

i juz oc my clockspeed without adding vcore, does it affects a lot in long term?? ya, dun oc too high, my ram a are running slower clockspeed compare to last time it can achieve, nw juz tune the timings, on default vdimm and clock...

So,are there any proof,running an overclocked processor with good cooling and PSU effects hardwares etc?

i dont think u will be that hardworking 4 dat purpose btw i think table fan wat better for suppling a good air flow lah~ bigger fan didn't required a high speed fan blade..since it diameter already wide..

for ur proc..that different ..a high speed fan with high cfm is required cheers

high vcore with low temperature also can kill ur procsessor

me! my ati x700, stable OC-ed run 3dmark03, 05, and ati tools all stable, but then 'KONG' edi! LOL

Idle/load temp?

juz my suggestion..why not create a threat juz regarding the finest oc setup~

so there will be no more hassle on oc got problem2 bla2..since we got our own database on who's already oc their rig..n performing well

A discussion thread is a must since i don't see any prrof that overclocked setup with good cooling will die or kill your hardwares.

Interesting... so how long did it take to 'kong'?

can't remember already quite long ago

less than 3 weeks

wahh..3 weeks kah..if 3 month or 1 year can tell it that the setup pretty stable~ somehow i what can i say is.. oc does give effect..so oc on ur risk

n00b here
erk..wat bout my case..
oc a bit high without increase the voltage.. izzit the same meh?

Even yoo don't know the temp.So how you know that your GPU died due to OC?
