I've been searching the web about the long term effects of overclocking and what I found is that your hardware (proc/ram/psu/mobo) is prone to shorten the life span depending on luck.
I got a spare lanparty mobo so I was wondering if you guys ever destroyed your hardware from overclocking before I start tweaking it. Please share your experience so members can take as precaution.

Yeah I've heard about dying caps. Is it the result of over voltage? I mean if we over clock at stock voltages is it the same as it running at stock speeds / voltage? (in controlled temperature)

Agreed. Got a nexxxos alphacool waterblock lock and loaded. Done some mild overclocking before for a short moment as PSU is chapalang.
280 x 9 = 2520MHz. The wierd part is the temp didnt even budge from the stock settings. Quite amazed with athlon 64.

QUOTE(almostthere @ Jul 18 2006, 12:25 PM) Every 6 months there's always a topic similiar like this. If you're afraid to overclock, then just don't and instead experiment in finding the best bandwidth by fiddling with the miscellanous RAM timings if you're on A64. Read jcheong's reply. If its been the same topic every 6 month then why don't somebody please stickify this topic. |
