Oh,thanks for the feedback.As i'm not experience with the SATA HDD usage before,so i'm a bit confuse with that since has member asked about it.I'm doubt.

glad to know that oc when damage the sata hdd, coz im using sata hdd as my main drive,

AFAIK, the problem for OCing too high will be your Windows corrupted only, thats all for HDD

Hard drives damages are more related to the +12V supplied by your PSU or probably you got a lemon HDD to begin with

Oh,like that this is related to the PSU already.Depends on the PSU and see can provide stable voltage to HDD or not.

thx for clearing my doubt

Wow.. Just back from tight working schedule! Hm.. SATA HDD having problems with OC @ at high speed? That i ever heard before but not sure will the same thing happen to old school's like us! Nvm.. Will test it out when i got my new WD 250G SATAII on hand and give some feed back according to this issue! Will gona use this HDD as my primary drive.

Btw, i found that my current ram can been stress under 250mhz speed with loosen timing without any problem. Tested with MemTest Pro edition and stress the ram for more then 6hrs.. But procs will become voltage hunger after go beyond 3.7Ghz. Tested with up my vcore 1.535v vcore then i can prime peacefully @ FSB1000 which is 3.75Ghz. By then my NB hit danger line.. Reached 48'c during priming..

By then.. Tested all this in 1:1 ratio.. For sure i dont want to lost my memory bandwidth by lower down the ratio and hit speed!

come on fylon...test with 3.75Ghz on the video

I'm having the same 'voltage hunger' problem like you. Running at 250FSB needs a lot of voltage, about 1.45v for me, and it certainly isn't good when the heat shoots up to 70C. I think it's my cooling and PSU causing the overclocking block, with only 350W to its name

You are still running on stock Intel HSF?

@flyon
getting at 3.75GHz you should get a better fps running that movie.

@colinwong89
you really need a better hfs, its not healthy having that high temp for long run.

Both of you can run at 3.75GHz? Haha fylon, everyone is aiming you to run on the video play back.

Haha.. Guys have a bad news to u all.. Guess gona disappointed u all.. My rigs now is hospitalized. Last night while gaming half way suddenly exploded. Guess is the PSU unit dead. I saw some "bunga api" lighten up and got some smell comming out from the casing.

Haiz.. Havent got time to do investigating for it yet. Hopefully the mobo and procs dont dead. Else i gota migrate.

wahh..very2 bad news .. sorry to hear that .. hope all ur hardware inside will be ok ...

Yea.. Hopefully other hardware still working fine. Before it goes hospitalized, i had noticed that the +12v wasnt stable already. On idle it goes around 11.8xv lidat. I just thought wanna change a PSU and it goes dead. F**k..

maybe that 350W can't cope with ur oc job .. anyway...the psu has serve u for how long?

Wao,PSU exploded.If you mobo died,it's wasted man.Hehe,when are you going to get your new PSU ?

Haha.. Im using 450Watt thou. Hm.. I not sure whats the condition at the moment. It happen last night 1am something lidat. Lazy wanna go take off and do investigate. Yea.. If mobo dead then no deal already.. Gota migrate lo..

Wao...migrate man....shinjite also planning to migrate soon i think...Hopefully only the PSU kong la...

Haha... Me not soon wo.. Is gonna be. Haha.. Dont yet.. Havent check the hospitalized rigs. Haiz.. Still thought can save up abit to grab a better GC but who knows dead in a sudden. Really "soi" lo..

woa man, bad luck of u to get ur psu burn
luckily i check todays post coz i just oc my mobo to 3.3Ghz, i also scare later the same thing happen to me
i'll post my cpu-z 2nite coz i cant do it nw, my hostel LAN block the imageshack
btw i oc through the bios, so when i check my cpu-z it shows that my fsb:dram is 5:4, how can i change this ratio?
then my timing is 2.5-4-4-8, how to change dis also?
