Hi everybody,
I recently bought an Asus P4B533-V mobo (i845G) with a
Pentium 4 1.8A Box version. I've also a Samsung stick 256 Mb
DDR 2100 and I will buy a GeForce 4 Ti later. I intend to keep
my hardware for probably 2 years or more and I'm interested by
the overclocking.
I can read many Tips and tricks which tell it's possible to increase
the frequency of the P4 1.8A and the FSB. e.g: Something like 1.8
to approx. 2.26Ghz with an FSB at 533Mhz. Lots of users seem to
have made this test and so to obtain interesting scores of speed...
I checked the core of my processor: It's a SL63X which could be
overclocked too. But, what is the REAL stability and life durability
of an overclocked system? I must say that if I take the decision
to overclock my processor this will be for all the rest of the time.
I will run all softwares with the overclocked state. That's why, to
avoid making a bad parameter setting of my machine, I prefer to
ask to users who could testify of this sort of experience.
So, if you have a good experience with overcloked P4, your
answers are welllllcome!! (many thanks in advance! :))
Here are my questions. Sorry if they can seem a little bit IDIOT,
but I want to know...
In case of an overclocked from 1.8 to 2.26Ghz,
- What could be really the cruise temperature of my processor
after, e.g, 8 hours of intensive use with AutoCAD or games?
- Do you think this temperature could be comparable to a true
P4 2.26 for the same use? or more?
- Is it necessary to replace the original Intel fan by an other?
(Cruise temperature of my 1.8Ghz processor is 37°C (98.6°F)
with open case and 30°C for the room)
- According to your experience, do you have encountered any
system freezes while you play games or softwares using a lot
of processor ressources? (Freezes which we could not impute
to drivres problems)
- Do you think that there is a risk of breakdown on the long term:
For the processor? For the mobo? mad:
- Imagine that, finally, the system works correctly (yep!). Then,
do you think that the overclocked processor could have a life
cycle comparable to the one who is foreseen for 1.8Ghz?
( It's the BIG question! :eek: )
