View Full Version : Intel pentium 3 800Mhz | ASUS CUV 4X-C Jumperfree PC133/VC133 AGP 4X Motherboard
well these are my specs and i wanna overclock it, can someone please give me the exact steps that i need to do.
I dont wanna overheat my pc like the last time.

Take a look at the Tips section on the Front page, that will outline your steps. Also take a look in the CPU database to get a realistic goal OC for that 800.
i read all sort of things but i want someone to really explain it to me, somebody with experience.

To be honest with you it would take two days of typing to explain it all to you. Especially seeing I don't know squat about your motherboard. But it is jumperless. So everything that you do will be in the bios.
I'm not not giving you the answers because I'm a jerk. I'm not giving you the answer because there are too many to list. There are many factors to remember when it comes to overclocking. Heatsinks, bus speeds (Front side, PCI, memory) memory quality, chip quality, temps. air flow. It's a virtual crapshoot when it comes to overclocking.
I wanted you to read the tips because it will give you a good base knowledge in overclocking. And looking at your signature, you need to start slow. Fire is not a good result on your first OC.
Post up the specs of your system. Not the ones that are already there, but the oddball ones like:
1. Heatsink type.
2. Memory type, manufacturer, CAS and speed.
3. Case specs, manufacturer and model # if you know....
I would say not to jump into this, but I think you learned that the hardway on your first attempt. Take it slow. Up the FSB a little at a time and check stability. Then push it a little more, tweak your memory little by little. Get some of the stability tests out there. Prime95, Sisoft Sandra, get WCPUID, and programs of the like to test stability and system accuracy. The big thing right now, I'm willing to bet is your heatsink.
ok, the heatsink is the cooler on my cpu, this is standard, tell me if i need to buy another one.
The first thing i wanna do is cool down my pc really good befor i jump into the overclocking, so i need some excellent affordable tips.

What kind and size case do you have? And yes, get a new heatsink. Check out the cooling links on the front page and go shopping.
I have a full tower the biggest that i could get the tower is from AOpen, full tower.
And i have rerouted my wires so the air can room free in my case the wires are out the way.
A heatsink can someone tell me what a good heatsink would be for an p ||| 800 Mhz (hopefully soon 1000 Mhz)

we need to know what form your CPU is in to reccomend heatsinks to you, is it slot 1, FCPGA, or Socket 370?
Its a socket 370, so what heatsink do i need?

I would say a Global-Win FOP-32. But the SA-6 and the Glaciator are the big dogs at the present time. One of these would be more than enough. I run my 800's at 1002 on FOP-32's. If your room is cool and your case has enough flow FOP-32 will work. But I would get something better just to be on the safe side.
Whats up with this termal grease???
And installing a heatsink i think its very hard.

you have the easyest overclocking setup, you can overclock, thermal grease or paste or compound is what you put in between the heatsink and procesor to increase heat transfer, it is very cheap
I hope soo, here is my new heatsink that i buyed

you need acrobat reader to see it, and please i hope it is a good one.
The link doesnt work just go to the link i posted in the beginning and then go to socket 370 coolers and their you pick the last one

I would say no. This is a low profile heatsink, and comes with a tiny fan. You're going to want to push more than this if you want to break a Gig. And for the price of this HSF you can get a FOP-38 that will probably outperform this heatsink even though this heatsink is copper. There just isn't enough surface area in these low profile heatsinks to make overclocking a reality. These low pro heatsinks are performance heatsinks designed for rack mount server cases.
Get something new, big, and has at least a 32CFM 60mm fan on it. They use newer technology, have more surface area, and put out alot more CFM to help cool an overclocked CPU.
Now, I am going to reiterate. GO READ THE TIPS! You have had to ask what thermal grease is, and you have picked out a poor heatsink. That tells me that you haven't read the tips. Sure, we can sit here and tell you every component to buy, how to set up your machine, tell you how to overclock, but in the long run what have you achieved? Nothing. We overclocked your machine, not you. I don't want to sound mean because I'm not trying to be. But you need to have a base knowledge in what you are trying to do, or your going to fry another computer. Sure, we can guide you through. Nobody here minds helping someone, that is why we are here. But, on the same token, you also need to help yourself. I don't want to help someone that isn't going to take the time to learn the trade at hand. And if you don't learn it you are going to run into trouble.
Do you know how to monitor your temps?
Do you know how to look for instability?
Do you know what programs to use to check for stability?
These are things that you are going to run into later in this project, and take temps for instance. If you don't know what temp is too high, waiting for someone to answer your "Is my system too hot?" post in the future, it might already be too late.
The first overclocker didn't just wake up one day and say, "let's try this". I'm sure he had a pretty good base knowledge in what he was doing. He had to. He had to understand what the Front Side Bus did, and the multiplier did, and how changing these affected the frequency of the CPU. Sure, they didn't have multiplier back then, but you get my drift.
If you don't have that base knowledge you are going to run into problems that could destroy your machine.
