While I am no stranger to overclocking my Voodoo3 2000, I am new to the Realms of overclocking my CPU. Here is my question:
I noticed in SciSoft Sandra Pro, that my model on my AMD Tbird 1.2G was stated as a 1.33g ( it is running at 1.2g though). My CPU temp at this moment is 34.4 degrees. I have a big heatsink and fan on cpu, a 80mm fan on the back of the case in standard area of where the case was fitted for one blowing out. I also have plexiglass side with a 80mm fan at the top blowing out. On a hot day playing Unreal Tournament in 1280x1024 16bit all detail, my cpu gets up to about 120f (forgot what the celsius was sorry). Would I be able to safely overclock this to 1.33 without having to add more fans or a different heatsink? i realize most overclocking is a trial and error, I just wanted an estimate if I would have to upgrade to better hs/fan or if it would be safe to OC with the present configuration. I know "safe" is an approximation. Any opinions are welcome.
