Hey everyone, i just got a new setup.. i was living in the dark ages with my old setup (jetway mobo, gForce2 64MB).. it's great to finally get a good board....
Ok, im not really into this OverClocking thing since i really dont know much about it, but the reason i got into this is because, wehn i first got this setup running, it was OC'd by default!!!
I dunno how this happened but, it was.. i got
MSI Mobo 865PE NEo2 Platinum Edition
Intel P4 2.40A GHZ Prescott
GeCube Radeon 9550XT Platinum Edition
2x Geil PC3200 256MB DDR400 RAM
Now, i saw some articles over the internet that this 2.40A Processor was a sweet overclocker. I would like to try it out too... specially since odly, when i first booted my PC after setup and everything, the Processer was OC @ 2.8GHZ by default... it gave me 11367 points @ 3DMark2001Se benchmark!!! It was awsome
Anyways, my motherboard came with this little application called CoreCenter which allows me to tweak my processor's settings like my:
FSB (default @ 133mhz)
Vcore 1.4000 V
Memory Voltage 2.60v
AGP Voltage 1.50v
So.. what do you guys think about my setup?? How far can i pump this thing up? As i said, it was @ 2.8GhZ on first setup.. i had great benchmark and my games were sooooper!!! However, it suddenly went back to 2.4 after a while (no errors).. Now when i try to bring it up to 2.8, it crashes..
