How fast is safe?

[Drw714]

I live in the US and I should definietly
be in bed (Hic!), but I just got this new machine
and was wondering if anyone knows just how fast
it is safe to go with a Tbird 1.2ghz ...

I was running the VIA hardware monitor and
didn't want it to go over 50 Celsius..

Here are my specs:

Abit KG7 Motherboard
Tbird 1.2
9x @ 150 FSB (1350ghz)
DDR 2100 ram

Flounder seemed to be THE MAN!
So I thought I would jump on you
guy's thread...

Any Help would be appreciated.

Thx.....

HI,

Sometimes it helps to keep on the topic of the thread. The answer to this question is better found in the AMD area, so I split this out of the other thread and moved the question here. I hope you get your answer.

Cheers!

It's not so much how fast is safe but how hot and how high your voltages are. Push the chip as fast as you can as long as you keep these two things reasonable. Below 50c is a good goal but I try for atleast below 45. I know this is hard to do with extreme oc'ing with air and not necessary but it's just my preference. Voltages you probably shouldn't increase more than 15% to play it safe. 20% is kinda high but possible. Anything over and your risking it. BTW WELCOME TO THE FORUM! New people are what keep this place alive.

You've just answered your own question!

Welcome to the forum. We listen to everybody (even the mods!)

You can push it 'till it gets

a: Too hot

B: Won't boot.

In case #1, you can get better cooling (better HSF etc)

or #2, back off a few MHz.
