LOL ok so its not soo much a *HELP ME* *HELP ME*, more a "Whats your opinion" question.
Umm around last week I made a post about OC settings, and got some good repsonses and I thank all those who helped me again. One member also suggested to post my system specs, to assist in the process of trouble shooting, which I am happy to say, I will provide in this post.
I currently have upgraded my whole PC, EXCEPT FOR, the CPU. I am still running my original 1.5ghz P4 that I got a while ago with the system. And since I spent most of my cash money for now on other upgrades, I am going to try and stay with my ol' 1.5 and see If I cant squeeze some more juice out of it.
So my question is, what is your guys's likely opinions on max OC cpu speeds can I shoot for based on this system configuration;
- RAIDMAX 'Scorpio' PC Case
- EverCool WC-201 AGP/CPU Water Cooling unit
- Artic Silver heat sink paste
- MSI 845E Max mobo
- 1.0 GB PC3200 DDR "ShikaRAM" memory
- Intel Pentium 4 CPU 1500mhz
- ATI Radeon 9600 128mb
- Maxtor 80GB HDD
- LG 4x 4040B DVD-Writer
- DVDROM 10x
- C-Media CMI8738 Audio Card
- Linksys NC100 Ethernet card
- Windows XP Pro (Service Pack 2)
(Also 3 system fans, one side wall mounted, out two on the rear of the case)
Some also told me to post as much info I could find out about my CPU in general. So I booted up the newest version of "Aida32" and this is what I got;
CPU Type: Intel P4, 1500Mhz (3.75x400)
CPU Alias: P68, Willamette, A80528
CPU Stepping: C1
Orig. Clock Speed: 1500Mhz
L1 Trace Cache: 12k instructions
L1 Cache: 8 kb
L2 Cache: 256 kb (in-die, ATE, Full-Speed)
So yah, all I know that under my old system set up, 512MB ram no water cooler and a Nvidia TNTmodel 64 32mb card, I could stabily run at 1.8 Ghz. I didnt want to try for any more. But since I've upgraded considerablly over the week, I'm assuming/hoping I'll be able to pull the speed up.
So yah, what should I look at for a setting a MAX goal I suppose?
I appreciate ANY help, and give thanx here in advance.
BTW: Mobo BIOS is up to date from MSI)
