how safe is oc a tbird 1.4 to 1.5

vdubpsu · 05-21-02, 08:12 PM

its only running 1degree ceclius higher at 42c. i have a sk6 heatsink with 80mm fan and side duct.

just curious how safe it is, will it hurt my chip in the long run?

Well, I doubt it will help your chip in the long run, but as long as it is stable you should be fine.

as long as it stays at 42c it will last a long time, dont forget that chips are supposed to last years at around probably 60c (well, I looked at MBM5 on my work machine, a celery, something i am not supposed to, and that is at a steady 63c, and that is due to last for another five years)

My second rig has a T-Bird 1.4 sitting in it running at 1500MHz at a temp of 47c, and this is fine. The easiest way to tell if the overclock is starting to kill the machine (and you will see this happen from the out set of the overclock) is by a lot of crashing, if its stable, then it will last until you decide to upgrade anyway, and it will still keep going!

i oced my 1.4 to 1.7 Once wiht no problems. Although i was using a pelt and watercooling

vdubpsu · 05-21-02, 08:24 PM

what should i be changing... the multiplier or the speed.

o-clock-547 · 05-21-02, 08:29 PM

start off with the multiplier and fsb

o-clock-547 · 05-21-02, 08:30 PM

don't go crazy with the fsb bus though

o-clock-547 · 05-21-02, 08:31 PM

whats your multiplier and fsb at now? vcore?

vdubpsu · 05-21-02, 08:37 PM

stock i ran 10.5x 133fsb to obtain 1.4Ghz
and the core voltage is on auto

i didnt want to crazy so i did a little math and used
11x 136fsb to get 1.5Ghz

o-clock-547 · 05-21-02, 08:45 PM

yah i had it the same as u at stock i set the multiplier to 14 and the fsb to 145 and got 1.74

I'm running my 1.4 TBird @ 1.6, and undervolting the core voltage by 0.025v. It only runs 2c higher than at default voltage. I've heard TBirds sometimes run OK with the core voltages dropped. Less v's = lower temps.
