Hey guys,
I am really new in OC. Actually i starting OC by buying AthlonXP 2500+ due to my interest to emulation. So i apologise if i am asking the silly questions here.
My system is;
AthlonXP 2500 with standart fan comes with the Boxed CPU
Kingston PC3200 512 Mb DDR Ram
Mobo ASUS Asus A7N8X
I have a Fan for cooling the Mobo
As far as i heard from people who are not expert of OC i set my multiplier at 11.5
VCore: 1.80 Volts
FSB 200
Memory frequency is BY SPD
I tested my CPU for 30 mins by doing RAR of 2 gig at the same time DivX movie and emulation
I checked the CPU usage from WinXP it says 100%
CPU heat is 50 C
Mobo is about 35-40 C
Normally system works stable but for example the other day when i was watching a MOV file on Quicktime PC crashed. Then i started thinking about stability because it is very stressful to run a PC like that. Lats time it crashed i lost my 1 Gig of download from the net.
So considering i am not good at OC what do you recommend? What am i doing wrong? What do i need to do or buy (extra cooling?) and what is the right temperature of AMD CPUs?
Thanks a lot in advance
