Do you need help on How To Overclock?? Some answers in here.

[Hawker-rider]

I use Toast for testing load temps, and i use MPeg-1 to 2 encoding which utilizes my processot 100% for about 6 hours.

If i run toast my temps go up from 41C idle to 58C load..... now that's a little high for a stock XP2100+ with vulcano9cu so I got a new Mobo coming that i am going to see how I can make the aircooling better, then i'll jump for watercooling.

if i hear you guys talk about temps..I cringe!!1

P.s. is that a word....cringe??

Thanks

I promote folding too, but, it hardly gives you LOAD temps, Prime 95 too for that matter, they are WEAK! TOAST is how to truly see your load temps, I guarantee you will see 5-10C hotter than the above programs. I have uploaded it to my server for those of you who are brave enough to run it.

*WARNING* Watch your temps!!!

WARNING indeed!!!!!

My cooling solution is at most a crummy stock HSF

after just 30sec of TOAST my PC's CPU hit a record high of 67C - DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE WHAT HIGH TEMPS CAN DO TO YOUR CPU

This is great tho - true loading of my CPU

Ok i DL Folding@home and MTM5 fixed both progs and started testing had it run for about a hour and it went up to 48 C and stayed there whole time... and as soon as i closed F@H temp went down to 43 C so i decided to try even though it was a tight choise.

Result: O/C 1.9 Ghz and did same test again 1 hour later it was still at 48 C and dropped to 43 C as soon as i closed F@H.

you think i could do 2.0 or is it too much? or should i test it a bit more?

cool man, thanks for this info! has really helped me a lot!

before i make a thread about this: i got a abit BE6-II and i got this stick of PC133 sdram lying around, if i put it on my mobo suddenly my memory benchmarks go down the drain, with my current 256mb pc100 i get 600mb/s with sandra 2003 but with the pc133 stick i get 20 or it locks up after 20!! minutes of benchmarking....

could it be that the stick is a medion stick? (comes from medion PC)
