Well, I've overclocked my P3 500 to 575mhz.... 15% overclock, not bad.
Running on an Asus P3B-F MB, 384MB of RAM PC100(1 stick of 256 Kingston PC133, 2 sticks of 64mb of some nonamer)
According to SiSoft's Sandra, CPU temp's at 43°C, stock HSF. But it says something about it adjusting my temperatures. Why would it adjust my temperatures? Now mind you, my CPU temps according to the BIOS is 65°C, but I think that's a load of crap, cuz I can put my finger to any part of the CPU and it only feels slightly warmer than body temp, making it about 40°C. So the 43°C makes sense. But should I be concerned nonetheless?
I can't push the CPU any higher... right now the FSB's at 115mhz, with PCI at 38mhz.... I don't wanna do 120/40, cuz that's pushin my PCI too much. But I have a 124/31 setting, and I tried that, and my comp wouldn't post, even when I pushed the Vcore from 2.00V to 2.40V (yeah, btw, I'm running at the lowest Vcore, 2.00V right now)
Any tips for getting it higher?
Another thing, running Prime95's torture test, my whole comp froze during Test 2 (i walked away for like 10mins to watch Simpsons)
That a bad thing?
