I have been working with computers far many years, but never did my own build until now. I would just upgrade off the shelf PC's as I needed. I have always heard about over clocking but didn't know anything about it. I have been reading every chance I get, trying to learn about it.
As the title says I have a 965. As I type I have it running at 4.0 ghz. I have been running prime95 for 4 hours now, watching Netflix, and typing this with zero issues. My temp is around 50C. The thing that surprises me is the CPU is maxed at 100%, but I can still do many other things with no lag. Just how far can these things be pushed? 4.1ghz, 4.2ghz ??
My system and setup-
MB- Asus M5A97 R2.0
RAM - G Skill Sniper DDR3 2133 (2x4gb)
CPU - PII 965 BE
Cooler - Cooler Master 212+
C Drive, Samsung 840 SSD 250gb
GPU - Sapphire 7770 Ghz Edition
PSU - Corsair 500 watt
Case - Corsair Carbide 200R
Bios settings-
Multiplier - 19
VCore - 1.4V
FSB - 210
HTT - 2100
RAM V - 1.6V
All other voltages and settings are stock.
Oh, and my WEI score went up to 7.5 on the CPU and RAM....big woop
