Hi all....
Couple of quickies to ponder over, firstly, when overclocking and every body talks about how heat can cause major problems when overclocking, what is too hot???
I've just bought a BE6 and I'm currently o/c my PII 333 to 416 (103x4) which runs perfectly stable, the CPU temp is usually set at around 38~39C and the system temp goes from around 36C~42C dependant on whats going on in the system (if the V2's are running the heat goes sky high!!). Just wondering...
Also, for all you avid overclockers out there (Maggi, Pauly, you know who you are!) what can you think of that would make my system more stable at higher speeds than 416? I've tried to get it to 450, I get into Windows but as soon as I do anything interesting (I've been using Unreal and HalfLife to do most of my benchmarking, real system stress tests!) it will blow up with a GPF, I've tried changing the voltage from CPU default 2 to 2.05, 2.1 and 2.2, 2.2 seems to make it more stable yet it still crashes, will a further increment of voltage yield any better results (I ask cause I really don't want ot overdo the voltage settings...) If voltage won't kill my CPU I will up it further, I just get a little worried that somethings gonna blow somewhere with too much current flowing through it...
Any ideas folks? I'd love to hear from you all...
Cheers
