Hey all, Perhaps I need to rephrase my question. I'm interested in overclocking my Barton above 1.93 Ghz. CPUCool sez I'm running between 42 and 45 degrees currently. I tried to Google some temperature ranges but couldn't find anything. Are there some good websites that offer...

Hey all, I've got my new computer up and running and am now putting efforts into overclocking it but I'm getting less than expected and mixed results. I am using an AMD 64 3200+ on an MSI K8N Neo Platinum with 2x512MB Crucial Ballistix PC3200. My dumb ass didn't buy a floppy drive so I can't...

Ive heard you can use a pelitizer and a good heatsink to overclock. Don't like the thought of using water cooling. Thought about Promitha or vapor cill that uses a compressor to chill the processor down. Seen a P4 overclocked a gig online. 3.2ghtz all the way to 4ghtz ============== Posted...

I've just installed a new Silent Boost Heatsink onto my new Athlon 64 3000 on an Asus KV8 Deluxe motherboard. I was not impressed with the sound initially, and so decided to power up the HS fan that came with the CPU just to see what the difference was. It turns out that my Silent Boost is louder...

Just saw this video where they show intell and AMD cpus and reomoving the heatsink, the Intell cpus just slow down or stop but the AMD ones FRY FRY FRY :) Just seems AMD could include this ?, is it in the 64bit cpus ? Ive got a Mobile Barton 2500, so iam a AMD boy and have been for some time...

Hey all, CPUCool sez my Athlon 2600+ Barton Model 10 runs between 42 and 45 degrees Fahrenheit. A couple websites I found list the Critical Temperature as 85 degrees, so I'm assuming I'd want to set the Over Shut Down Temperature at least 10 to 15 degrees below that? I want to try upping the FSB...
