Vista 64-bit overclocking
Hows everyone doing overclocking vista 64-bit? I'm using Vista 64-bit RC1
5600 I'm running my 3800 X2 @2700 MHZ 1.50vdc Corsair valueram set at 333 which works out at 225MHZ What overclocking software works with Vista 64-bit? ntune certainly doesn't. Sp2004 seems to work fine for stability testing. I got an hour in today which isn't enough but I can't stop using my computer for 12 hours just yet CPU-Z works just fine |

I'm using Vista 64-bit RC1 5600 The operating system doesn't care about overclocking, it only cares about stability. :-) Hopefiully that means it's better than WinXP for overclocking Sp2004 seems to work fine for stability testing. I got an hour in today which isn't enough but I can't stop using my computer for 12 hours just yet Try two instances of Prime95, one on each core to fully load the CPU (set the affinity inside Prime95), and let it run overnight for about 8 hours. Surely you can let it do that while you sleep. If it doesn't produce any errors, then your computer is stable. I just wanted to see what other overclockers thought of vista as an operating system to use for overclocking. Ive been OC since the days of the K6 I don't usually sleep more than 4, the perils of age I'm afraid. Usually the best time is when I'm away at work rather thqan sleeping. I have had it up to 4 hours using two instances of SP2004 (p95 with a far better GUI) amd lowered the voltage to 1.45 http://sp2004.fre3.com/ |
