overclocking a intel pentium 3.2gigs

[hamguy2]

hi everyone, i have adsl 2 24000mps, i was wondering if its possible to overclock a processor like a 3.2gigs to say 3.5 or more i have 2 gigs of ddr2 ram on board ,thanks david nsw

Yes it is possible but is very Dependant on a number of factors, mainly the actual CPU, the motherboard, the actual DDR2 memory and your graphics card.

Overclocking your processor will have little or no effect on the up and down speed of your Internet connection.

as long as the mb bios has fsb adjustment its fine
newish mb's the graphics card and ram have no effect
as cpu,ram,vga fsb is seperate.
so you just up the cpu fsb at 10mhz a time while watching the cpu temp.
when it crashes or wont boot, youve gone too far.

Quadspeed. Changing the FSB changes the bus speed of AGP/PCIe and ram.

What brand and model motherboard is it. and what brand and model processor.

if you take quadspeeds advice. I would back off the FSB a little. your computer might boot but under heavy load youll probably get unstability

come on guys

David go into the bios and bring down your RAM FSB to as low as it will go and then start to bring up your CPU speeds until it crashes then back it off a little, now go back to your RAM FSB (you will notice it has gone up as you increased your CPU) keep going with the RAM FSB until it crashes then back it off. Now run some benchmark tests to make sure it is stable.

This will all depend on how good youe Mainboard is

there are heaps of tutes on the web how to do this but it looks like you are not chasing much more speed so you should not have many issues(as i said before all depends on the board)

i run one pc 2.4duel core @3.2 and 800mhzDDR2 @1033 stable but i have an ROG mainboard which allows a lot to be done but they cost a few bucks.

i have recently slowly killed the RAM and had to back it off for stability but its still running faster than rated.

id also look at the cpu cooling if you're gonna OC. 300mhz isnt much though
