Overclocking by Wabz on 01-28-2005 at 02:38 PM
Hey guys being at uni I have my own machine on my desk. Its lasted a good 6 year now and still works really well.
Its a pentium 3 650MHz and I'm starting to consider if its worth overclocking. However I have no clue where to start, how far to overclock it with the standard heatsinks and fans anyone got any advice on where to begin
P.S.
I think this should be in Tech Chat

Not worth OCing
You'll fry the poor thing after it worked so hard for you

start in bios but you need to make sure the cpu fan and other cooling is good really

You'll fry it. Unless you want to do that... 
XD

its not THAT easy to fry a cpu (if your cooling is good o.0), i have my athlon 2500 up to 2326MHz now and i havn't finished going up yet

You can overclock it but to overclock it to a worthwhile speed you will need some kickass cooling system

What about a 1400 Mhz Processor? Its AMD...

IF u want good cooling, just leave the Case top off 
an make sure the computer is in a Non dusty area, But BIOS is a good start to overclock it, but in some cases some cpu's rnt worth overclosing coz u dont see any difference at all

thats not true at all !!! specially if you are using fans !! a close case is actually better because it keeps the air flow (bringing in cold air to replce the hot air) going !! where as without a case it can't control where the air from the fans go
if you have a water cooler then yes leaving the case off maybe abit better ?!?!?

iv'e known people to do it if they overclock , saves on spending money on a fan ) works for them, i personally cant see any harm in it if the computer itself isnt in a dusty envirement

Logically, toddy is right.
If you want to open the case, you have to make sure that the CPU is also in a cool temperature room, preferably in air-conditioned room.
Yeah, right... you save some bucks on CPU sink but you're knocked up in electric bill.

that might be so but i have known People to do it the way iv'e sugggested an they havent had any problems , sure the computer has been in a air-conditioned place to, but also not a dusty room either,
