help with reaching 4ghz

[bigbmxdave]

Im using a p4 3.074ghz processor, I downloaded msi fuzzylogic v4 to try to see how far I could over clock. I can get it to 3.6ghz before it reboots my computer. the temps are stable about about 68 degress on average, and I have tried raising the core cpu voltage from 1.55 to 1.65. any other ideas how I can get it past the 4ghz barrier?

First off you need better cooling. Is 68c idle or load? Either way its too hot IMO.

 

[bigbmxdave]

its about 55 when idle. 68 when its been running something like msn messenger for a while.

Yeah, don't increase the voltage anymore until you have some better cooling installed on that thing, 68 degrees is hot for any processor.

will a bigger heatsink work?

msn messenger? Try testing the temps using something like Prime95 or Sandra Burn in Wizard.

I did with prime 95, and also watched a video during it. got it to 90 degrees. before it visibly slowed down.

man thats way to hot... i dont even think you will get 3.5ghz stable with that temp. you should upgrade to water cooling, or if you have the money, phase change

 

[bigbmxdave]

whats phase change?

 

[phosho510]

its expensive but its worth it, it will bring your temp below subzero.


here is a forum on phase change
