D Da11en47 In Runtime Messages 223 Sep 21, 2006 #1 Im trying to overclock. Currently my Voltage to my CPU is 1.5V, how much is too much on average. And how much should you increase in increments? Should I be increasing by .1 ? Untill it works? MOBO: p4p800SE Power: NSpire 450w

C cwiz MechEng Extraordinaire Messages 1,027 Sep 21, 2006 #5 well, yeah, but you dont start by changing your voltages... you should try and adjust after you have started becomeing unstable.

I put the voltages up ot a good level first (not too high) then I start overclocking. besides, who says he did put the voltages up first?

D Da11en47 In Runtime Messages 223 Sep 21, 2006 #7 I got to 3.47 from 2.8, and now it wont go any higher. So I was wondering about the voltages, sorry I didnt mention that part. I have a Prescott. The voltage reads 1.4 Think I should play with the voltage?

Apokalipse Golden Master Messages 14,559 Location Melbourne, Australia Sep 21, 2006 #8 it's probabbly safe to go up to about 1.5V
C COD2_fanatic Daemon Poster Messages 793 Sep 21, 2006 #9 i'd leave it at 3.47Ghz that would suffice for me
D Da11en47 In Runtime Messages 223 Sep 21, 2006 #10 yeah i think im getting greedy, im suprised how far its gone. I dont plan on getting better cooling...hehe. I think Ill stay put at 3.47ghz. Thanks.
