Safe overclocking for MSI NEO 848p

[psman]

hello
i have a MSI NEO 848p motherboard its comes with an ability called "Dynamic over clocking" there are a lot of options in BIOS concerning this i want know if i can get a visible speed boost with this without risking All the system.
P4 2.8 GHZ
RAM 256MB 333
Geforce4 MX 4000

if any one tried this before please help im new to overclocking

That P4 2.8GHz is a socket 478. If you have the stock Fan and Heatsink on that CPU, I wouldn't recommend attempting any OCing. If you upgrade the FAN & HS you could. That CPU is stable up to 3.4GHz. The Dynamic overclocking Utility from MSI is pretty good.

And yea if u get the new fan and heatsink u will see a huge huge difference

 

[psman]

what do u mean by heatsink?? is it the product that we put on the cpu before we install the fan??

you may want to get some more, and faster ram while you are there 256mb is just enough to run xp smoothly.


yeah, that is the heatsink. get some artic silver 5 thermal compound as well. This is said to be the best air cooled heatsink http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Online_Catalogue_Thermalright_120.html (its the top one. you need to get a 120mm fan seperatley and the thermal compund.

Your ram will bottleneck and you wouldnt likely see the difference between your 2.8 and intel's top end processor
