i've always been scared to overclock, but seeing as some ppl are getting CRAZY overclocks.. i can't resist anymore. i don't know too much on how to overclock, but if you guys recommend that i do overclock, i will research in detail.
these are my computer specs:
450 watt antec smart power 2.0 (came w/ sonata2 case)
MSI K8N Neo4-F ATX AMD Motherboard
Athlon 64 3000+ venice skt 939 (stock heatsink/fan, i didn't add any thermal paste, i just used the junk that was already on the heatsink)
Corsair Value Ram 2 X 512mb
eVGA 6600gt
i also have a dvd-wr, floppy, HDD, and a soundcard.. (for you to assess power drain...)
everything is at stock speeds and stock cooling and stock everything. i don't want to replace or change anything when i overclock.
these are temps i'm currently getting:
(i just got this program.. for some reason it doesn't say which temp is which)
using SpeedFan:
Temp1: 34
Temp2: 35
Temp3: 17
Temp: 40
HD0: 38
Temp1: 22
.. all in celcius.
i know this is a gay program.. whats a good free program to use?
ANYWAYS.
given my computer specs, would you recommend that i overclock?! out of sheer curiousity i want to know what speeds my venice could hit.
oh ya i almost forgot to mention, if some of you are familiar with the sonata case, there's this big black air duct that goes over the cpu... should i just remove that? it doesn't seem to affect the temperature when its in or out.
thx
