hey all.
what is the actual impact of psu on overclocking?
i have a coolmax 500W and i haven't had any problems with it.
the voltage does fluctuate in cpuz, but i have not tested it with a meter.
it seems i hit a (solid) wall at about 2.9 with my overclock.
now, i don't know if it is my mobo or my cpu...but i haven't seen to many 4200's farther than 2.8 or so. i am inclined to think that my mobo does not like high ext. cpu clock...could be like the 680i boards, and i would have better results with a x13 multiplier (mine is x11), or the unlocked fx (lol, cha ching yah right).
so, i am wondering...does my psu play a large part in my overclock?
i know it is important in the big scheme of things...
does anyone have a 4200 that can clock over the 2.8-9 point?
if so, please list your specs and settings...and what psu you have.
