well. my computer hasn't fried yetlol, I took it down to 2.81 GHz, now it is hitting temps no higher then 55 deg C, and I am happy with that, although now I am addicted to overclocking Roll Eyes

I might be getting a CPU heatsink with a water jacket so mabe I can bring it up to 2.9 GHz Grin

I have found out that about 63 deg C is the CPU limit, for my computer has restarted at about 60 deg, so I aint gonna go over 55 deg.

Ok, one question: Is there any limit to overclocking then the temputure?

Thanks alot, I am very happy with all this voiding of warrentys!! Grin

(I got this computer like 3 months ago Grin

)

is there any other limit? one thing is, do not raise voltage, at least very much, more power going thru the CPU make the stuff shake which then causes the metal to degrade, and after time destroys your CPU

thats the only other limit

btw, I have a liquid cooling system, its a lot more maintnance than air cooling, just a couple weeks ago i had to change out the fluid and install new tubing. The reason i installed new tubing is cause there was bacteria growing on the tubes. Of course that was only because i forgot to put a couple drops of Anit-Bacteria in. Roll Eyes

Still have a nice PC but I just switched to a hella nice mac

Well, in the BIOS setup, I have the voltage on auto. Should I keep it there, or should I set it manualy?

Thanks, I wouldn't wanna blow this CPU, my dad would probably be not too happy Wink

When it breaks and you will try to claim on your warrenty they will know you o/ced it because the little fuse type thing inside the chip will be broken and it will tell them that it was o/ced. Too late now though, you already voided your warrenty.

My system:Intel Q6600@3.6GHz, Corsair XMS2 4GB DDR2-6400 (4-4-4-12-1T) , Sapphire 7850 OC 2BG 920/5000, X-Fi Fatality, Corsair AX 750, 7 Pro x64

When???? Hmmmm.... I dont think it will burn out, not untill I get a new processor, anyway! Grin

I have checked EVERYTHING, voltage is good, temputure is good, ffans are Ok, and on top of that, I have soooo many alarms it is ridiculious, IE--- I have my V-core voltage so if it fluctuates more then 3% for 10 seconds, it will shut off my computer, and the temputure alarm is set at 60 deg C and the same thing will happen (if it stays above 60 deg C for 10 seconds, it will shut off my computer) so, I think I am very well protected from overclocking too high Grin

And, the warrenty, well, yes I do know that I voided the warrenty (I am very good at doing that to anything)

I am somwhere I don't know where I am!!!&&

your not good at voiding warranties until you start modding computers, cd-roms, harddrives, mouses, keyboard, graphics cards, routers, :-P

uhh, I am currently overclocking my video card Undecided

Well! to get to the point: what are the warnings that you are overclocking too high? I hear you get Artifacts, is that the only warning?

Thankyou, but please tell of any other warnings if there is any! Thankyou!
