NEW OC'ER HOPEFULLY

[Jammin67pl]

HOPEFULLY i say again
i keep reading about all these overclocked systems
and say why not me
i have gigabyte easytune4 and am curious as to what to do with it my current sys temp is 29c and cpu temp is 56c
i read that my cpu can run at nearly 75-80c is that true
and am very curious about oc'ing my vid card 9200se just to see i know its a low end card but why not learn on something cheap huh where do i start it seems i have control over the cpu voltage dram volt. agp volt.
dram,agp,pci freq. control and sys bus is at 133 can these be pumped up at what increments and is this controled by the easytune or do i have to do other mod in bios or other area of the computer cause theres a GO button that i hit on easytune and whammo is that all???
also where do i find my temps and stuff on my vid card

First read this: <A HREF="http://forumz.tomshardware.com/hardware/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=675291#675291" target="_new">http://forumz.tomshardware.com/hardware/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=675291#675291</A>

Next note that while an XP 'can' run at 75-80c, it can really shorten the life of the cpu. 60c or less is best for longevity. And that's 60c under load - just sitting at the desktop or on the bios screen is considered idle.

To OC the video card post a question about it in the Overclocking - 3D chips forum. I don't know much if anything about OCing video cards. Oh, and there's no temperature monitor on that video card, so you'd have to get an external sensor to see those temps.

Based on your reported settings and temps, you may be able to get a mild overclock (many Athlons can go to about 2.4ghz with appropriate cooling and voltage increases), but you'll almost definitely need a better cooling than you have currently.

Get some skills. Do some research before you try anything.

If you're running an XP-2700 @ 2.2ghz you're already overclocked. Get a better video card before you do anything else.

Abit IS7 - 3.0C @ 3.6ghz - Mushkin PC4000 (2 X 512) - Sapphire 9800Pro - TT 420 watt Pure Power

thanx guys i tried the east tune and had the sys bus up to 177 and my GHz was at 2301 and the temp didnt rise i played unreal and it didnt get over 57c turned it back down though after a few mins got scared!!! but it seemed ok no real temp rise anyway i wont mess with it anymore just to be safe ill take all your recomendations before i try again id like to see this go up like some of these other systems i see on here so i might be a work in progress for u guys lol once again

Didn't the old Thoroughbreds B run at that speed for a 2700+? Or something near?
