Well it turns out that I can;t really do much it terms of overclocking the pentium d 940. My mobo is an ecs p965t and the oc options are pretty thin. The only way I can oc my cpu is to pick from set numbers that are already in the bios and that is where the problem starts. There are no intermidiate steps b/w 200 fsb, what I am at now = 3.2 ghz, and 266 fsb, which will be a whopping 4.25ghz. When i set it at that level the bios resets it self and the change won't stick.
My questions are:
1) do you think that I can reach this mark on air?
2) i haven't messed with the voltage do you think that if I up the voltage then this number will be achievable?
3) What is a safe voltage and how can I test.
4) Are there anyother ways to oc besides using the bios that you know of?
I know that you are going to say either a get a new mobo or b buy a conroe, but those aren't options right now. I just bought a gts 640 last week so the bank is closed for a little while.
thanks so much for the help
