Overclocking my friends rig

[shellofinsanity]

Well the whole thing is oced like nuts right now, he wants to see what she can do.

Sempron 3200 1.8ghz @ 2.3ghz (30% overclock)
DDR2 533 @ 667 4-4-4-11 (30% overclock)
7600GT 560/1400 @ 600/1580 (7%/13% overclock)

any suggestions for going fruther voltage was raised from 1.35 to 1.4 and its still kinda cool at 25C

TIP : OC a Sempron till it fail a benchmark and gets errors.

lol its at max right now, this ECS board wont let me control divder so i cant set it to DDR2 400 only DDR2 533, unless someone can tell me how to get the hidden features inside the award bios, cause i long forgot that

the memory timings are probably too tight and preventing more fsb OC, loosen them to 5-5-5-15 and see if you can get the fsb higher

btw if i were you i wouldnt touch it, get your friend to do all the changes cos if it breaks by your hands they wont be your friend for long

lol well if i can get a good enough OC outta this i might trade him comps, my PentiumD is kinda slow for gaming.

Whats your PC's specs? i got my old dell 4600 P4 from 2.4Ghz to 2.8 stable :twisted:

Overclock it till it burns up. Bring us back the results, and spend 35 bucks on a new Sempron

Honestly, don't go much farther with it. Your only going to kill it faster.

PentiumD 820, Dell mobo, eVga7600GS. 2048mb DDR2 533.


thats it pretty much

id swap it regardless simply because dells are totally inflexible, for some of the older Dells they used proprietry PSU connectors( my old Dell 4600 had them ), maybe yours doesnt have that problem?, also overclocking them is a bit crap( but can be done i got my 2.4Ghz upto 2.8 ) but its very clunky, and they normally dont have any cooling( limits any CPU overclock )
