Hi guys!
We have an Intel Pentium 4 3.2GHZ 540J Prescott,
Motherboard Model: Gigabyte 8VT880P w/ 1GB of ram.
CPU: FSB = 201MHZ 1.3375V
Clock: 3215.70MHZ Ratio: 16X
CPU benchmark = 14829 close to that of a Intel Atom 230
FPU benchmark = 5111 close to that of a Intel Celeron 525
We've had it since 2004 or something... It has become old and very slow after many years of intense but good service out of it... I even used to play FSX on it with a good 256mb Geforce card and it ran GREAT!
Now that we're getting a new AMD for a change, I want to overclock our old Pentium 4. I'm afraid that any stress might kill it, though. It takes next to nothing to get it up to 100% load . I put it through a 31sec stress test and it came out clean. The 1GB RAM is old and shaky too but I want to use 'em in the future. The CPU fan has the intel sticker but it looks like it is more powerful than the stock one. Since we live in the tropics it's usually 32 degrees Celsius all day, everyday so I don't want too much heat since the fan runs on high already... its very loud! It's BIOS looks like it's made to be overclocked. It has an MB Intelligent Tweaker in which you have a CPU host control, (C.I.A.) CPU Intelligent Acelerator and the voltage control.
I'm quite unsure what to do about the CPU Intelligent Acelerator so please help! Any further suggestions/help (anything really!) would be appreciated (since its needed:lol.
Thanks in advance!
