My system:

P4 2.4B
Gigabyte GA-8IHXP
512 PC1066 RDRAM (NTX Brand)
Abit Siluro GF4 Ti4600 128MB DDR
Sound, USB, etc is onboard

I'm using the ThermalTake Volcano 7 and I'm wondering what my cutoff point would be with OC'ing? Should I stop at a certain limit. I have no desire to go to a water cooled system but would like to get a little more out of the proc. Any help would be appreciated.

Christ, cooling a P4 with a V7+ is like going rabbit hunting with an M-60.

Unless you have the fan on the "low" setting. Then that evens things out a little.

Lol. So does that mean I can go pretty high? Just wondering if there is a limit which I'm sure there is but I just don't know what it is.

Well I changed my FSB to 148 which OC'd my cpu to 2.6GHz. My temps were around 43c not on full load. I haven't tried a full load test yet. Is this temp good for having this HSF? I'm going to try to up the FSB some more tonight and see what I come up with. Any help would be great.

what is your core voltage at? my v7+ keeps my 1.8a at 40 with voltage at stock 1.5, under full load (the temp doesn't change at all, zero degrees, nada, it is 40 at idle too), and OCed to 2 ghz (i can't go higher like 133 fsb even with 1.6v b/c my psu sucks, i believe, so i'm gettin a new one).

anyway that temp sounds good to me, for a 2.4 as opposed to a 1.8

I haven't changed the core voltage at all. The pc is running stable with the stock settings. I'm gonna try and go to 150 FSB tonight and see what I get. If it's stable I'll go a little higher.
