Anyone have a link or something to a confirmed safe way of doing this? A few of my friends want to do it and I couldn't really provide much help.
Oh, and also does anyone know/have a link of a graph?
Like...
2.68 ghz = 3.06 ghz overcloaked ect. Would be nice.
And anyone know if 3.06 would overcloak to 4.21? Ty.

Also, any idea what the fine is if your caught? I know there is jail time for uncapping modems, so any idea if there might be jail time for overcloaking aswell?
Because everything is nothing and emptiness isnt everything. This reality is really just a fucked up dream with the flesh and the blood that you carve your soul flip it inside out its a big black hole.

You mean overclocking? I dont think there are any legal problems with overclocking a processor (at least in the US) but you may void out your warranty for the computer. Meaning that if you mess it up it is your own problem, or if anything goes wrong in the future (even if you didnt do it) the company doesnt have to help you.

Seems pretty risky to mess around with that if your computer is running at 2.68 GHz, are you not able to run any programs with that kind of speed?

Thanks for information, and excuse my terrible English. T.T;
Anyways, its my friends that want it done, I already had a friend of mine (he's moved now) overclock mine.. And I am not sure what their processor speed is, I think its pretty low (like 800 mhz =\)
Anyways, mine is 3.06 now. ^^
A tutorial would be nice, or a covertion chart. I will just buy a crappy 500-ish dollar computer and screw around with that until I get it, then try it out with a few different speeds and make a chart.^^

...Put the computer in an icebox, that should take care of all problems :-)
Just because you can now store where everyone was and is, what they like, what they fear who they talk to and who they love. It does not mean we should so spy upon our fellow man in a dystopia far worse then 1984

there is no such thing as a 2 ghz must be able to overclock to 2,5 ghz or something. it depends a lot on the serie of your processor, even the location of your processor on the board when it was produced matters and the type of your motherboard, systemcooling, processor cooling, processor voltage.
You should overclock in little steps and watch the temperature of your processor very carefully.

Personally I really wouldn't care much if I friend my cpu and motherboard.. But i'm sure my friends would be mad if I fried theirs. ^^ Meat, any links you have?
And sorry Michael that I don't have perfect English.

I heard about some german guys overclocking a 3.0 ghz to 4.7

Anyway, if what Casper says it's true, I think it's a retarded law. Afterall the processor is your property and you should be able to do whatever you want with it. It's like making taking out transistors out of your tv illegal. Or smashing your radio with a big hammer. I can do what I want with my stuff. I Worked for it!

MPX, uncapping should be illegal however.. And also overclocking is weird, to put it to law.. Because technically you own it, and it has the potenial to be faster, but yet you are making it faster then it was meant to be when it was sold for you, thus saving money.. Its a complicated issue.

they cooled the cpu with hydrogen, if u have an onhand supply of hydrogen u too can overclock your cpu to 4+ ghz(depending on your type of cpu of course).
