To get a considerable gain out of a processor from overclocking you need to buy some pretty expensive cooling. In the past you could get a Celeron and double it's speed but this isn't the case anymore. It's not worth it and if you think so you can go ahead and waste your time, money and possibly some components. | ||

Refrigeration is good too, but its expensive as hell. Do what I do if you really want to overclock. Get a big fan. Open your case. Put your computer right next to it. Overclock. I guarrantee it wont overheat unless you REALLY overclocked it. And you may be able to overclock in your cmos, but not all motherboards have that option. I guarrantee, however, that on the motherboard you would be able to set pins for clock/frequency. | ||

no??? pretty much all athlon processors have a tendency to overheat more and more as they get older. I dont mean like 1-2 years older, i mean like half a year to a year older. The only thing athlon processors have over pentium processors is that they are cheaper, and in todays processor market(processor power increasing so fucking fast) buying something that is cheaper but maybe not as high of quality is a good idea. | ||

thats INSANE for an overclocked processor. What kind of fan do you have? | ||

if you wish to overcloack to 4+ghz you will need a water coolant system that will be more expensive than the new AMD 4+ processor, so... overcloack isnt as great as you might think. | ||

 My very own palonimo goes with air only 50mhz more than stock so I don't even bother thinking about overclocking untill I get entirely new system sometime in the future. The newer athlons ( the 2100+ is famous for this) may overclock allmost as nicely as p4's. For the thread starter: http://www.overclockers.com/ I am not into overclocking so much so I dunno what are the best sites but try that. With your 3.06 you should expect something like... umm 3.5 or so? | ||

I'll explain it all - lots of the information here is sheer bullshit. Cheers! | ||
