overclock this?

[nathan]

first things first, never overclocked before....

Now with that out of the way, i have a P4 2.8 (Northwood core) running on a P4VM800 motherboard.

Havent got much time now to give you anymore info, but from that little above, can anyone tell me if there is a chance of a slight overclock??

I'll provide more info when i get home tonight.

ta muchy!

You'll be fine mate, although it is using a VIA chipset. That ASRock was a popular little mobo in its time.

I took a quick look at the manual, and the bios has an adjustment for the frequency so I would expect you could increase the FSB by at least 10-20 Mhz.

Thats the same mobo i have in my cellery rig mate. It got the 2.6 northy up to 3ghz no problem.

Just keep a eye on your temps.

with some decent cooling you should be heading towards 3.4 or more i reckon

 

[nathan]

wooooo, i'm excited Running stock cooling and not gonna buy another for it as im saving for a new "rig"

 

[nathan]

what would be the max temp i should not exceed? 55c?

 

[mrapoc]

i should say so yes, unless its different for non c2d cpus. I know 60 is bad

 

[FarFarAway]

Well 60-65°C is ok for a P4

 

[nathan]

well, i'm running at 147 at the mo, cannot go any higher, i need to up the voltage, but i dont think the board will let me, any ideas what other name it could come under?

i can only find dram voltage, guessing thats RAM and AGP voltage.

 

[FarFarAway]

dram is just RAM voltage
