Ximo Posted September 21, 2003 Posted September 21, 2003 Dont worry... Your computer wont blow up nor melt because u overclock.... But u just have to keep in mind that ur temps should not go over 60 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kobalt Posted September 22, 2003 Posted September 22, 2003 And most modern boards have a CPU protection,if it goes higher than a certain level it will shut down by itself Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gouber5585 Posted September 22, 2003 Posted September 22, 2003 at 75-80 ull melt ur CPU!!! Ur cpu won't melt at 75-80. I had mine running for over a month at 102C and it never melted, of course when i found out on this site that it was way to hot, i fixed it. It was a little unstable. But that's all.

Sainou-Kun Posted September 22, 2003 Posted September 22, 2003 at 100+C Im kinda shocked that it didnt melt or you didnt fry your mobo all together. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torx Posted September 22, 2003 Posted September 22, 2003 doesn't the diode shut the machine down after 80 or so? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gouber5585 Posted September 22, 2003 Posted September 22, 2003 Well, no diode shut down my machine. So i guess not. Now, my machine is around 39 C idle and around 66 C with folding. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ximo Posted September 22, 2003 Posted September 22, 2003 u got a rly resistant cpu if it got to those temps without frying!!!! u were lucky, i doubt that everyone can do that without damaging ur rig!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotuspod Posted September 22, 2003 Posted September 22, 2003 being the nOOb of nOObs to overclocking, i just had some questions. yesterday i dove into the OC ring and changed my multiplier from 11x166 to 12x166. i had a couple concerns about the temps. after i jumped to 12x i ran prime95s strees test and my temp went to 64C. is that exceptable for being under full load or should i back it off a bit asus A7N8X- deluxe amd 2500+ barton 333 FSB defualt HSF 512mb pc 3200 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
