ravix Posted December 19, 2003 Posted December 19, 2003 I was just curious how many of you have screwed up your computers overclocking. If you did break a component, please tell us what it is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eva_Unit_0 Posted December 19, 2003 Posted December 19, 2003 So far my "overclocking body count" is at 1. When I had my ecs k7s5a and a duron 1ghz @ 1.33 ghz, I tried to voltage-mod the duron (since the k7s5a didn't support changing practically anything) using the bridges on the cpu. Let's just say it didn't work. It was a shame, too. That was a great overclocking duron...it would run stable at 1.38 ghz and would post at 1.43, and that was on a board that sucked at overclocking.

bigred Posted December 19, 2003 Posted December 19, 2003 1 P3C2000 mobo. fried it real good, replaced with a cusl2c mobo, which I managed to fuse together with the cpu (184fsb on a PIII 1ghz was too much I guess). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
