CAINuKe Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 Try to push it as far as you can, that is what overclocking is about isn't it? Kudos on that clock speed, I had a Celeron (478 Socket IIRC) stocked at 2.8ghz and only got it to 3.4ghz before it was way too unstable for me to go further with it.

Danny_75 Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 Yep thats all you can do just take it to the max then poss back it of a little to save it. If its all you have mate the last thing you want is it to fry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott P Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 If you don't really need the additional speed and can't afford a potential fire, then stick with the good result you have achieved so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fight Game Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 (edited) With that cpu I'd stop there. Normally I'd say never stop, but considering it's age and you're "being stuck with it"... Edited January 11, 2010 by Fight Game Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
