tzehming Posted December 1, 2002 Posted December 1, 2002 Hi. I'm a newbie in overclocking & would like to consult you experts. I have a problem in overclocking more than 143MHz fsb. I've set the Vcore to maximum, that is 1.850V... What more can I do to increase the FSB? When i go higher than 143MHz, the windows will pop up a blue screen saying "a problem has occured" Also, the cooling in my PC isn't very efficient. If the air cond is switched off, idle temperature is 49 degrees at idle & the side casing is opened as well as in low speed fan setting. If i want to install more fans, what kind of fans should I get, i.e. how many mm? what quantity? where to install it, top/behind? I don't see any hope of installing it infront becuz i dont haf space for it. i have space on top & behind. Please, any suggestions would be appreciated to solve any of my problems. Thanks.

xpandapuss Posted December 1, 2002 Posted December 1, 2002 It's your temps, bro... You have to get have to get control of 'em...ie, better cooling....... Try bringing that core volt back down, see if the system will boot--even load OS.--For my standards, if you can run a full benchmark without a lock up or "hiccup" then it's good to go.......--but then again that's me <_ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AiReS Posted December 1, 2002 Posted December 1, 2002 well I was in the exact same boat, but the guys here told me to do somehting and I did it and it worked like a miracle, here's what you gotta do 1. move your HDD and check for a fan slot in the front of your case, if you got one, put a high CFM fan there that will pull air in. 2. then what you gotta do is put two fans in the back of your case pushing air out, this way you have constant flow of cooler air coming in and hot air going out. in my case believe it or not, after doing that my idle CPU temp dropped from 57 to 35, which is a HUGE diff. let us know how it goes for you though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tzehming Posted December 4, 2002 Posted December 4, 2002 Ic... unfortunately i do not have a fan space in front of my casing. What i can do is drill holes on top of my casing as well as adding a fan at the back of my casing. So is it advisable to put an intake fan at the top of my casing & an exhaust fan at the back of my casing? Anymore suggestions? Thanks.

tkos Posted December 4, 2002 Posted December 4, 2002 that would be a definate help, but you still need at least one fan in the front! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rack1600 Posted December 9, 2002 Posted December 9, 2002 You want an EXHAUST on the top of your case, not inlet, as hot air goes up this is the best idea. that is why inlet at front as they are low + out at back as they are higher.

Calyco Posted December 9, 2002 Posted December 9, 2002 Try and draw air in from the front, but remember air flow is the most important. If the air just gets in and sits, then it is doing you a big negative instead of the positive your looking for. So try and exhaust from the top. /Air in should= air out/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
