topher Posted March 8, 2007 Posted March 8, 2007 I overclocked my video card with great success with tips from this forum. I am very pleased with it and will recommend it to anyone who asks. To the point, I would like to try and overclock my processor as well. I am running a P4 3.2Ghz with HT. I have ATI Tray Tools and Fan Speed to monitor video card and processor temperatures. Is there a program I need to dl to overclock the processor or will ATI Tray Tools do that, and if it does I guess I would need a quick walk through to do it safely. Any and all tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance, Topher. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
road-runner Posted March 8, 2007 Posted March 8, 2007 (edited) I would suggest reading the over clocking guide first and then if you have some questions come back Edited March 8, 2007 by road-runner Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMeeD Posted March 8, 2007 Posted March 8, 2007 (edited) Overclocking your CPU is a lot different from the video card (why the guide is very helpful). You can use software overclocking but thats not recommended for anything other than tweaking. Edited March 8, 2007 by SMeeD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
topher Posted March 8, 2007 Posted March 8, 2007 I read through the guide and dl'd a couple programs: SuperPI and Prime95. To be honest with you I don't really understand how to guage the results of the tests. Prime95 ran for 4h 41m with no errors and i ran SuperPI up to 8M, which finished in 7m 15s. Unfortunately I am not sure what to take from these results. I would suggest reading the over clocking guide first and then if you have some questions come back Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
romeo55 Posted March 8, 2007 Posted March 8, 2007 It means that your CPU OC is stable, if not, those tests would fail which means: A: Up the voltage B: Lower your OC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
