| 210123 | 2004-01-27 09:19:00 | No one has yet answered the question "why not just get a faster cpu?" By the time a fortune has been spent on sophisticated coolers, extra fans etc etc, you could have a faster cpu, I just do not understand the logic behind it. |

| 210126 | 2004-01-27 18:37:00 | a 10% increase is generally safe for overclocking but dont over do it especially in summer when its hot enough so you dont need to warm up the room lol | kiwibeat (304) | ||
| 210127 | 2004-01-27 20:35:00 | Heh yea wheres the fun in buying a new cpu?? Have some fun and fiddle round with overclocking it, you learn a GREAT deal in the process. I for example put pencil lines to jojn the L1 bridges on my T-bird cpu to unlock the multiplier on it. In the process I learned how to remove and install a cpu and heatsink properly and apply thermal paste correctly. Unfortunately my motherboard was so bad it wouldn't let me increase the multiplier on the chip, ah well, all good fun :) |

| 210128 | 2004-01-27 20:58:00 | >No one has yet answered the question "why not just get a faster cpu?" Because of the price ... I'm running my P4 2.6C at 3.52 ... the cost of a 2.6C is around 3 hundred dollar mark, now the highest P4 you can get now is 3.4 with a price tag of over $1200 ... Another reason is, an overclocked PC is faster than the non overclocked PC with the same speed |
