| 837205 | 2009-12-07 08:10:00 | At most 2 a week, nothing to stress about. And because of overclocking I got alot more out of the e6600 I had before this. When I was done with it it was still capable of doing pretty much anything well I get some people don't like overclocking, and thats fine. I dont recommend it to anyone. Personal choice |

| 837206 | 2009-12-07 08:10:00 | Then I would think for a person that has knowledge about PCs that they wouldn't have a piece of dung that couldn't do what they wanted it to do in the first place. That's a stupid comment. No one would know whether or not a chip is a great overclocker if it isn't tried. Besides, just because it can't reach 4GHz doesn't make it a dung. Pretty sure Huey knows quite a bit about computer hardware, perhaps more than you. Overclocking is just a fun thing to do. In real life applications you may find your PC responding better in some cases but no difference in another, but most people do it just because they want to get the most of their CPU, and that being enthusiasts, it will probably be replaced long before any effects the overclocking may have surfaces. In this case Huey what I would do is downclock it to about 3.5GHz and see how it goes for a week or two. |

| 837207 | 2009-12-07 08:15:00 | From what I know a moderate to high overclock can reduce a cpus life to maybe 4-5 years. I am fairly confident that this CPU and most likely every other component in my case will have been updated in 2 years. So not really worried about hardware life | hueybot3000 (3646) | ||
| 837208 | 2009-12-07 08:28:00 | That's a stupid comment . No one would know whether or not a chip is a great overclocker if it isn't tried . Besides, just because it can't reach 4GHz doesn't make it a dung . Pretty sure Huey knows quite a bit about computer hardware, perhaps more than you . Overclocking is just a fun thing to do . In real life applications you may find your PC responding better in some cases but no difference in another, but most people do it just because they want to get the most of their CPU, and that being enthusiasts, it will probably be replaced long before any effects the overclocking may have surfaces . In this case Huey what I would do is downclock it to about 3 . 5GHz and see how it goes for a week or two . qazwsxokmijn I did not make a personal attack on him, nor you . I suggest you quiet yourself down thank you, it is my opinion of that choice people make . That's correct, they wouldn't know if they didn't . But what I'm expressing is another side of an attitude like you are now; considering the freedom of speech is still allowed? It must be a fun thing to do, but people still need to consider the consequences of it . If he is happy with blue screens every 2 weeks, great for him . But for me personally and other people, the anguish over it would not be worth overclocking a system which doesn't need it . Now I've spoken my opinion, I shall keep quiet while others express theirs . |

| 837209 | 2009-12-07 08:32:00 | A bluescreen every now and then is an indication that i havent finished with my 4ghz oc. The whole point of this thread was to get ideas on what could cause such a random and rare bluescreen. Im far from stressing over it, just curious. I know I really dont need the overclock but as its an interest im happy to put up with the supposed anguish |

| 837210 | 2009-12-07 08:37:00 | I take it your RAM is also getting overclocked? Maybe it can't handle... | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 837211 | 2009-12-07 08:40:00 | Well look in event viewer for the BSOD entry, and tell us what it says. It may tell us WHAT the cause is (if it shows the name of a file). Or, if you've set the settings in the BIOS back to the defaults, and it hasnt crashed since, then obviously the OC is too high. Lower it, or change whatever | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 837212 | 2009-12-07 08:44:00 | Ram was only at 1800ish from memory, stock is 1600. il check event viewer tomorrow. Cheers guys | hueybot3000 (3646) | ||

Now I've spoken my opinion, I shall keep quiet while others express theirs . I was quiet . Just pointing out what was wrong in your post . The other bits are considerable, though . But to an enthusiast at least it's negligible . From what I've read up it's not the frequency that kills the CPU, it's the temperature (if not sufficiently cooled) and the extra voltage . |

| 837214 | 2009-12-07 09:15:00 | cpu voltage is 1.38sometihng i think. the max recommended is 1.4 And temps vary per day but usually no higher than 50 which isnt bad considerin how much hotter these cpus run than the core2's | hueybot3000 (3646) | ||
