| 510662 | 2006-12-29 06:37:00 | all rite go cha now thanx. so how do i ovaclock it to 3ghz? | petechewy (11678) | ||
| 510663 | 2006-12-29 06:42:00 | you need to raise the voltage by a bit otherwise you cannot get stable speeds . But increasing voltage increases the heat generated by the cpu so pay attention of the temperture. To overclock you need to go to the bios. Normaly push DEL before booting the system. I'll leave the rest to you to figure it out |

| 510664 | 2006-12-29 06:45:00 | cheers man. ill give it a go. the cpu is setting at bot 36C at the mo with room temp at 25ish. so its not too bad i guess? | petechewy (11678) | ||
| 510665 | 2006-12-29 06:49:00 | yeah but i heard you can get good results up to 3.1 ghz with the stock cooler check out tomshardware.com for more information. Core 2 E6400 is a great overclocking cpu and the benchmark results are closer to E6700 My computer is a Amd 3500+ 939 Cpu Overclocked, Enermax Liberty 620 Watt PSU, Nvidia Geforce 7900 GT Overclocked, 1 gig of kingston, DFI Infinity Nforce 4 Ultra |

| 510666 | 2006-12-29 06:52:00 | Becarefull of raising the voltage as it damages your cpu if you raise it too much. Overclocked cpu can give you 3 years of service and it voids your warranty. |

| 510667 | 2006-12-29 09:06:00 | cheers thanks for the warning and help. | petechewy (11678) | ||
| 510668 | 2006-12-29 09:20:00 | no problem im a gamer and a little boost to pc performance makes a person feel happy. Thats the reason to live. | JUST INSANE (6682) | ||
| 510669 | 2006-12-29 09:22:00 | Got to the anandtech.com forums for help, if you wish to overclock, they are very informative | SolMiester (139) | ||
