I read about some guy who had his computer room at about 5 degrees celsius. BLoody cold working he reckoned but the overclocked computer ran like a dream. | MACIAN (6176) | ||
| 418411 | 2006-01-06 18:09:00 | I have never been a fan of overclocking. I believe in buying the power I need in the first place. However one day,with nothing better to do, I overclocked by 10% to try it out. It did exactly nothing for me. Everest recognised the overclock and told me it was working faster. The average temperature rose by about 2 degrees. But nothing seemed to work any faster. In other words I had a faster computer than I needed. One very hot afternoon my comp. came to a sudden halt. Up pops a message. "overclocking problem. Resetting to standard" Or words to that effect. Then we carried on as normal. The problem ,as I soon found out, was that ALL my cmos settings had reverted to dfault. So I filled in an hour re- setting again. Without the overclock. Once again no noticeable speed difference. So, for me at least, overclocking was completely meaningless. |
