meanman · 03-17-2006, 05:59 PM

hi i have a abit mobo and a amd 4000+ cpu the mobo has a oc program on it
and i can select normal or turbo hear is a list of the differance between the two
default
cpu freq 2448 mhz
ext/agp/pci 204/66/33 mhz
v core 1.4000 v
agp 1.65 v
cpu temp is 47C

in turbo mode these are the settings
cpu freq 2592 mhz
ext/agp/pci 216/66/33 mhz
v core 1.6000 v
agp 1.65 v
cpu temp running the same processes as above temp is 51c
do you think it is safe for me to run it in turbo mode or not please help

It's more than likely safe to run in turbo mode, but why not OC straight from the BIOS, teh "real" way? Unless I'm mistaking what you're saying and this turbo mode is in the BIOS...

i am not sure how to do it from bios the turbo mode is a oc utillity on my desktop i want to run in turbo but i play games alot and im worried that my cpu might break

download speedfan and you can check your temps there, cpu's the 2nd one on the list

, what cooling do you have?, if its stock I suggest you get a descent cooler (something like a thermaltake or zalman)

No, turbo mode is a relatively insignificant, non-permanent overclock and there's little chance it would damage your CPU. Look here for how to OC permanently, which is really fun and can get yuo some performance that you didn't know you had bought:

Overclocking 101 (Oc101)

increasing the vcore by .2? isn't that a big jump for such a little overclock?

Yep, but it's still pretty safe to run. That's why I suggested he do it manually.
