long term effects when oc'ing

Phate321 · 04-24-2006, 04:47 AM

if you oc a cpu just in mhz, not changing the vcore at all, is there any bad side effects in the future as long as it is still running at normal temps?

Even if you are just changing the FSB on your cpu the temps will slightly increase, and it really deprends within each core but id say without upping the vcore voltage stick within a 350Mhz increase otherwise u could damage it by not giving it enough voltage!

As long as your temps are fine it shouldnt do too much damage, voltage is the real long time killer.

Theres no real way of saying what it could do, but it kills the warenty so you cant get a reaplcement.

sure it may slighly increase by a tiny bit, i oced 200mhz without 1 degree increase, but that little temperature really isn't having a long term affect.

yea, raising the frequency raises temps quite linearly.
for instance, you've got a proc at 2.0ghz... and you raise to 2.4ghz.
you only took 1/5 of the original heat and added it... if that.
raising vcore raises temps a lot more though.
read up on it:
Overclocking 101 (Oc101)
taken from praetor's overclocking 101, that part is about voltage.

You will hardly notice a 350 mhz/PR points increase, its the kind of number that is just on the edge of noticablity. Granted on a Amd chip a 300+mhz is a bigger deal that on intel.

like they'd ever know... please Mr newegg i dont OC i dont even know what that means... FSB what ?!?!

cpu melt down and burn out.
power issues resulting in failure of motherboard and/or psu
related failure of multiple components as a results of psu failure.
Loss and corruption of data

All these are risks... low ones... but risks none the less

I OC'ed my CPU from 1,53GHz to 2,027GHz with an increase of about 2-4 degrees Celsius. That's almost a 500MHz OC and such a small difference in temperatures. Just make sure you blow out dust in your computer, I got almost a 10 degrees drop in CPU temperature when I blew out all the dust in my computer.

fade2green514 · 04-24-2006, 05:11 PM

wow, 2,027GHZ???? damn i didnt know they went over 7GHz.
note: you mean MHz.
also, if you read cpu101 and oc101 then you should be good to go, just dont overvolt too much.

mrjack · 04-24-2006, 06:07 PM

2,027GHz which is 2027MHz. My FSB is 175, it wouldn't boot at 185 which would have made Windows recognize it as a 2600+ and it wasn't stable at 180.

Not in most of the world
