First Overclock

[dynoman]

I just did my first overclock and have my [email protected].
These are my settings in the bios.
Clock Ratio:9x
Frequency:366mhz
cpu vcore voltage: 1.45

do this settings sound right?

My idle temps with intel tat:
Core0:33-35C
Core1:32-35C

Im running two prime95(one for each core)
temps:
core0:56C
core1:55C

does everything sound right?

look for your CPU there and if its higher it may be bad, lower good. looks OK to my opinion though.

don't overclock cpu

don't overclock cpu. doing that your cpu lifetime is shorter

It doesn't look too bad. Are you using the stock cooler?

True, but it becomes obsolete before dead, in most cases.

lolaraa

given that the electronic life is much longer than the useful life there is no great loss

How much does the cpu lifetime loose? about?

There is not rule how much will your over clocked cpu live. Maybe will die tomorrow maybe never . Go to your first computer service and they will tell you the same . But general reason of dieing cpus is over clocking.
I know this because I worked in computer service .

The very early death of a CPU is caused by ignorant overclocking, not our type of overclocking FYI .. Most problems are caused by heat and instability. As long as you know what your doing and don't ratchet up the voltage like a maniac and keep the system stable you won't kill your chip.

A Good overclock may remove a year or two off a decade lifespan, which is the average life of a CPU.
