Lets get it up to 3.0GHz

The pc i want to overclock is listed on my signature. I know that the cpu that i have is overclocking friendly but before i start to play with it can some one please tell me if there is anything that i need. like a different cooling or something.

I use the cooling fan that came with the cpu, do i need a better cooling if i were to overclock the cpu to 3.0GHz? if the anwser depends than please point me on the right direction so i can over clock my cpu without killing it.

after i overclock it, what is the safe temp range for the cpu? at what temp should i consider a better cooling solution?

I read the 101 on this section but i don't understand it completly due to my lack of understanding of the topic and my english.

The one thing i know after reading the 101 is that overclocking should be done in a slow manner meaning little increment of the clock speed at a time. heat is a major problem and voltage too if i were to increase it when the clock speed hits roof.

Is my mobo overclock friendly?

does anybody have any knowlege or experience with this cpu/mobo?

What is the mutiplier for my CPU?

please point me to the right direction so i can learn to do it my self.

what are some of the softwares that i should have in my inventory?

thanks
 
what brand/type is your motherboard? and are you using the stock cooler of your CPU? if so, whats your CPU temp now with normal use?
 
ofcourse it is.. the basic's never change ;)
I mean.. why would the laws of physic's not apply anymore now? :o (with that im referring to clock frequenties etc ;) )

Edit: and those programs are usually updated already,. but one question.. how old is your pc? :)
 
The only thing that changes that isn't up there is 3DMark which is rereleased with minor new content periodicly. Everything else is updated at the links posted.
 
thats the mobo http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813186060

yes i use the stock fan

here are the numbers.

thats the temp when the pc just started up

System: 28c
CPU: 26c
AUX:46c
temp1: 40c

I am running my spu at 100% right now. so i am going to post the temp again after i come back from taking the exam.

that the number i get
the air is kinda cold here in maine right now so the temp may be lower than in the summer.

i just build it for fun like a week ago. my first build by the way, giving it to my brother so he can play RO II.
 
never my.

here is the temp. I don't see it going up for the last 5 mins so i think that my be the actual number in the winter. (it is very cold in the dorm since they don't keep the heat on all night.)

system 40c
cpu46
aux 49
temp1 40
 
system would be motherboard temp i gues. the CPU seems a bit on the high side, so i dont know if you'll e able to reach 3GHz.. but its sure worth a try i think :)
 
The temps are ok for the stock fan, you might want a better fan for the summer or clock it down.

I didn't really read your first post when I posted earlier...
The 805's multiplier is 20. I'm not sure if the board is OC friendly, that is to say if you exceed the point at which it will boot I'm not sure if you have to reset the CMOS or if it will softrecover.
I use CPU Burn-In to test stability. http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Benchmarks/CPU-Burnin.shtml
 
I went into my BIOs and i don't see any of these below

Multiplier
FSB
RAM Rimings
ram Speed
Ram Ration

So i looked around google and found out that my mobo's bios does not support overclocking.

But i read couple posts that said they overclocked it with the same CPU and MOBO that i am useing. I think they used some type of program to do it.

any ideas?

thanks
 
ummm

what company made your motherboard? if you can get me the website where it came from not newegg im talking about the site that made the motherboard then i can do some extra research for you
 
heres the overclocking program i use

my mobo can overclock to 3.40ghz max but my motherboard lets me overclock to 3.19ghz and i use this clockgen program to overclock it higher then that

http://www.cpuid.com/clockgen.php just open up your tower and look at your motherboard and figure out what the ics number says and its on the motherboard cuz your gonna need it in order to use this program

and there is other progams out there that you can use and when you try clockgen your have to use the ics number to tell clockgen what motherboard your using to setup so that you can overclock it while your computer is running but overclock 100mhz at a time
 
nah

not overkill now if you took it and rushed it to 3ghz thats overkill i dont do 100 mhz extactly but i go a lil under it sometimes i think i go a lil over but only like 5mhz over it but if you hear a sound coming from your speakers or anything just shut your pc off cuz hell if it sounds like fried chicken dont let it finish its course or it could end in the life of your cpu well my cpu is a celeron 3.06ghz i cant overclock higher then 3.40ghz if i try to go over that i hear that speaker noise i just mentioned

oh and if you can overclock in the bios you wouldnt have to go 100 mhz at at time i dont think you have too but raise the voltage if your computer becomes unstable in the bios or something like that ask someone on here about mroe of that cuz i cant go into futher detail being i got a gay intel motherboard that allows a 4% overclock in bios and doesnt allow you to change voltage settings
 
oh and

b4 you start overclockng and stufff id say buy one of those fans that say 3.06ghz is as the type of proccessor it handles cuz that will keep you cpu a bit cooler possibly
 
Remember that that is only 5Mhz FSB.

FSB*multiplier=clock speed; 5*20=100.

Bump the FSB up by 5 mhz until you reach 3.2 or so, then bump it up by 3mhz increments.

EDIT: bigl2007, that is an interesting way to approach overclocking :P
 
with a passive little mini cooler on the NB, i wouldent suggest going too high... what's your stock configuration on the CPU? what multiplier? and what are the highest of your settings thus far?
