OC Questions

Okay so after reading the basic info for OC i gave it a shot:

And new im left with two question:
1. How do I OC my other core
2. When should i stop OCing? (System temp is 39 C)

i really need your guys help i dont want to over do it
 
I got my Pentium D 930 (3Ghz) to 4Ghz pretty easily, but it still wasnt that good of a CPU (Core 2 Duos are much better).

Anyways, the temps are fine. I would keep going until it basically doesnt boot or becomes unstable, then you should increase the voltages slightly and/or lower the RAM speeds/timings.

What are the characteristics of a non stable pc?

What do increased voltages look like on a well OC pc?

How do i OC my other core remember only 1 is OC'd.

Random freezes, crashes, blue screens, artifacts, etc. You would know if the PC wasnt stable.

I'm not sure what you mean. By increasing the voltage you can generally overclock higher, but raise the voltages too much and you may damage your processor.

What do you mean only one core is OC'd? I have never seen a BIOS or app that allows you to only overclock one core. I'm 99.9% sure you overclocked both cores.

I think that only one of the cores is oc'd try looking at the picture a couple posts above this one.

system properties isn't exactly that good to use for checking cpu speeds during overclocking. It might be posting stock speeds for your CPU no matter what speed your CPU is going. Try downloading a program like CPUz.
 
Okay so for now this is what i got:

Was this a good OC?

Also why cant i view my other cores with cpuz?

You are misunderstanding the suituation, the 2 cores don't run seperately as far as an operating frequency goes. In programs such as CPUz and indeed in System Properties, it will only ever give you the CPU's chip frequency. This being because both cores are on the same chip, if you had 2 physical CPU's you may well be able to set them both at different speeds.

By overclocking you are affecting the entire CPU, not just individual cores.

39 degrees, but i live in hawaii. Im planning on getting ac in my room that should help. My current cpu temp is 23 c.
 
you got it to 4.4Ghz and your load speed is 39 degrees:eek:

Thats a good temp for load i say...you must have a good cooler.

nice oc.
 
39*C on a 4.4 GHz CPU, under full load? sorry.. but even with watercooling i find that pretty hard to believe.. =o phase change comes to mind tough.
