I have the LGA775 650 P4, and I can go to 3.95Ghz.

However, you have the 478 Prescott, which runs VERY hot compared to mine.

I would reccomend a Thermaltake Big Typhoon, I dont go past 40C @ 3.4Ghz, and didnt go past 49C at 3.95 Ghz (Both full load)

I think if you go the Typhoon, you should safely get to 3.5Ghz

You just <3 the Typhoon

 

[terminatoroy]

what would my v core have to be increased to so i can get 3.4 ghz.

You just <3 the Typhoon

what do u mean by this

dont worry, he was talking to helmie, saying that he loved the big typhoon cooler he has.

 

[terminatoroy]

does anyone know what v core needs to be increased to so i can get 3.4 ghz.

 

[dragon2309]

from 3.0Ghz up to 3.4ghz does not need a vcore boost at all, you could easily reach 3.6Ghz without touching anything other than the FSB....

when i tried 3.4ghz it worked for a bit then later it rebooted why is this. the temp was not above 50 and my vcore is 1.3 i tink

 

[helmie]

Is it working now?

Try going to 3.3Ghz, then run Prime95 for a while. If it stays stable, try 3.4Ghz again.

i tried prime95 and i got these results which i do not know what it means
