I'd like to OC the 'ol Barton. I'd like to find the proper temp they are to run at but I would like to read the proper way to conduct air flow in the case and just the general stuff of OCing. Does anyone know of a good website or something I could read up on or if you want to post something here that would be awesome. I know how to OC, but I want to make sure I do it the right way so I won't daamge my comp.
Proper Precautions with OCing
- Thread starter Grimulus
- Start date
There's no "proper" operating temperature. It runs at whatever temperature it runs at (naturally the cooler the better)
Rule Two: 48hr burn in
Rule Three: Use some common sense.
Seriously there isnt anything to OCing .... as long as you dont make 500Mhz increases at a time and you take the time to test it out afterwards, you should be fine
Rule One: Take it slow
Rule Two: 48hr burn in
Rule Three: Use some common sense.

I've never OC'd before and Im looking to do it. I've read about it and such (my dad won't let me on anyone's computer but my own
) but I haven't had the experience. What increments should I use, and what does 48 hr burn in mean. Ocing a 2600+ to a 3200+ is fine right?
The biggest you feel comfortable taking (as long as you're not taking 500Mhz jumps that is). The smaller the better I guess.
Play with the computer for 48Hrs -- and no, benchmarking doesnt count -- it stresses the CPU but they test the CPU in very specific ways and most often many systems "pass" (with obvious exceptions) but then they "fail" when it comes to day-to-day use... run it through a few benchmarks and then actually use the system.
Should be, provided you're not running the stock cooler
