As my sig suggests, I managed to OC my system to max possible settings with Nv system tools(el cheapo mobo bios dont come with oc options).
I reduced the HT setting in the bios to 800 to start with and used system tool to set
AMD 4000X2 - default 2100MHZ to 2625MHZ (stock cooler)
Transcend 2 X 1GB 667MHZ DDR2 to 832MHZ|
Stress tested with Orthos. And used ASUS pc probe to monitor temps
idle cpu=38,mobo=36
load cpu=55 with orthos, mobo=40
From what i gather, the OC looks safe. Or am i missing something - like is there anything else besides temps and stability in stress tests that I may have overlooked and that could potentially harm the machine?
Note that I have Cool n Quiet enabled. Does this really hurt performance?
