I actually just OC'ed mine without touching the voltage multipliers. Why shorten the life expectancy of your chip for a performance boost you'll hardly notice? I went from 2.66ghz to 3.4ghz (if memory serves). I never have lag issues unless its network related.
I'll post my settings once I stop off at home, but personally I find it worthless to push it higher than what I did already (I did previously and dialed it back). It runs pretty cool and I'm still usually the first to load into any game (SSD ftw).

i once had the case of my gf's computer open (i think i was cleaning fans or something that day) and i spilled a bottle of beer straight into it. i knocked the bottle over on the desk, and the beer just poured directly into the motherboard. no, it did not still work, hahaha

Jeroy, find out, exactly what chip you have. Please don't take any of Keyzer's advice lol
EDIT: And 47, change your settings NOW before you burn the chip/FSB on the mobo.

about the beer, sure, lol. i did link a chart so you can lookup voltages/temps for your chip. i have an athlon x2 6400, which consumsed a lot of power and runs hot compared to newer chips. its max temp is rated at around 68 but it *peaks* at 70 under load (there is some lag between the chip hitting 70 and the PWM fans compensate by increasing rpms, which bring the temp back to 68) -- sure, it would be nice if my chip ran at 58, but then, that would require a lot more cooling than i have or lower clockspeed!
at the end of the day, i think any overclocking at all is eating into the life of your system. in my case, eventually i'll just have to get a new cpu (with you guys running 930's maybe that should be soon!)

oh yeah i agree with this, i'll echo buckshot and say it again -- get it to 68 foo!!

Maybe you can treat your AMD like shit, cause well, it's shit. But you can't do that type of nonsense to an intel. Bring that bitch down to at least, under 60C. Sure, you can run it at 68, but keyzer's gonna pay $40 for his AMD but you'll pay $400 once they break down.. Either way, two very different chips.
Leroy, post your chip type, if it's Pentium D (first gen duo-core, NOT core2duo), then you might be stuck at stock.

Tcase Temp and Tjunction are two different temps.
Intel clearly states the Tcase temp.
Google Tjunction vs Tcase for more info.
If you google "i7 930 4Ghz Max temperature" there are loads of people running it at 70 under full load.
You should be fine 47 Tcase Temp is usually lower then Tjunction temp.

hey my amd still gives me love! don't buy the intel hype man.. they do great R&D, but it costs u... intel will charge you 600% more for a chip that performs like 6% better. how does that make any sense for someone who wants a fast machine? ie: save the money and get rid of your shitty archaic hard drive and put in a raid array or more ram or whatever if you want to see real-world gains. so dont bash amd.

AMD has never been/will never be as fast as (or eveen 6% slower) than Intel. I don't buy hype, I buy performance, and Intel's got it. I don't give a fuck to spend more money, I care for fast shit... and you're 100% right, who the fuck would want to spend (your estimate here) 6 times more for "the same speed" shit? About 99% of the market. Speaks for itself.
Either way, I'm actually a FAN of AMD (Canadian company, hey hey! ) - I wish one day they will finally contend with Intel and produce something note-worthy, so Intel's prices can drop, and they can go at it and end-users like us will have a great, cheaper marketplace to shop in...

amd is only very slightly lower than the comparable I7 chips and in some cases even higher. the i7 is a very good chip but the phenom 2 x4 is also a very good chip.

and as for there suposed 1% of the market you equate to AMD? well thats just wrong and the reason intel has such a large market share is the same reason IE7 is still the most used browser on the market, Microsoft backs Intel and so dose apple. but AMD is growing quickly

Athlon 64 was the best there was back in 2003. pendulum swings every other generation, same happens with Nvidia and ATI/AMD
[/quote1287604052]
Agree to a certain extent. AMD did have Intel beat for a little while. I would say that was the FIRST time that had happened to Intel (vs AMD). It may/may not happen again. I've owned CPUs by both companies...both can be pretty solid or complete shit.
