Silent 4 GHZ
-
I just overclocked my Pentium IV 3.4 up to 4 Ghz. By putting an extra big (silent) fan inside the case blowing air on both the memory chips and the cpu I was able to also turn off the cpu fan and by that making the computer practically soundless. The graphics card is using passiv cooling so it is also silent. Would be interesting to know if anybody else here are over-clocking their computers and how much? jhaga --------------------------------- Every generation laughs at the old fashions, but follows religiously the new.

You can't possibly be using a stock CPU heatsink, then, are you? It is astonishing that your CPU is not bursting into flames. Rich

Under heavy load (like running a cpu tester) the temperature goes up to 60°C /140 °F and then the cpu fan is set to kick in but not before. But normal temp is 40°C /100 °F [edit] The heat sink is the one that came with the CPU [/edit] jhaga --------------------------------- Every generation laughs at the old fashions, but follows religiously the new.

A64x2 3800 OCed from 2.0 to 2.4gig with stock cooling and a voltage boost. At 70F ambiant it runs at ~55-60C at full load. Vs ~40C at stock. I've got an H20 kit I'm planning to install on the weekend. I'll probably be able to get annother 200mhz or so out of it with the upgrade.
