overclocking my Intel Core i7 950 3.07 GHz I know there is a lot of guides and stuff about OC but Check my specs for more info on my system. I really want to make this overclocking the right way. I OC'd my last Core duo 3.16GHz a bit but it never felt safe. So any tips or anything to get me started would be great

i`ve seen a video in Internet where the user overclocks his e2220 (that is my cpu model) from 2.4ghz to 3.16ghz. i got a question: after overclocking will i need a new cooling fan?
View 7 Replies View RelatedSimply put- RED Blue Screens. I don't know what I need to call them. THEY ARE RED! And they just reference "An error reading the instruction set" There is no STOP Error. I upgraded the Processor from AMD Athlon x2 5000+ to an AMD Phenom x4 9650. I have not overclocked it. In fact, first thing I did after installing it was reset CMOS.
I've checked for minidumps relating to this issue but there are none. I am running Windows 7 x64 Home Premium.
i had a problem n the solution from windows was this: This problem was caused by Intel display driver, which was created by Intel Corporation and is distributed by Lenovo. To solve the problem with Intel display driver, go to the Lenovo website for more information. i went there n had to find the ThinkPad version to download the compatible one.. first What's a >ThinkPad< how do i know if i even have it? n how to find it's version?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am not afraid to fry my rig but I am better at following orders from someone that has done this before than me testing and trying various changes on my bios. Do any of you, knowing my specs, want to take a gander at helping me OC my rig? I am not looking for extremes, just something to help me play games better (ie: smoother visual and better fps's). I understand if you are reluctant but, we so love to test and what better way to do so if it won't break your rig, right?

View 7 Replies View RelatedSome people are unsure on how to overclock the GPU. Quite frankly, the GPU is the easiest thing to overclock in a system. Lets start from the beginning. This will void your warranty if you have an ATI video card. The first thing I recommend is to grab some useful programs and the latest NVIDIA WHQL drivers. The programs I recommend are EVGA Precision 1.7.0 or Rivatuner (for the overclocking/monitoring), GPU-Z 0.3.3 (monitoring/GPU info), and ATItool (artifact testing). ForceWare 182.50 WHQL DriverWinXP 32 bit WinXP 64 bit WinVista 32 bit WinVista 64 bit Proper uninstallation/installation of video drivers (Vista, in XP it should be somewhat similar):Download and install Driver Sweeper or something similar. Right click on computer, click Device Manager (on left) Select your display device (video card), uninstall video device software. Delete driver folder (C:NVIDIAWinVista641xx.xx) Reboot in safe mode (repeatedly hit F8 during boot sequence). Run Driver Sweeper or your equivalent. Only clean Display driver. Reboot. Download and install your desired driver. Reboot. When installing new drivers, make sure all anti-virus software is disabled. EVGA Precision 1.7.0 Download , GPU-Z 0.3.3 Download, ATItool.26 Download , Driver Sweeper 1.5.5 Download
View 8 Replies View RelatedI just got done messing around with overclocking a little, and I'm afraid I might have be heading into trouble. How hot is too hot for a cpu to be running? Right now I'm at about an average of 53C idle And the hottest I've gotten is 57C. I just did a quick 10-min stability test from my nvidia software, and the max/min temps are 66/53C, reported on the motherboard. CPUID actually measured core#0 at 43/63C and core#1 at 43/60C.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am having a problem with my PC. It is a home built with a Gigabyte EP45T Extreme motherboard with a Intel 9550 CPU, 4 GB DDR3 Corsair ram, Gigabyte Nivida GT280 video card and 2 700GB Sata 2 drives set up in a RAID0 array. I have tried overclocking and cannot get it stable. Runs fine for a time and then suddenly starts not to POST. I have gone back to completely standard to see if I can find the problem and even with that there are issues. The drive has two Primary partitions and one extended that is devided up into other partitions. The first primary holds Vista x64 and the second is going to hold Windows Server 2008 as a demo trial..........
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have been overclocking my graphics card with RivaTuner, I decided to try nTune, I then realized I needed to adjust my GPU fan speed, but when I open nTune under the "Performance" tab there isn't any category which let's me adjust my mobo settings... I'm not sure if it is my specific video card (8400GS) or mother board (Dell RY206). But it is running VERY hot, last time I checked close to 140°F.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI just recently overclocked my cpu (Amd athlon64 3800+)stock 2.4 GHz, to 2.83GHz. I have gotten my processor up to this lvl before without facing these issues, my firefox will crash every now and then and azureus does crash every few minutes... This never used to be a problem but i may have done something wrong in overclocking this time. I have ddr400 (200mhz).*2x1gb sticks* The fsb clock is at 257mhz and multiplier is 11. I maximized the voltage for my cpu so that it can run. My dram was configured so that its at 180mhz(with overclocked cpu it is boosted back to around 200-205mhz, checked with cpu-z.) Any idea what im doing wrong or i have missed? do i need to change the voltage for my ram? I tried to change that *other multiplier thing, supposidly stock is x5, i put down to x4, no difference....

But vista wont take anything. my rig is below the stock fsb is 1333 i put it to 1350 and it still froze.

Usally just after Nod32 smart securty loads. do you think this could be the problem?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a Asus engtx 275 and was overclocking it my final clocks are 723/1404/1257 All the Quote: As far as the GeForce GTX 275 goes .. it's a pretty darn nice overclocker. We bumped the core to 743MHz vs. 632MHz standard, the shader clock is now 1605MHz vs. 1404MHz standard and the memory is running at 1282MHz (2564 effective) vs. 1134MHz standard. The above is from GeForce GTX 275 Overclock guide Yet the whole system locks out if i have the shader clock even at 1450.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have had some irritating system lockups with my computer lately and I am looking for ways to analyze the problem to see if I can pinpoint the offending application or driver. I have several mini dumps on the computer but unfortunately I don't have the tool to even open them. My computer uses an AMD Athlon dual core 64 bit processor but I'm running 32 bit Vista Ultimate. Following Microsoft's instructions I downloaded the x64 debugger file for amd processors. When I tried to install it I got a message that it is not for use on my system and I'm told to contact my processor vendor (or something to that effect).
