Overclocking (Main Thread)
in Desktops ·
Here’s my current rig: AMD Athlon64 3000+ (running at 2000), integrated Nvidia 6100 256, 1GB DDR2 800MHz RAM, an Asus DVD burner, and an 80GB Western Digital hard drive. 😎 It’s running fine, haven't even messed with any overclocking yet... it's pretty much fresh.
Now, about the old one: AMD Athlon XP 1800 (actually hits 1500), 512MB DDR RAM, DVD-ROM, CD burner, 40GB Maxtor, and an Nvidia 6600 GS 256. And get this—I actually tried some overclocking on it and managed to bump the processor up to 2100MHz (it was stable at 1750)... but it didn't last long. The motherboard just died on me out of nowhere. It gets power, sure, but won't boot... just keeps throwing that "CPU Fan not working properly" error. Whatever, at least I picked up a new MB.
