Just hit that CMOS reset jumper on the motherboard and boom—everything's back to factory defaults.😉

Honestly, most decent boards just reset the BIOS settings themselves if you push things too far (at least my MSI board does).

And if you don't feel like poking around the hardware, just pull the plug from the wall for a minute, plug it back in, and the PC should boot right up using the default BIOS settings.

The voltage bump isn't even massive—we're talking less than 1% here. It won't kill your CPU, though it does run a little warmer. But honestly? The stability you get in return is well worth it.

If anyone’s looking to overclock their Intel chips, hit me up in the DMs. I’m happy to walk you through the process and help you squeeze some extra speed out of your rig. 👍

I haven't messed around much with AMD stuff, though.😢

Tyler Lee57 said:I'm itching to overclock my system. Never done it before, so I could really use some guidance...

Here’s the starting lineup:

CPU: Pentium 4 2.4 GHz (hyperthreading) (FSB 800)
Mobo: Abit IS7 series
RAM: 1x512 generic
GPU: ATI Radeon 9200, 128mb (total junk)
And most importantly, the cooler: Zalman 7000, just installed yesterday 🙂

That should be enough info for now... So, what's next?

Oh, forgot to mention—I don't want to go crazy right away. Just a little bit at first.

Alright.

If you see the option, disable Spread Spectrum in your BIOS.
Keep the memory locked at 400 MHz.
Set AGP to 66 MHz.
Set PCI to 33 MHz.

Your CPU should handle up to an FSB of 250 without bumping the voltage—meaning 1.525V. That gets you to 3 GHz.

Personally, I’d suggest jumping straight to a 266 MHz FSB and bumping the voltage to 1.5625V. That puts you at 3.2 GHz.
If that runs stable without Windows crashing on you, try dropping the voltage back down to 1.5V.

Anything beyond that requires more voltage.

To hit 3.42 GHz (FSB 285), you’re looking at at least 1.575 V.

For 3.6 GHz (FSB 300), you’ll need 1.6 V (though it was unstable for me).

I haven't pushed past that, and I'm not going any further without water cooling.

If you have questions, just shoot me a PM.

The movie is so full of glaring mistakes that it’s honestly not even worth pointing them out.

I'd just play Zyklon B.😬 😵

Everything makes sense now. Sending you a massive 🙂 and 😘 to show my support 👍

Nah, you didn't hurt my feelings. Thanks for the support 👍 and to you 🙂 and😘.
Sending my best to you and your cousin.👍

It's been a long time since people used to be sedated constantly... and things like Praxiten are just sedatives.

You treat depression with antidepressants and therapy; you take sedatives only when you actually need them.

amberorca192, seriously, if 50 mg of Valium isn't enough to "calm you down," then you clearly need something else... are you even seeing a psychologist or a psychiatrist?

I see a psychiatrist, though not as much lately because I've been feeling way better.
I read that thread you started about your relative, so I figured you get what this is like.
I can just list my diagnoses for you:

OCD
Bipolar disorder
Schizoid personality disorder
Acute schizophrenia

As for the meds I've taken or am still on:

Valium, Xanax, Lexapro, Tegretol, Amisulpride, Zyprexa,
Nozinan, Stelazine, Clozaril, Haldol, etc.

My condition has improved over the last two years so much that I rarely touch the heavy stuff anymore; benzos usually do the trick.
On the rare occasions they don't, I'll take 200-300 mg of Stelazine or 50 mg of Clozaril, which is basically nothing compared to what I was on before.

I'd rather not talk about it anymore.😢

So, I flicked on the radio yesterday around 9:30 PM, tuned into 101, and they were just looping that live album of theirs until about 10:15 PM.
I can't tell you the exact minute they started playing it on 101, though.

Harold Gomez65 said:Yeah, 👍 plus I love how she just shuts him down whenever he asks about the prices. She just hits him right where it hurts. 😁
The movie's alright, though (Ben Affleck kind of gets on my nerves 🙂).

That Esflek just has to ruin everything.😁 🙂

The CPU is killing it right now, but the RAM is totally holding me back.
My memory speeds in AIDA look pretty pathetic.
I guess I’ll have to mess around with settings until I can grab some new DDR500.

If I drop that DDR500 down to 400 MHz and tighten up the latencies, things might actually get interesting.

Once that's done, I'll post the results from this junker.😎

For me, nothing beats that scene where Alanis walks out of the church at the end, tries to nail a handstand against a tree, and just wipes out on the first attempt.😂😂

So, I picked up a new big tower case this past Friday. Packed it with six fans to keep the airflow moving, and now I can finally push my overclocked CPU even further.

The processor is a Pentium 4 2.4 GHz.
Up until now, I had it sitting at 3 GHz on stock voltage, with the memory clocked at 500 MHz.

Once I tried to crank the frequencies higher, the CPU wouldn't budge without bumping up the voltage.

Increasing the Front Side Bus meant I had to raise the voltage while simultaneously dropping the memory speed.

I actually had to dial the memory back to 333 MHz because the system kept crashing, and I had to bump the voltage from 2.6V to 2.75V.
The best stable settings I could squeeze out of the memory were 2.5-3-3-6.
Once I grab some Kingmax 500 MHz sticks, I'll have a bit more room to play.

Anyway, here are the overclocking results.

Front Side Bus at 300 MHz, which puts the Pentium 4 2.4 GHz at 3.6 GHz (running at 1.6V).🙂

I gotta say, that Cooler Master is doing its job just fine.👍

Jesus Quintana said:I think Praxiten works just like Valium.

Well, yeah, they have the same effect since they're both benzos.
Personally, I prefer Valium. Honestly, Valium, Diazepam, and Normabel all have the same active ingredient, though Valium is my go-to. Problem is, my local pharmacy can't keep Valium in stock lately, so I've been stuck taking Apaurin along with a bunch of other meds (not that I want to list them all).

If you can manage without them, honestly? Don't take them.
I've been on them forever because I have to, but man, I'd much rather be able to function without them.😢

Today’s been rough. I popped 50mg of Apaurin this morning and it barely did anything, so now I'm looking at taking another dose just to settle down.
My nerves are shot and my mental state is just trash.😠 😢

Nike said:just try taking off the makeup ☕

fantastic !
😂😂😂👍

Just shave your face for three or four days straight, skip your meals, lose some sleep, and boom—you’ve dropped three pounds (maybe even more!).😁

Benicio Del Toro.

Sean Wilson3 said:I think I saw that 5'6" figure somewhere too. Next time, we should probably just watch the scenes where he's standing next to someone else—assuming he isn't wearing lifts like Sly Stallone.

Word on the street is he learned how to levitate, so his height just changes whenever the director needs him to match the rest of the cast.😁

So, what’s actually going to change in your life once you find out how tall he is? 🤔

Honestly, everyone should just go take their own lives right now; it’s probably the only way they could actually show some real respect to Cobain.🙂
