Overclocking (Main Thread) in Desktops ·
Daniel Nguyen3 said:@jimmy you're going to have to reinstall Windows
once you disable the automatic updates, you'll see the "Windows Genuine Advantage" prompt—make sure you don't install that.

I was aware that it was related to the automatic updates, though I didn't quite grasp the specifics.
Is that the feature intended to flag unlicensed software?

Windows is giving me a hard time too. Since yesterday, every single time I try to log in, I get this pop-up message saying: "you may be a victim of software counterfeiting" 🤷
I guess I'll have to perform a clean install of Windows, which is a real pain because I just finished perfectly configuring everything 😢

Eric Myers73 said:Look, I've been running into an issue since before I overclocked my e4500 from 2.2GHz to 2.93GHz:
My computer just randomly restarts out of nowhere every once in a while.

😕 Could you provide a little more detail?

You'll definitely notice it while gaming—higher FPS and smoother performance. 😉
In everyday tasks, the difference isn't quite as obvious; it's not like macOS is suddenly going to boot up in a single second. 😁

By the way, how loud is your CPU cooler running?

Go all the way and crank it up to 3GHz. 😁
You'll never get it as hot as you did with Tat.

memtest 86+ is reporting that 😉
the issue lies everywhere above that point. Even when I bump the memory voltage up to 2.2v, I can't get anything more stable than 1012.

I did a quick, experimental overclock just for kicks—I bumped the FSB up by 10MHz.
At CL5, I'm hitting 993MHz with 1.85v.

I have a quick question for anyone currently running Kingmax 1GB (PC6400) modules:
What's the maximum frequency you can push them to, and what voltage settings are you using?

As far as I can tell, the difference is only a few degrees at most.

More than that are missing, but what matters most is having the widest variety of pastes tested in a single location.

I am aware there are more. I only listed the ones from the link provided. I don't know every single paste missing from the list—there's an endless amount of them, so I won't go through listing them all here.

I don't have any OCZ Freeze, Arctic MX-4, Noctua NH-D15, or a Cooler Master MasterCase

Yes,>
It is a solid thermal paste. It's non-conductive, and because you apply such a thin layer, you can reapply it quite frequently without any issues.

Voltage does far more damage to a processor's lifespan than heat alone ever could.

That wasn't actually my point. I was just trying to show that he was pushing an Athlon to its absolute limit at 2V.

I'm not entirely sure what it is—it looks like ice, or maybe it's just... I honestly have no idea. 🤷

It's just a standard fluorescent bulb.

There’s a common consensus among enthusiasts that one shouldn't go overboard when cranking up the CPU voltage.

==> what exactly is this part at the end?

That is simply a Molex Pass-through power connector.
If you plug it into a Molex lead, you can then use that same connection for something else.

Just make sure you apply it in a very thin layer.

Joseph Carter9 said:I figured it was about time I shared an update...
Basically, I finished some minor mods a few weeks back, but life got in the way and I haven't had the chance to get the photos uploaded until now.
Since I finally ditched my DVD drive—which was honestly just taking up space—I ended up with a nice bit of extra room that I decided to put to good use. P
I also removed the Molex connector splitter (since I had an extra one lying around after removing the drive), which really helped clean up the cable management. It actually improved the airflow quite a bit; the front intake (the red one in picture 4) and the RGB fan (as seen in picture 1) now create a much more efficient main airflow through the chassis.

(I’m planning to swap out a few more parts in about a week; I just need to get through finals week first 🙂 )

He meant he wanted something that would stress it even harder than Orthos.

More coming later!

It isn't HAL 9000, but it's pretty good 👏

OT Can you even see the monitor? Isn't that neon light glaring too much in your eyes? 😬
