That's the advantage of ordering a Dell. You wouldn't have to worry about such things.

CsH · Answer

Yeah, thanks for advice, you got alot of experience whit overclocking? Like, you think I could keep the cpu for long if I just clock it to 2.6? CsH.

CsH · Answer

yeah, a lil overclocking:D Just have to wait till the shop get the 92x92mm fans I ordered:D But, I was wondering, is it possible to get the ram to 3200 speed? a guy mentioned it, but..?

bdomz · Answer

yeah it's possible.  No guarantee though.  It's kinda the luck of the draw, you might get a great stick or a dud.  You could always relax the memory timings a bit to get more Mhz out of it.   Check out the forums at overclockers.com for info on how to do this.

bdomz · Answer

looks good to me CsH. That's a real nice board and great memory. Looks like you're planning on overclocking, am I right? You should be able to hit 3.06ghz no problem. Try that with a Dell.

good luck!

CsH · Answer

hehe.. I got my Dell Dimension 4100:D Gonna use it as secondary computer:D

CsH · Answer

ok:) I got 4470 points altogether whit my dell dimension 4100:D 1000mhz 128sd ram and 5400rpm hd:D (all points in cpu, hd and ram counted together) Please, let me know:D   CsH.

CsH · Answer

Ok, I was thinking about that me too, but :D since p4pe got 6 in mark and 6 is best compared to abits 5 so...:D

I probarly try not to go over 1.7.. dont want ruined components:D but what score you got in pcmark? whit your cpu?

bdomz · Answer

Just ordered an Abit BH7.      I'd keep the vcore as low as possible, definitely under 1.7.  See how high you can get at stock settings then push the voltage a little.  And keep an eye on your temps.

bdomz · Answer

havent OC'd much yet with my current CPU.   I got it with an Intel brand board so you can't overclock much.  I should get my BH7 this week and some Kingston Hyper-x memory so I'll probably have a little fun testing this setup later this week.    I'll let yah now how I do.

CsH · Answer

ok, what motherboard do you got? I dont think I walk the line if i dont go over 1.75vcore?

bdomz · Answer

I've only done some mild overclocking myself.  But I just ordered a better motherboard and memory so I'm gonna have a little fun.  I've been reading up on the subject alot lately.   You can definitely run your CPU at 2.6 and not worry about significantly shorter CPU lifespan.  I think you start to run into problems when you increase the voltage too much.   Besides I'm only hoping to get 1 or 2 years out of my CPU.  By then it'll be horribly outdated.
