Hi there, i have be recently overclocking with my:
Mainboard : Gigabyte P31-DS3L
Chipset : Intel P31/P35
Processor : Intel Pentium XE 925 @ 3000 MHz
Physical Memory : 2048 MB (2 x 1024 DDR2-SDRAM )
Video Card : ATI Technologies Inc RADEON X1650 SERIES
Hard Disk : Maxtor (251 GB)
DVD-Rom Drive : HP DVD Writer 640b ATA Device
Network Card : Realtek Semiconductor RTL8168/8111 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC
Operating System : Windows Vista (TM) Ultimate Professional 6.00.6001 Service Pack 1
I managed to get my 3.ghz Intel D processor to 4.0ghz, now what im confused about is is Intel D processor just a Intel Core Duo 2? How come vista, and my processor name is called Pentium D but "PC Wizard 2008" detects it as a XE, i havent even heard of that. Also When overclocking a Dual core processor are both the speed suppose to change or just one?
Another thing i noticed is that when i overclock my CPU my Ram freq seems to go up aswell.
I only realised the benifits of that thermal paste thing when i found it in my cpu box and tried it. When i was at 3.90ghz (OC) my CPU would be at like 70*c, now at 4.05Ghz its at 41*c
Thanks for reading
