Imagine for a minute that you're the guy taking that picture.
You mean the fact that it's in the air?
Did anyone else sit there looking at that thinking: What's the big deal... and then after about 10 seconds realise exactly what the big deal was?!
I was thinking that, till I overclocked my barton 2500 to 3200 (from 333 FSB to 400) without it breaking a sweat (cheapo copper based heatsink). All it took was a few voltage adjustments and it has been working perfectly for the last few months (prime number tests, no overheating etc).
known as Carlos the Care Bear? That rascal is wanted in four states. Has a knack for leaving his victims in humorous poses
I'm read so many threads where a game will act up, and the first thing support says is "don't overclock". Not sure if that's legit
Still you have to think about your legend. Carlos the Jackal works. Carlos the Care Bear?
and my CPU temperature varies by ~2 degrees C tops between "idle" (all CPU being consumed by distributed computing process)
Of course, I stopped OC'ing years ago. The benefits are so slim nowadays as to be useless IMO.
You need a better heatsink methinks.We/I was talking about a P4 with a factory heat-sink over-clocked. And of course when telling someone something it is always best to assume the worst, like say poor case ventilation causing it to be even higher.
And it will get at least 20ºF hotter then at idle.
