Overclocking p4 with Intel DCC

RTilbury · Dec 10, 2004, 08:18 AM

I have a p4 2.8ghz HT 800fsb Northwood. I use a Zalman cnps7000, i think thats the model. Its the large flower like all copper heatsink. I used the DCC to increase my cpu by 4%. It raised it to 2.91ghz, and gave me like 832 fsb. It gave me a few hundred more points in future mark, which i am happy about.

My question is this. MY idle is around 33-36c, max load after running the system strain test from intel i get 45-47C. Are these ok temps? I have no idea what temps are normal or safe. Please help.

I am also a little confused on what these numbers mean, and what the should be.

agp - 69
pci - 35

What are these numbers?

they are fine but id recommend u not overclock too much higher. And for a all copper heatsink well geeze those sure are some high temps for it. My 2.8c @ 3.2ghz under heavy load maxes out at 36C and idle 30C. I forgot what cooler i have but it has a copper core and 5600rpm fan, using artic silver 5 with it too.

AGP and pci numbers u found probly are the FSB of your AGP alot and pci slots. AGP 8x defualt should be 66mhz and pci should be 33mhz.
