    I decided to further overclock my CPU (and RAM, and FSB, and....etc.)

    Might I say, I'm quite proud of myself, and my hardware.


    Intel P4 631 stock 3GHz, OC'd to 4GHz.
    FSB OC'd from 800MHz, to 1066MHz
    RAM OC'd from 800MHz (stock timing 5-5-5-15) to 1066MHz (new timing 5-6-6-17 for now)

    CPU only hits about 49C (max 51C) on average (voltage stays around 1.248 V, down from 1.313 V), which is impressive seeing as I'm using the stock cooler and thermal paste. Running a stress test on the RAM in Prime 95 and I'm not having any problems either.

    Graphics card runs pretty hot already (50C at stock settings), so I'm debating whether I'll OC it or not. Also, the fan on the GPU is pretty loud, so I might just try to find an aftermarket cooler.

    RAM is 2GB of G.Skill DDR2 800. Considering on upgrading to 4/6GB and dual booting XP Pro 64 and Vista 64 (for gaming purpouses only. Lord knows how much I hate Vista :)).


    So yeah, if you can/have overclocked your system, post your results.

        Still, this one serves a different purpouse.

            Found an awesome after-market GPU heatsink on Newegg. Gonna try and get it asap. I'm overclocking my GPU anyway right now with RivaTuner. Looks like I can get an estimated 13%-24% increase in performance.
