[spanishprincelw]

:confused: Hello my friends...i have a pentium 4 2.4 ghz cpu i overclocked it too 3.0 and my cpu temps didnt change at all, as u can see in the pic that i attached to this thread its 21c/69f....did it really over clock, o and another question when i raise the voltage on my cpu what am i realy doing 2 it?....thanks:shoot3:

grrrr.....im havin a problem uploading the pic

Use Sandra SiSoft from www.guru3d.com
or CPUZ from www.cpuid.com
or just right click on My computer and see what Ghz Windows is giving you udner Properties.

Volatge increase is exactly what it says, increasing the coltage running through the chip. This increases heat output, but can make a chip run more stable in an overclocked enviorment. A better explanation can be found in our overclocking guides here at TT.

i right clicked my computer and went to the properties and is say pentium 4 2.4ghz, but i used cpuz and it say 3006.81mhz....

check your cpu temps in bios after 1 hour of running

[Soulburner]

Tell me, how high did you set the voltage?

It should not need an increase at all to reach 3.0 stable.

My temps didn't increase either, but yours is certainly not 21c unless you are in a room that has approx. a 0c ambient temp, aka Igloo.

wut voltage should i set it to? on defualt its 0.0875...

[Soulburner]

No, on default its 1.525v.

[spanishprincelw]

hmmm well my mobo saying that, 0.0875 is the default, my mobo is gigabyte 8IPE1000 PRO, if it is wut u say wut should i change it to, i decided to lower my cpu speed too 2.8

[Soulburner]

That would give you 1.61v.

Probably not needed for 3.0Ghz. You should be able to do that at stock.

i right clicked my computer and went to the properties and is say pentium 4 2.4ghz

Yeah, thats not the speed, thats just info about your CPU. Under my Properties tab, I have 2.6Ghz First(Retail Speed) and then underneath it I have 3.0Ghz(which would be the overclocked speed.: peace2:

YAY got it working ( THANKS ) now for another question can someone suggest me a program that deplays cpu temps ?..thanks again:cheers:
