Ok...........I decided to overclock. Now I know I should have used the pencil trick to unlock the multiplyers on my thunderbird. I decided not to because it was to much of a risk to remove my heatsink and risk cracking the core. I was in my bios just now and I decided to bring up my bus speeds. I'm currently running 136. I'm afraid to bring it up any higher but then I see some people running it at 150!!! What do you think I should raise it to? I do know that overclocking the bus puts stress on all compenents. I know someone who killed there hard drive by overclocking the bus. 3Mhz may not be alot but because its DDR its actually 6Mhz. Is that alot? What is alot?
Also when loading up quake 3 for some stability tests it loaded SOOOOOOOOOOO slow. As of now I don't really notice any improvements system wise. After I finish my overclock I'm really looking forward to breaking the 7000 barrier in 3dmark I'm at 6944. I'm almost positive I'll break it. Anway thanks for any advise.
