Well, been OCing my p4 3.2, passed stability test at 215x16 @ 1.550V, so i changed fsb to 220. TSC ran for 2 hours before system rebooted, so i changed voltage to 1.565V and am trying again.
Am i goin about this process right? Wish it wasn't so tedious (stress test for 8 hours pretty much means I can only make 1, maybe 2 adjustments a day).

It depends...what's TSC? Most people seem to like Prime95 to stress test the system...& TOAST to test the CPU. I would run Toast for 20 min to max out the temp...then Prime95 for one complete series. If it passes both, push it a little farther & run em again. Once you've reached what you consider to be your max setting, run Prime95 for several hours...
Summary: so i'm overclocking my p4 3.2ghz processor, and somewhere around 3.6ghz (after an increase in voltage) i'm still slightly unstable. Now my mobo (gigabyte GI8IK1100) has been automatically increasing t...

Summary: Thanks jam!! That is the type of thing I have been looking for! A chart that compares the performance of intel and AMD CPUs. Maybe I won't get a AMD that is as good as the best Core 2 Duo but I can ge...
