D LANG TEMPERATURE NG CPU ANG PROBLEM SA OVERCLOCKING.
MARAMI NANG NAKA-EXPERIENCE NG HANG-UPS AND SYSTEM CRASHES WITH OVER CLOCKING.
yup qbert. who mentioned anyway that temperature is the only concern whenever you overclock?
before anybody would like to try overclocking, you must at least consider the following:
1. put additional or modify the existing cooling solution. whenever you overclock your processor, consider cooling also the northbridge chip and the voltage regulators. same with the memory and the GPU. although i have a FX5500 videocard which runs on stock GPU core 270MHz and DDR RAM 333MHz in which i have successfully overclocked to GPU core 298MHz and DDR RAM 430MHz without additional cooling.
2. not all hardware are overclockable or suitable for overclocking. consider multipliers, PCI-E/AGP/RAM/FSB locks, memory timings/values/types, etc. the motherboard plays a very important here by providing the necessary and extra overclocking features. also as an example, and NVidia 6200 (128-bit) is on the NV43 GPU chip while a NVidia 6200A (64-bit) is on the NV44 GPU. you cannot overclock the latter. so you see, not al are overclockable.
3. one may need to increase the voltage requirements of the device to be overclocked for a more stable operation. some can be simply done thru the BIOS setup/software means, but others need hardware modifications like shorting/jumpering/penciling/etc. also, the powersupply unit should be able to handle the power requirements of the overclocked system.
so again, overclocking is OK as long as one knows what he is doing. then again, experts started as beginerss too.
just remember the risks involved in the process... you tend to lessen the workable life of the device being overclocked and you would definitely lose the warranty whenever you overclock.
so... happy overclocking.
