well after overclocking my cpu in any which way i could think of, i think i have hit a wall at 2.3ghz.. not sure what it is or what problems i have got, but nah not to worry.. just got to try and save up for a nf7-s and see if that makes any difference, along with another xp1700 cpu.. im chancing my luck as i would like to see 2.5ghz, but i doubt i will.. i have been trying voltages up to 1.875v but for very limited periods, ie right up until the pc crashed!!
right now its running at 11 x 205fsb and its doing ok i think, i just wish i could get more out of it, im aiming for 18000 3dmark points and im about 400 off!! its so annoying!!
i might well look into it, i have seen a water cooler for about £70... but im not sure what to do.. i dont think i could have the confidence putting it together!! although my 9700 is crap at overclocking.. only goes to 373/333 and anything higher crashes the system out.. rather annoying!! heres a link to the water cooler i was talking about.. what you think?
