View Full Version : safe voltige on p4 s478
i just did a mod to 1.6 aparintly lol
an i got 1.920v heat it up but not unsafe idel at 31c
its a p4 1.8gh stock volt is 1.4v at stock power 2.4gh was max stable
so far at 1.9v im at 2.6gh
i only ask cus i get alot of nuts telling me if the v core is to high it shortens the life of the cpu wich i think is b.s long as u keep the temp below 50 at least i aim for under 40c of cores ther is a fry point that what i wana know how high can i go before it just cooks the cpu at power on lol
like my old celiron 1gig 1.7v that i tryed at 3.2volts died at power on no smoke nuthin just no boot an never did agean lol 2.8v was fine thow
ok 2.7gh is max but only cus this stupid gigabyte board wont let me change the ram speed down evin with easy tuner nothin lol at 2.7gh the rams trying to do 400mh

No its not funny... and you should realise that you have caused irreversable damage to the processor.
1.9V = Ur asking for a dead processor even if it doesn't get hot.
They don't instantly die, but you will see huge performance decreases if you leave it like that. DOWN THE VOLTAGE BACK TO STOCK, THE NORTHWOOD WILL NOT TAKE ANYTHING AROUND OR OVER 1.7V, THIS IS SERIOUS DO IT NOW, BECAUSE EVERY MINUTE IT IS TAKING DAMAGE
If you take what I just said as a joke, I don't even come back here and scream that your Processor died... Listen to advice from people and don't think its a joke.
k i get your point ppl but its not a comp i care about or evin run on a normal basis so let er burn i say lol i do find it funny to a point. im guna run it full time just to see how long it lasts if u know what fun is its taken a mobo thats being a bugger and my 120 volt 70amp welder an watch thows chips cook lmao or the car battrey charger at 12v 10amps lol just dont do it in side smoke bad for health an stinks like a bugger to but loads of fun. or how about taken a propain torch to a running celiron 700 an watch windows crash as the south brige chip falles off.great fun if u have that kinda time so yeah im not worryed cookin a lil p41.8 not like it exactly a fast chip eather
my old xp-3000 stock volt was 1.6v and was fine at 2.10v an 2.6gh for over a year only prob i ever had was heat
as long as u take into consideration thet the board needs work allso to compesate for the power boost
so can any one tell me the insta cook voltige or do i gota find out for my self lol?
basikly all im getting so far is dont go over 1.7 if u dont wana risk any thing
but i dont rilly care about the system so help if u can if dont dont tell me useless info pleas
an as i menchioned it took 3.2 volt to kill a 1.7volt celiron 1000mh it was running 1500mh at 2.4v for a wile but i wanted to kick it in the sack some more but i guess it was to much lol
just added fact i allso remove the caps from all p.4s i keep dont like sellin them like that but i do it for better heat trans fer some times it drop a bit some times it about the same
im a streat core to heat sink old amd guy hehe when i get my amd 4000+ caps comin off that 1 to

w/e... stop posting this stupid crap then on the forums, its offensive to some and if you go my advice is useless then keep this "lets fry a celeron" to yourself. This is a support forum, not one to show off your amazing feats. Please make some sense as well.
so how would u get help oc.ing then an its not like im the only one braggin an tellin storys an its not evin like im trying to say my comps ar better so like wtf
an all im try to say abut frying them is its a computer not something im guna cry over if it dies thats all my point was an that it took 3.2v to kill that celiron not like i did it on perpose allthow i knew it had to fry at 1 point
i only do that to rilly old stuff p1 166 boards an such
oh an that this p4 i should add its air cooled an board is stock so far is suposed to die from above 1.7v an is still running at 1.9v im not trying to afend any one but proveing ppl rong is allways a blast an if it dies in a week ill post a thanks to u guys for trying to warn me
i have loads of lil tid bits ppl would love to know like did u know theres 2-4 pins in a stock intel p4 fan that u can solder together to get it up to 5000-6000 rpm just hope to hell u can run speed fan or sumthin cus they wine good some times lol
