i'm using a P5WD2 without mods
well my watercooling has 52 degres water when i put 1,55V on core, cpu 77 degres an throtteling... i need dry ice :p
infrared got his P4 up to 5GHz using a Swiftech Apogee. Looked into that?

Hey guys. I just got a D 920 and a D865GSA board.

What can I safely OC the processor to on a stock cooling system? And which settings do I change in BIOS?

This is the somewhat boring part, but it will take much less time than someone explaining it:
http://www.overclock.net/intel-cpus/1567-intel-overclocking-guide.html

As far as your board:
http://www.overclock.net/intel-motherboards/7297-definitive-answer-can-i-overclock-my.html

Safety IMO: Don't let your processor go over 60c, if you are serious about OCing, get a good aftermarket cooler (ask some of us @ TPU). Vcore: don't change it unless you know what you're doing. Other than that, you will be hard pressed to hurt your computer hardware by OCing.

Upgrades: If you are serious about OCing, get a new mobo that will allow you to OC (again, ask some of us @ TPU).

Im that same way man, I don't think your processer should go over 60c even though people say it can go hoter...If you want a good cooler, the thermaltake bigtyphoon vx looks to be a great one.... Also many of the artic cooling CPU coolers...

I cannot overclock at all on this mobo? Even to 3.2gigs?
You will have to check, but if you look in the bios you'll be able to tell for sure. Look under CPU for FSB settings, should be at 200 stock. If you can change that number, or your multiplier, or your FSB:RAM ratio, or OC your RAM, all those options will be in your BIOS. You just hold DELETE, or F2, or whatever it tells you when you boot up to enter the BIOS. If you look around and don't see any of the previously mentioned settings, then no you can't OC it from your BIOS. You board is an Intel Desktop board, it's designed for workstations, not for performance use. It's not that it's a bad board or anything, it just was never designed to OC a processor.

You can still try OCing it with software, but that's messy and unreliable and I don't use it myself.

Awesome info.

What programs are popular for OC'ing if your FSB is locked?

Alright, after much waiting... here they are :D It's 5:00AM here now :p
I'm not very good at hiding wires, any comments/tips are welcome.

3.75 for sure, but didn't push it much when I found that 3.5 was stable. If I want it higher and stable, it's gonna take hours of testing, which I don't have time for right now. :ohwell:

Yeah, I would try it too, but I almost beat my computer with a hammer when I had to install my OEM cooler and then that AC Freezer 7 Pro... I hate the whole setup that is used for 775 coolers, it's so freakin sloppy. It feels like the "push-pins" are made at Walmart, and I can never get that satisfying "CLICK" I want to hear on all 4 of them. Then half the time they come turned the wrong way, so I try and try to push them in, then realize in frustration I need to spin them the other way, by then the cheap plastic has bent, leaving me with a sick "I hope this doesn't come off" feeling in my stomach. Then again, maybe nobody else has problems............ anyone? :eek:

yeah, i had the same probs on my p4 stock cooler. The freezer 7 pro's never been a prob for me tho.

It's much better with waterblocks... on my new Swiftech Apogee you have to put long screws up from underneath the board, and secure them with nuts on the top of the board, the the waterblock goes on, and is held down with hard springs and a nut that go over the screws on top. There is no chance at all of that coming loose :D

Success w/ MSI Board

Hate to bump a semi-old thread, but I found this to be a good discussion. I've reviewed a good portion of what you guys have wrote so far and have enjoyed it.

I recently purchased a Pentium D 930 and have paired it with an MSI board (P4N Diamond). I'm beginning to wonder if I made a good choice with MSI or not. I really love their boards and this one was out of sight when I bought it - got it on Newegg (open box) for like $85 (retails for ~$220) so I jumped on it.

I've been using MSI's CoreCenter to OC my processor, but so far I have only been able to get up to 3.2GHz stable. This was done by simply changing FSB up from 200MHz (stock) to 215 or so. Once I get up to 220+, system locks and reboots.

Can't really see any huge leap in CPU temp - never gets over 40 deg. thanks to the Zalman cooler. I'm beginning to think it might be the cheap memory I've got, but then I've seen others who have the same Corsair Value RAM and have had success with the same chip. The only difference then is the board.

Anyway, does anyone have any experience with MSI boards? Any hurdle's I should know about? I'm going to try a few other things this weekend - including tweaking the voltage a bit. Maybe that will help.

Just want to bad to see the 4.0GHz mark - I know it can be done!!!!
