1.6a overclocking


Recommended Posts

Recently I got a 1.6a P4 Northwood for overclocking usage.. anyone have any experiences with it, and suggestions on voltages, fsb, etc? How high do you think I can get with the stock cooler? Should I get a Thermaltake Volcano 7+? Do I need a different motherboard then the MSI Ultra 645 (SIS)?

Thankz :D

PS : Board comes with Fuzzy Logic 3, I've never used the program before, does that automatically clock it and test it?

ok well heres a little list of heatsinks that you can use to compare

http://www.overclockers.com/articles373/

that also has a really good forum for what else but overclocking.

and here is what they have for an overclocked database for the p4 1.6a

but i wouldnt trust all those values. oh ive never used fuzzy logic either. and i dont think id go volcano. but its whatever you really want that it all boils down too. (oh and if you think your gonna get a delta and sleep with that on, well just dont be dumb and do that) oh and sorry no clue on the motherboard either.

i got my 1.6a up to 2.6ghz using stock cooling..not that stable tho.

i am at 2.4ghz at the moment..

try from 100FSB -> 133Mhz first ?

what kind of motherboard do u have ?

and yes a v7+ would help to overclock even higher...
