XtremeX Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 Your processor may burn out. check AMD.com for more information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JnCoKiLLa Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 if you overclock it to much either it will burnout or.......you will be forced to pull the CMOS battery on the board because you went to high and now it won't turn on.... all the OC' site and then some have never gotten the 2200Xp over 400mhz that was with Liquid O2 Or Nitrogin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keldyn Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 We have an Overclocking forum. How about that?:rolleyes: Thread Moved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy_Seb Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 Funny thing is that the Vulcano 7 is rated upto XP 1800+ CPUs. So your CPU should definately need better cooling. With that heatsink, you better dont o/c, you could end up with a $300 keychain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
username Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 what is it with this site and the Volcanos 7s and Dragon orbs.... yeah they get the job done for basic cooling but no OCing, well you can but you are pushing your luck Also, overclocking the 2200+ is not going to give you any more extra performance that you will notice Did you end up getting $1000 for that computer that you tried to sell?
