If I DID finally decide to OC...?
If I DID finally decide to OC...?
I've never OC'd, but is my (future) Barton 2500+ a good candidate? I don't want to push it too hard, just try OCing for the first time. My mobo is MSI KT4V. Any abvice?
These are the instructions that came with my Thermalright SLK-800 cooler:
Assembly:
The assembly gestalltet itself just as simply as with the standard Slk-800. after the foil of the base plate was removed and the processor core with thermal compound moistened, leaves one the 6-Punkt-Halteklammer in the base noses to engage. Subsequently, the radiator box is aligned centrically on the base. By means of slotted bolt turners finally the catch side of the fixing clip down pressed to these on the base engages. A strammer contact pressure develops, whereby a good waermeaufnahme is ensured. Although the additionally existing PU Schaumpads provides for a safe seat on the processor, the PC should very carefully be transported and/or the radiators before transport be developed.

According to cpu database the average overclocked speed is 2274 Mhz for that cpu. But I didn't see an MSI mobo listed. Though that just means not that many have that particular mobo.
Never had an MSI mobo but just take it in small steps and once everything is stable, increase more. If you start to have troubles you can increase the voltage, or just back it down some.
A good way to check for stabilty is to run the prime 95 cpu torture test for at least 45 minutes.
