Guest Wolfeymole Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 The time to get into overclocking Wardy is when you HAVE plenty of money as your on dodgy ground when trying to squeeze every last ounce out the system. Personally I hate overclocking but others may be in to it, stick around mate and find out. Quote
maynardvdm Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 I dont like overclocking too. I've heard it shortens the life of the CPU but dont know if this is true.

JEBWrench Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 Nah, Maynard, increasing the voltage to critical components beyond factory recommendations is completely harmless. :D Modding seems kinda interesting sometimes, though. I recall one PC World magazine that had a case mod to turn your functional PC into a functional PC/coffee maker. Quote Need help with your computer problems? Then why not join Free PC Help.

AdvancedSetup Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 Case modding is a personal taste/choice (a lot of money for nothing more than a look so it's not for me) Overclocking (similar to Wolfey) unless you have a TON of extra cash you're not using (for when you burn up a component and it's not covered under warranty any more due to your overclocking) and a lot of patience (hundreds of reboots to tweak and test, tweak and test configuration changes) then not something to get in to.

maynardvdm Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 Depending on the size of the cup. I remember when i was in england going to a starbucks and those coffees are so big and the sugars so small i had to put 8 of those packets. :D Quote We are all members helping other members.

DSTM Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 At home I generally take 2, however in Coffee Shops here,I have to take 4,at least. Quote Confidence, is the feeling I get, moments before I stuff something up.
Guest Wolfeymole Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 Hey Wardy The fun time that can be had with over-clocking. Take a look buddy. http://extremetechsupport.com/forum/t2009-graphics-card-dying Quote
maynardvdm Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 I will agree that it is time for a new card as I reckon your over-clocked card is now over-cooked. ROFL. That is excellent. How would you like your CPU sir, Well done :D Quote We are all members helping other members. Please return here where you may be able to help someone else.
