system clock increase

[cOokie_mOnster]

i'm not sure if i'm being stupid here, but in my bios i put my system clock up from 133mhz to 144mhz.

My AMDxp processor now reads in as a 2ghz instead of a 1.8.

What is the problem here. Is it dangerous e.g. heat.
and
Does it actually increase the speed of the processor.

well i belive in NOT overclocking anything and now all my parts work fine in the last year my pc has only locked ONCE !!

but it does work fine for some i have a Barton cpu and aftermarket cooler and it runs at 45-55 so not much room left for o/c

If its stable then you have just overclocked your pc.

Download something like mbm5 or similar monitoring software to check your temps. Anything over 65 under load on AMD system are too high by my liking.

As far as as know it doesn't just increase the processor, o/cing your bus increases the ram too.Whether it's stable or not depends on what cooling you've got and, well how lucky you are.

An oc of around 10% (which is what you've done) is pretty decent, all youi can do is ran a few CPU intensive programs and see what happens, if it locks, you know you've gone too far.

k well i've had a temp increase of about 2 degrees on my mobo and cpu.

I've got quiet a few fans, so i think i'll be ok.

i'm running at about 36 degrees on the mobo.
and 38 on the cpu.

Thanx for the advice, and everyone have a great EASTER!!!!!!

Try Prime95, best stability test program

What heatsink are you using? Anyways the stock heatsink will be fine for that it's such a little increase in any case, but if you are going to overclock more you must defently get a better heatsink.
