| [OC] O/C a P4 540/J for a speed increase? I have an spare P4 system that is custom built. How can I O/C the CPU from 3.2Ghz up enough to get a speed boost and not damage the processor?
I can change the Host Clock setting from 200MHz, DDR voltage and AGP voltage. I have a standard LGA775 heat sync with a fan mounted on top and a 120mm rear fan on my case. The multiplier is locked at 16.
Any ideas? I don't really want to spend any money at this old technology which is all EOL. |

| One time I antecedently O/C the CPU to 5Ghz with the stock cooler by increasing the host frequency up to (I don't remember, it was above 205). I rebooted and saw the CPU line 'Pentium 4 at 5ghz' and I put it back to normal quickly as possible. |

Would 3.28Ghz be ok? It's not much but my games to run more smooth vs the standard 3.2Ghz. |

| What would the max cpu speed be for my standard HSF?
Would 3.30Ghz be to hot? I better first try 3.28Ghz? |

Hard call on max speed with standard HSF. You need temp monitoring software. Google is your friend. |

| For over clocking what do people use for benchmarking and temp monitoring software? |

Try PC Wizard for one. It is free. Everest is another, but they changed its name and it costs money. |
