Re: clocking a socket 478 Pentium 4

Just don't go past the motherboard's limit. If it's staying cool that's fine. My question to you: Is it really making it that much faster? I use to have an old one until I upgraded to this computer, and I used it to make a small computer for my mom to have at home and I was thoroughly impressed with it's performance with a new motherboard and a much better case. Highest temps I've seen are 29º C. That's at 3.00 GHz and I've thought about running it at 3.4 but in my old computer it never made much of a difference, and that's even with 1 gig of ram.

I might be wrong but the main thing is with those Pentium's they like to run hot, and if you're overclocking that much and not getting significant heat gains then why not, but if you're not gaining much performance, is it worth it?
