I've got Everest on my computer which is showing that my CPU core voltage should be 1.40v. Is this the optimal voltage my CPU should be receiving to work? If its over, what would the effect actually be.

Bah! I thought it was AMD based on the voltage alone...\nchecking Intel now...\n\nBased on every 3.4GHz CPU I could find on Intel's website, your voltage is within range. Intel specifies an operating range of 1.25-1.40v for most, and up to 1.525v for some.

ah there correct but 10% us okay to overclock maximum is about 20%... but i warn you if you overclock your cpu or your comptuer warranty will be cut off and it wont exist anymore for you.... here i can give you all the info. you need hold on....\n\n\n\n\nPC Hardware: Free Speed: Overclocking Your PC\nPerformance Boosting Basics\nWant a free speed boost for your computer? Try a little overclocking--an enthusiast trick that PC tweakers have been using for years to get free speed out of their systems. Many of today's CPUs can run faster than they're rated to do, and getting that added performance is simply a matter of carefully changing some settings. Overclocking won't turn an ancient PC into a powerhouse, but it can help you squeeze every drop of performance out of your machine.\nTwo variables set the speed at which your CPU runs: the system bus speed, and the CPU's clock multiplier. To determine the CPU's actual operating speed, those two values are multiplied together. For instance, a bus speed of 100 MHz and a multiplier value of 5.5 translate to a CPU running speed of 550 MHz. This simple formula works with most Intel Celeron, Pentium II, Pentium III, and Pentium 4 chips, as well as with AMD chips.\nSome motherboard and CPU combinations let you change one or both of those variables, setting a new speed for the CPU. Boost either setting and you're officially overclocking. In my experience, most CPUs and motherboards will run fine when overclocked 10 to 20 percent faster than the rated CPU speed. The bus speed setting may also affect the speed of the PCI or AGP bus, depending on which chip set the motherboard uses and how that chip set connects to all of the subsystems on the board.\nThe trick to overclocking is in knowing when to stop. Crank up the speed completely beyond the operating limits of the CPU, system bus, or RAM, and the PC will crash or freeze a lot. If you've set the clock too high on a system that holds the clock settings in BIOS, it may fail to boot, and you'll have to use the PC Setup program to reset the clock settings stored in CMOS RAM. (In some cases, you may have to reset the CMOS RAM more directly: Either remove the CMOS memory retention battery, typically a button-style cell, or move a jumper on the system board; that jumper is often marked 'clear CMOS'.) If your PC uses switches or jumpers to set clock and multiplier values, you'll simply need to reset them to a slower speed.\n\nCPU Overclocking the Easy Way\nThe PC Setup program screen in Figure 1 is from an Abit KA7 motherboard that offers lots of overclocking controls when the CPU Operating Speed is set to 'User Define'. The CPU FSB/PCI Clock setting also affects the speed of the PCI bus. I have found that most PCI cards will overclock about as well as the average CPU does.\nOverclocking the AMD Athlon XP+ 2600 processor on my ECS KT-600A motherboard involves just one setting. The multiplier in the Athlon XP+ 2600 processor is fixed at 11.5, allowing a CPU speed range between 1910 MHz (166 x 11.5) and 2288 MHz (199 x11.5). The Athlon XP+ 2600 runs at 1900 MHz typically, but the chip I tested worked well when overclocked to 2200 MHz.\nCPU Overclocking by the Bits\nBefore designers made CPU speed settings changeable via software, switches or jumpers on the motherboard controlled the speed. You'll find this arrangement typical of early (3 to 4 years old or older) AMD, Pentium I and II, and Celeron boards. Over clocking with switches and jumpers works in the same way as using settings in PC Setup: You simply increment the multiplier and bus speed settings to speed up the processor until you find a reliable running speed.\nThe CPU clock speed setting also affects the AGP bus speed on this board. Other motherboards use DIP switches (Figure 4) for both the CPU clock speed and the multiplier settings.\nVideo Overclocking Made Easy\nMost of the overclocking buzz is not about turning a PC into a superco

It says on the case of my Doom 3 that the minimum cpu requirement is P4 1.5GHz or Athlon XP1500+...\nAre you sure you're not running it on your P4?  \nFess up, you've mixed your machines up - too many late nights on Y! Answers.\n\nI wonder if downgrading the resolution possibly puts some additional loading on the cpu - it has the overhead of conversion from the "natural" resolution?  On a lower power cpu (and in this context the P3 qualifies) the cpu then becomes the bottleneck.\nThe 9250 is fairly recent and although not fast, I think it has full hardware  support for directX9.0b. \nSo I'm speculating that even with medium quality 1024x768 it's the cpu that's limiting the system - but as it's not having to tweak the graphics it' actually has less to do.\n\nIt would be interesting to know how the 9250 compares to the 9550 you appear to have fried last week...

On a lot of processors of that era, a heatsink should be fine. You can certainly strap a fan on it. I'd monitor temperature with a free temperature monitoring program, if your motherboard and processor support that. Being that it's an older Gateway, it's quite possible that it doesn't have the proper sensors for this.\n\nDon't quote me on this, but I don't believe that processors began to be super heat demons until the last 3-4 years. For instance, I inadvertantly used to run my Pentium-100 without fan OR heatsink for over a year. I simply didn't know about those technologies when I got my first Pentium-based computer.

I've checked the spec on your motherboard and it has a socket 939 processor. You have a relatively high spec piece of kit and I am surprised you do not have a fan controller panel.\n\nPersonally I would ditch your current CPU cooler and install something better. I have provided a link to a suitable good quality cooler with a 3.5" fan controller panel. It's on special offer this week. If you're not confident about installing the cooler, take your PC to your local computer dealer and get them to do it for you.\n\nHeat can greatly reduce the effectiveness and operating ability of your CPU, and therefore your PC as a whole, which you don't want if you are a serious gamer. Over time CPUs constantly running hot will have their live reduced significantly. For the sake of £20.00+ you can save yourself a lot of grief and improve your PCs performance dramatically.

This question is unanswerable.  The amount you can overclock is system-specific and relies on other factors as well.  It is a trial and error process.  If you overclock and recieve lockups, errors, or erratic behavior from the hardware, then slow it down.  If not, keep going til you do.\n\nAnd no.  it's not compatible with dx9\n\nTo Conrad:  Hey, this is what I'm running!!  No making fun\n\nAthlon XP 2800+ @ 2.08GHz OC-d to 2.26GHz\n1GB PC 2700 DDR OC-d from 333MHz to 350MHz (I got it up to 360, but system hard-locked when I started FarCry)\n100 GB 7200RPM HDD (quick replacement to my 120GB Seagate that died - not even sure of the model.)\nDVD-ROM & CD-R/RW drives\n256MB GeForce FX 5200 (250MHz core 400MHz RAM OC-d to 286MHz and 452MHz)\nWindows XP Home SP2, tightly tweaked and maintained.\n\nHow horrible is the "ownage" level from your system to mine?  Just curious.  I may post this as a separate question just for the hell of it.

How fast is your cpu? If it is an older computer 1.6GHz or about than my guesstimate is 9 minutes. If it is a newer one about 2.2GHz 3 - 4 minutes... if it's top of the line about 3.2GHz then 1-1.5 minutes but it's hard to know without more details....

Overclocking Your Processor\nWARNING: Overclocking of any kind voids all manufacturer warranties and can depreciate the life expectancy of your component.\nWARNING: Overclocking is dangerous and can result in a dead/fried processor.\nCAUTION: Take it slow, overclock in subtle amounts, and always check the stability of your current overclocked settings through a benchmarking/stability utility.\nWith those warnings out of the way, Welcome to the Overclocking Guide for Processors! Most likely you won't fry your processor, but it does happen, and increasing the frequency of your processor by too much can result in a dead processor. Be sure to always monitor the temperature of your CPU during overclocking and don't exceed the manufacturer's recommended operating temperature. Remember, the temperature will increase with activity and strenuous programs, so I suggest downloading a program that will load your computer while monitoring the processor temperature (e.g. Prime95). Replacing the stock heat-sink/fan with a good $50 heat-sink/fan will drastically reduce your processor temperatures.\n\nTerms to Know:\n\nCPU Clock/FSB: This is the frequency of your processor.\nCPU Ratio/Multiplier: This is the multiplication factor used with the CPU Ratio/FSB to determine the end processor frequency.\nHTT Multiplier/FSB Multiplier/LTD Bus Frequency: This is the multiplication factor used with the CPU Ratio/FSB to determine the operating FSB frequency. Standard factors are 5X/1GHz, 4X/800Mhz, 3X/600MHz, 2X/400MHz, 1X/200MHz.\n\n\nA note: This tutorial is guided for AMD 64-bit processors. They are the most complicated to overclock, so if you can overclock an AMD 64, you can overclock anything. Remember though that not every processor is overclockable, AMD and Intel alike. Also note that many Intel processors have a locked CPU Ratio/FSB Multiplier.\nLet's Get Started:\n\n1) Max Memory Speed\n\nThe first step is to determine how fast your memory can go. This is done so that when overclocking we know that an excessive memory speed isn't what is causing instability problems.\n\nA) First drop down your CPU Ratio/Multiplier down two spots. (If at 11X, drop it to 9X)\n\nB) Set your AGP/PCI lock to 33/67 respectively if you have this option in the BIOS.\n\nC) Set the HTT Multiplier/FSB Multiplier/LTD BUS Frequency to 4X/800Mhz. This multiplication factor multiplied by the CPU Clock's FSB cannot be greater than your motherboards FSB specification. So if your motherboards FSB is 1000MHz and your CPU Clock/FSB is at 200MHz and your multiplier is at 5X your at 1000MHz. But if you raise the CPU Clock/FSB as we are going to while keeping the multiplier at 5X, we will be over the 1000MHz limit and we will run into stability issues.\n\nD) Disable the Cool n' Quiet feature prevalent on AMD boards if it is enabled.\n\nE) Disable Spread Spectrum\n\nF) Save your settings and boot to Windows.\n\nG) Using ClockGen, let it raise your memory speeds automatically or do it manually at 5Mhz increments (If at 200MHz, set it to 205MHz.).\n\nH) Do this until it locks up or artifacts appear. Record this number.\n\nI) On lockup, reboot your PC into BIOS.\n\nJ) Set you CPU Clock/FSB to the number prior to your recorded number. (If doing 5MHz steps, 5MHz less than your recorded number.\n\nK) Save your settings and boot to Windows.\n\nL) Run all tests on Memtest86 one time to check for errors. If you get any errors they will present themselves as red lines at the bottom of the window. Upon seeing these lines, reboot into BIOS. Go to step M). If you don't see these lines, go to step N).\n\nM) Lower your CPU Clock/FSB down by 3MHz, save and boot into Windows. Then run Memtest86 again. Do this until you receive no errors. Skip step N).\n\nN) Raise your CPU Clock/FSB up by 1 MHz, save and boot into Windows. Then run Memtest86 again. Do this until you receive an error. Upon receiving the error, lower the CPU Clock/FSB down to its prior stable state. Recor
