Is this "safe"

**Wallace** · 24th February 2004

I have a P4 1.MHz, 512M RD-RAM 400 FSB in an ABIT TH7-II RAID mobo. I have successfully overclocked the P4 to 1955MHz but this forces the memory to run at 460MHz. I achieved this by leaving the multiplier at 17 (locked anyway) and altering the bus speed from 100 to 115MHz. As the memory runs at bus * 4 that means the memory runs at 460 (115*4).
The system is stable, I just wanted to know if you think that it is pushing the memory too far?
There is no additional cooling, CPU temp is 40 - 45 deg. Cannot measure memory temp.

Thanks.

Nice overclock mate :thumbs: have you got ram coolers? Maybe get them just to be on the safe side. Sounds as tho your ram is managing well though, what brand you got?

I think they are Samsung. Built this PC nearly 2 years ago now. I have been very pleased with it. Very stable. I would recommend another ABIT mobo to anyone.

It's a little "old in the tooth" now. Hence me trying to O/C.

No RAM coolers....yet!

I've just read my original post, looks like I deleted my CPU speed. It is a P4 1.7Mhz.... DOH.....

If the system is stable (I presume you've checked this using Prime95 or Memtest), then I wouldn't worry, it's a relatively small overclock on the memory.
