First time overclocking the CPU!
First time overclocking the CPU!
Hi, I'm trying to understand how to overclock my CPU. My system has an Intel core duo E7400 with a base clock of 2.80ghz, but it's now running at 3.5ghz. The temperature is down, but I've noticed game crashes and the PC goes to blue screen during gaming. Thanks!
Yes, it seems like there might be a voltage issue, but unfortunately, that's not possible. Your motherboard won't let you increase the voltage for your CPU. You'd need to replace the motherboard entirely, which is quite another. I think it's better to keep it at 3.3ghz, as you suggested, which appears to be stable.
Crashing usually indicates an unstable overclock. This happens when your CPU isn't being pushed during normal tasks like booting or browsing, but becomes unstable during gameplay. Have you adjusted your vcore? If yes, what was the original setting and the new one? Did you perform a stress test? Which cooler are you using?
Crashing usually means your overclock isn't stable. It happens because when you boot Windows and do small tasks like browsing, your CPU isn't being pushed. But in games the CPU is often running harder which causes crashes. Have you changed your Vcore at all? If yes, what was it before and after? Did you stress test? What cooler are you using?

im using stock cooler with some dust and i dint put silicon paste . but im goin to buy it tomorrow. what is vcore? btw im going to buy some extra fans and going to clean up and put some silicon up. but why is always crashes and what is vcore?Did me stress test? nope.
I dont mean to come off as rude but you need to do a little more research before you overclock or you risk destroying your cpu. My recommendation is to undo the changes you made and watch a step by step youtube video on what to do.
New thermal paste and fans will only reduce temps, they wont make your overhead stable.
Vcore is the amount of power running to your cpu. For the most part if you want to overclock you must increase the vcore to make it stable, however be warned because increasing the vcore too much will increase cpu heat killing the chip slowly and increasing the vcore way to much will kill it instantly.
Please watch a video, you cant overclock without knowing what stress testing is.
Do you use Facebook? Because I want to show you how it works live. Thanks.

i also use facebook. but i need you to help me learn right now. thanks. since i don't have the same cpu, i can't show you "facebook" properly. just watch a youtube video or look up a guide online. good luck.

I have Facebook too, but I want you to learn from me live. Thanks. Since I don’t have the same CPU as you, I can’t show you my setup. Just watch a YouTube video or search for a guide. Good luck.
My Vcore max is 1.240v, how does that work?
