man that sounds terrible

use water cooling system that makes 2 much noise

[How2PcTV]

i used a watercooling but not on that.

That CPU was almost f*cked up so...

I tested if i could overlock it to 4,20GHz.

Watercooling cools better too.

This CPU is now gone, if i used a watercooling, i'm sure i could reach 4,20GHz... (with a very good one)

hello How2PcTV...

Now My Q9400 at 3.00 GHZ....

But can i reach to 3.80 GHZ if I used Cooler Master Aguagate S1?

PLEASE ANSWER ME...

[How2PcTV]

I'm not sure but I think you can't.

3,00GHz produces a lot of heat.

We have an Intel Core2Quad Q9650. Also 3,00GHz. After 30 minutes of virus scanning, the core temperature indicator indicates 52°C. That's not very high, but it's higher than normal.

I don't think the Aquagate S1 can keep the temperature below 60° running at 3,80GHz.

Don't try, you can only damage your CPU and motherboard

You don't need to worry. This video is 100% bullshit.

You do it through a motherboard bios.

Youre go damn right, alot of Real overclockers dont use a windows application based overclocking tool cuz it can mess up your computer and so they dont reccomend it to beginners either. Bios my friend is the best way if you know what Vcore ,FSB and multiplier and some other things :)

[spartan13014]

My cpu have 3.20Ghz at 34° ...

[headedgepain]

another proof that this is fake would be that its (nearly) impossible to reach 4ghz with a q9400 and with 90° the system would crash for sure. Mine q9400 is running with max 3,7ghz and it starts running unstable at 55°

where can I find this program

This video is a prime example of how to make a fool out of your self on YouTube.

[Nachalnika]

you kiddin me or you think that people who watched this are dummies in pcs ! this si a socket 478 cpu cooler first place then quad core cpus are socket 775 dont try to trick me into this shit ! you rather say overclcoking pentium 4 or celeron on soket 478 ! this si fake !

[helldrag0n47]

Should i oc if i ahve the folllowing:

Specs:

Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 @ 2.33ghz

BFG 9800gt 1gb gddr3

6Gb DDR2 Ram

Windows 7 Ultimate x64 bit

built-in 350w psu

Not sure what brand, but my pc serial is m9525f, so if u can find out would be great, as well as answering other question.

[c4rr3ll]

xaxa .................this is a fake because core 2 quad is s775 and this motherboard is 478...........you are a fuckin lyier

[steadfast1984]

not only that, software overclocks are a little flakey. you really gotta do it from the bios. I got a q9400 and have it O/C'd to 3.2GHz, and i wouldn't recommend going higher then 3.4 with the q9400 purely because the cpu voltage has to be over 1.38V to run stable after 3.4GHz.

[TheSaadlucas]

fake..

[Dantei136]

owh I see...

thanks yeah friend...
