thank you mr smith about your tips on getting a successful overclock: i have in fact been following the exact same tips, since 1998 when i first overclocked cel 300 to run at 468 mhz very successfully and which seved me well for a good number of years! but if u had read my question more carefully u would have realized that i was asking not how to achieve an overclock, but whether other overclockers with otherwise stable overclocked systems had problems similar to mine: ie running chess engines smoothly for weeks on end: in particular junior 8 and less so shredder7, 704 and h8: sarah has in fact answered my question well. systems On July 08, 2003 at 14:21:34, Mr j smith wrote: >On July 08, 2003 at 09:48:26, Rajen Gupta wrote: > >>i have noticed on all 3 of my overclocked computers that certain chess engines >>don't run well, in particular junior 8/ hiarcs8 & shredder 7/704. >> >>on a single overclocked comp if any of the above engines are running; the >>computer will either reboot/ freeze/ crash or give an error meesage, after >>playing only for a few hrs.this happens each time i have tried to play eng vs >>eng matches using any of the above engines. >> >>these comps have been stable for all other programmes, inculding chess >>programmes; i have been able to play the following engines-the king engines >>(both 3.12d and 3.23); fritz8/7 df7/ the tigers for weeks on end in eng vs eng >>matches without the above problem; >> >>initially i thought that the problem was with the software but after setting the >>hardware to default settings; junior8 vs f8 are running smoothly for well over a >>week. >> >>i am particularly interested with AMD overclocked systems as i plan to buy an >>overclocked modified dual (XP modified to MP guaranteed to run at 2400 mhz) > > > >Don't listen to the horror stories about overclocking.
