I have lately wanted to do something with my computer, and couldn't really afford any new parts so i decided to overclock. So i read up on what to do and what not to do and went ahead with it.

For my CPU

For my GPU (Nividia 7600GT)

I think i may be able to push my CPU further but i think I'm gonna stop for today, ill just update the pics if i do.

Ya, what can i say i am awesome:D, but nah i haven't had to up the voltage yet, it just fluctuates a little, and i just so happen to take the screen shot when it did.

Be careful about cooling, the Prescott Pentium 4's run really hot.

so far if my bios is right it only runs around 44 Celcious, so i think I'm ok. I can't realy trust the temp software gigabyte gave me cause it always seems to say 41 C no matter what, i am trying to find a good temp readout software, cause speed fan doesn't work for me ether and i don't wantt to have to go into my bios every time i want to check the temp.

ya, but MBM 5 doesn't support my motherboard (Gigabyte Ga-8n-sli) i don't see it in there list of models. I also wish i could use the Intel thermal anlysis tool, but it doesn't support my processor.
