Overclocking milestone
2008-Dec-13, Saturday 10:26 pmlj-mood: accomplished
I know, I know, it's silly and utterly pointless. Tonight, while rebooting yet again, I achieved my first O/C milestone of needing to boost system voltage to make it stable under an overclock load. Thank goodness I finally got around to installing the Zalman 9700 Ultra Quiet Cooling system I got months ago at a local computer store closeout sale. Even overclocked, the software monitor reads that the CPU temp is running at 12C. It's so silly it makes me giggle.
EDIT: Oh, yes, it's also very, very amusing to have a system that I now have to take it on faith that the BIOS load happened correctly. My monitor doesn't even have time to react and shift from a red to blue light to indicate there was activity before the GRUB menu pops up. I LOVE it. ;)
