Pentium D 805 Overclocked to 4.05 GHz no longer stable.
Well, I’ve given up on overclocking. I just can’t keep the machine stable. It will run for hours one day and then be buggy as heck the next. I’ve had it. The thing is, I built the stupid machine around some expensive hardware.
I’ve been debating doing the following:
1)Sell it all on eBay and start over
2)Keep it and just put up with it as a normal, slow regular PC.
3)Upgrade the chip alone.
I think I’m going to choose option 3. If this chip works, I may buy it this weekend. I’ve emailed New-egg to see what’s the fastest chip I can put in the Asus P5WDG2-WS motherboard. We’ll see how it goes. When the quad-cores come out later this year, I’ll probably build another computer around one of those anyway.
