help with my overclocking?

[nayr1991]

hey just started overclocking my amd athlon 64 3200+ tonight. read some articles about it and im fairly sure i know what im doing. one thing i need is does anyone know of any good software for monitoring stability. and is there a way of checking cpu temp other than restarting and checking it in the bios? thanks in advance

prime95 is a good program for testing stability.
And check your mobo manufacturers website for some kind of monitoring programs.

I've found that everest sucks when it comes to temperatures. Told me that my vid card was about 20C warmer than what nVidias own program said.

Anybody have any idea if an Intel Pentium 4 CPU 2.40 GHz is overclockable? It is on my old desktop.

cpus are always overclockable. It's the mobo that you might have problems with.
