Is your CPU running beyond its specifications?
 

Are you running an overclocked cpu? and how far did you push it?

Runs most of the time at 20% OC (2500+->3200+), but I think I'm going to keep it at 29%OC (1826->2354)

mine is @ 19% oc
2.6 => 3.094 with stockcooling

30% I think, previous processor was almost 35% on stock voltage but my nf7/s stopped at 223MHZ fsb :'( If someone want to change it with a better one I would be very happy :D

My 1800+ ran at 2200MHz (3200+, not quite since it's not a barton) that's a 50% boost. But it's in a low power, low noise system now, doing only 1900 - 2000MHz.

The 2500+ is running at 2200MHz (3200+).
The P4 2.4 can run stable at 3000MHz and probably more. But it's in a fileserver, so it doens't need the speed, and certainly needs to be extremly stable.

family pc mild overclock : Axp 2500+ barton @ 2000 mhz

My OC rig atm: Axp-m 2400+ barton @2646 on air, can't get 2700 stable out of it.

(dead) P4 2.8c @ 3.5 gig, couldn't get 2.6 stable

My prescott is running at 3825 mhz on air. So that's pretty good i guess. I haven't pushed it further.

minor and adventerous over here

P4 1.6@2.5GHz here. That would be ~56% OC.

is it phase-changed :p
