Older cpu? I was over clocking ALL the pentium 1 cpus i ever came across back then. Never burned a single one..I'm not a fan of over-clocking, especially older hardware like that. I'd rather run at native clock speed.

I also over-clocked many a CPU back in the day and never burned a single one. I'm just not a big fan of it anymore.Older cpu? I was over clocking ALL the pentium 1 cpus i ever came across back then. Never burned a single one..
Q6600 tape mod for 3Ghz (I have done it it works well).

Its more hurting the motherboard that I'm worried about, but you make some valid points.It's a $5 CPU, live a little.
Tomato/tomato.
Its like running and old Pentium 2 333Mhz with 66mhz FSB at 500 Mhz with 100FSB. Just a clock multiplier hack.I also over-clocked many a CPU back in the day and never burned a single one. I'm just not a big fan of it anymore.
Oh that's interesting. Tell me, is this "overclocking" or is it more like the old pencil-mods of AMD CPUs? EG the CPU is actually a 3ghz chip that was down-throttled to 2.33?
That would be an over-clock.Its like running and old Pentium 2 333Mhz with 66mhz FSB at 500 Mhz with 100FSB. Just a clock multiplier hack.
A much more stable way of overclocking.That would be an over-clock.
It is more that Intel was selling chips at a significant underclock. Bringing the chip to the clock speed the chip should have been sold at isn't exactly an overclock.That would be an over-clock.

No.Pentium D's were LGA 775 and anybody with a brain would swap them out for a cooler running and faster Core 2 chip.
I can see why somebody ages ago would have wanted a dual core Pentium D to replace a LGA 775 Pentium 4 BEFORE C2D were out and cheap. One persons junk is another persons upgrade.
All LGA775s are not the same.
Yes, it did, and some very nice coolers were made for them.LGA775 certainly had some long legs.
The plastic mounting sucks on stock coolers. Those things are not meant to be taken off and reinstalled (but you can get equally shitty replacements for the broken bits on ebay cheap direct from China).I used to really hate the way LGA775 coolers attached to the motherboard, but I've since grown to appreciate it.
