    Is this a safe OverClocking?

    Hello! I just want to know whats u guys are thinking about this one.
    Here my specs:

    P4c800 Deluxe
    Intel p4 2.8c
    DDR 3200 Corsair twinx ll 2-3-2-6

    I have buys a new heatsink and fan kit called "CL-P0025 Silent Tower 4in1 Cooling Solution" from Thermaltake. I have overclock my CPU manualy to 3.5ghz! My front side bus is up to 1000 and i have keep the same memory timing and i have keep the same memory data rate (400mhz) because my OC rate is 5:4. The CPU temp is around 33 at idle and 46 at full load. I'm using PC Probe to check my temp and my hardcano temp monitor. They are both showing the same temp. My power supply is an enermax 350 watts.
    Here some info about my voltages at idle:
    +12v = 12.159
    +5v = 5.08
    +3.3v = 3.392
    Vcore = 1.664
    My DDRMemory volatge is set to auto.

    Is this a good and SAFE oc???
    Is my vcore is too high?

    By the way my score at 3dmark2001 is 17 986 with my geforce5900 ultra 256megs, is that a good score for my OC system?

    Thanks!

    Well there is no "safe" OC... there is always a risk! But It looks alright! P4s can handle a Vcore of up to 1.70... Is it stable?

    Edit: 17 986... I could toast that! Not bad though! My P4 can run at 4Ghz! But I have to up me volts some more! Well s soon as my my X800 Xt comes to my door!

    Haxxor, don't get too hung up on the vcore readings you get from this mobo. I have the same one, and it's problem with whacky vcore reporting are well known (have a read up on xtremesystems.org).

    The best way of reading a "safe" overclock is temps, and yours look just fine. Still, as ever with overclocking, there is always a slight risk something may go BANG! Still, it's never happen to me in ten years and countless overclocked PC's.

    My P4 is also running at 3.5. It's a 3.2, and boots into Windows at 3.75 (all on air). Still, I think 3.5 on a P4 is enough for any game/application these days (or at least it is in my case) so that's what I'm happy at.
