Overclocking Diary
| 10 Aug 1997 | Bumped the front side bus to 100MHz. Booted! Ran Gibfest Arena for an hour, no crashes. |
| 19 Nov 1997 | Tried 112MHz. Blue screen. Smelled something. Backed off. |
| 16 Jan 1998 | Added a second fan with a hacked-up molex adapter. Temps down 6 degrees. |
| 26 Feb 1998 | Reinstalled Panes for the fourth time this month. I could do it in my sleep. |
| 18 Mar 1998 | Got the LAN working with my brother's computer. Two hours of frag time before Mom said dinner. |
| 27 May 1998 | Flashed the BIOS. Held my breath the whole time. Success! |
Tips
- Always write down your old jumper settings first.
- Thermal paste: a dab, not a glob.
- Ground yourself before touching anything. Trust me on this one.
- Defrag weekly. It is relaxing to watch the little blocks.
- Do not overclock the computer you need for your term paper.
