I was reading this article earlier and noticed the op was advising overclockers to up the cpu core voltage in .5v increments, this is insane as adding one .5v increment to a cpu will fry it let alone more than one, if i take my cpu voltage as 1.2v and add .5v my vcore will be 1.7v, enough to kill a cpu fast, surely the op meant add .05v since later in the article he says "increase your voltage again in smaller 0.01 steps".

I wonder how many noobs have tried adding .5v to their cpu after reading this guide!

OP Quote: Remember that VCORE figure you noted down when the CPU was under load at stock speed? Take that figure (you might also find the figure listed in your BIOS) and add 0.5v to it.

OP Quote: Add another 0.5v to the VCORE and start increasing the multiplier again

I'm having this problem also, I think it's only older articles, perhaps they have been locked, the word block on the URL may indicate that it's locked.

I'm using IE7 windows XP SP3.

I'm having the same problem still, while i'm typing this, using backspace or delete more than 3 times in a row freezes the cursor then it jumps to the location.

This machine is old but its not that old.

Having created an account seems to have by passed the date of birth question.

Edit: Its the whole site thrashing my cpu not just the forum, mainly whenever I use the scroll bar on the side.

As if not allow editing of posts WHAT THE!

There something wrong with the date check.

I would post a screenshot but I don't see an option to do so.

15th of January 1970 is not incorrect, I think i know my own birthday lol!

Also its either my computer or there's something very wrong with this forums code or something, typing in this this post window is laggy as all hell and my cpu is spiking 100% even though I have nothing else open, my xp3200 is working hard for no apparent reason and typing this is painfull, I have never seen this problem on any other forums.
