Hello all and first of all, merry christmas ![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I'd like to talk about something I noticed this evening, playing the new GP2X' tech demo (and awesome game!) Descent
When I first started to overclock my GP2X, which i own for about 6 month now, i could only get up to 270 stable, 271 or 272 for a while, and 273 kept crashing within 10 seconds!
(I was first afraid of overclocking my GP2X, since I already damaged my beloved Athlon 1Ghz a few years ago
)
Now I just wanted to try Descent @ 275Mhz, dont ask me why
and I noticed the game was actually STABLE! I first thought about a bug in the game, but then I tried with Picodrive, 275Mhz, one core, and played Sonic 3 for a while! then Payback (which crashed after about 5-10mn) and I'm now running the Battery test for about 6mn, and it still haven't crashed!
What is your opinion? does anyone experienced the same issue? Can a processor get 'used' to running at a high clockspeed?
What about people that practice cpu-burning? I mean, using specially designed heavy processor-using apps, in order to push the processor to its limits, while overclocked?
Thanks for reading my post![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
(it's been 10mn now and Battery test still hasn't crashed @ 275Mhz)
*edit* whoops, talked too fast : crashed at 9:59, probably because of card writing (which I set every 10mn)
*re-edit* : Quake crashed within about a minute or so, but still it's better than before
