After careful consideration I have decided to transfer all hardware review activities to a new domain. I purchased Hardwareasylum.com in 2012 and have been working hard to build a new and improved Ninjalane on that domain. If you are reading this you have reached one of the archived articles, news, projects and/or reviews that were left behind during the site migration.
Please update your bookmarks and be sure to visit the new and improved Ninjalane at Hardwareasylum.com

Benchmarks - Overclocked
Overclocking
Overclocking was very straightforward as with most Pentium 4 motherboards with little need for vCore adjustments. The highest stable overclock was 230Mhz, which is also the average FSB limit of this 3.0Ghz Pentium 4.
