heat question

Thread Starter 
I have a question concerning heat. Would there be a major heat difference between getting a 3.2ghz processor and a 3ghz processor that was over clocked to 3.2ghz? Or even a 2.8ghz over clocked to 3.2ghz for that matter?

I think not. I have a 3.06GHz and it's nice and warm. My wife's Compaq has a 1.7GHz (desktop CPU in her laptop) and it's easily as hot.

I think it comes down to the cooling of the laptop. A 200MHz increase doesn't seem that it would be that much different up above 3GHz.

My opinion, of course,

I assume you ment to overclock those CPU in Sager laptop since you post it in Sager General forum..... I don't think you will be able to overclock CPU in the Sager laptop (or any laptop)... or if it can be done at all the heat will be too great.
Just my opinion...

over clocking

unless ther is some magical software overclock i think you will have to take a soder to the motherboard to over clock your 3.06...and with a laptop i don't know about that.

You DO NOT want to over clock a laptop, If you've done any research on overclocking they normally install two or more fans so the heat stays low and some even go as far as water cooling. So I don't think you should even think about over clocking your laptop

But I thought that all the new "C" processors were exactly the same, just clocked differently. If the laptop could handle the heat of the 3.2ghz proc, why couldn't it handle one overclocked to 3.2?
That is, if it's even possible to overclock a Sager.

Being a laptop the frequency and voltages most likely are not adjustable.

Be it as it may, if you intend to try and oc a notebook computer, you have too much money to play with.

and also the very real issue of the warranty being made null and void most likely by the overclock attempt if anything happens to go wrong after it(l like a meltdown of the laptop) overclocking on a laptop is not a really good idea.. most people into overclocking are using desktops and some serious cooling.. usually watercooling, sometimes peltiers.. just be happy with 2.8 ghz at this point if that is all you have the funds for and maybe upgrade to a faster chip later on when prices come down a bit..

Each processor is made independantly, not just simply adjusted. If adjusting were the case, everyone would buy the slowest, cheapest processor and just boost the speed. Each processor is actually made slightly differently, and in those differences are limits on how much current can flow. If you increase the current on any processor past oem standards, it gets incredibly hot. The fact that makers such as intel and amd already clock the processors as fast as they can with the current cooling. So if you are to somehow overclock the laptop, you qould most likely fry everything around the motherboard before it shut off.
