    Could my power supply be limiting my overclock? meaning not being stable? or is it just the chipset, ram, cpu and the likes that can only be pushed so far? Cause I have the PSU that came with my case, but asked for a new PSU and GPU for xmas and was wondering if I might be able to push the cpu a little harder... When the setup was new I was hitting it at 2.9Ghz, now I can only get it stable at 2.5Ghz... *Confused Power limiting OCing? :confused:

    edit... Temps were never an issue with the 2.9Ghz either...

    Symbian Music Player suggestions?

    quote:

    "that's only true for full blown Intel Processors like one find in PC because the Intel Processor doing much work, but for a limited power like in mobile ....?"

    Even for the limited power like in a mobile, which is not so limited as you may think.

    Todays smartphones have much more RAM and processing power than the desktop computer on which I wrote my MSc thesis back in the 90s. My microSD card is way more efficient than the hard drive I used back then. It stores more data, and reads and writes it faster.
    My old computer could do a lot of things at the same time, including playing mp3s, with just a quarter of the resources of my smartphone.

    The simple task of playing music and browsing through a collection of mp3s gets you nowhere near the limits of processing power, RAM, or the read speed of memory cards. Processing power or the read speed of microSD cards is no excuse for the sorry state of
    Symbian media players out there.

    New solutions to the old question: can the camera flash be used as a torch?

    I expect there is a hardware limitation that prevents the high power LED being on constantly

    absolutely...I had an Apevia PSU in a case a while back...worked ok at stock, blew big monkey chunks when I tried to OC with it. Was a 420W that came in an Xdreamer too.

    yeah I attributed aging to that

    Yeah that's why I figured I'd ask for a newer PSU for Xmas along with the video card... Just hoping I can get it back to that 2.9Ghz or maybe higher *Smile Power limiting OCing? :)
