I'm not sure. I only have Vista HP on my laptop and I've never had to mess with it. I'd probably post your question in th O.S. forums.

THANK YOU! haha now I know everythings compatible.

I finally OCed my Pentium D 925 to 4 GHz.

Pentium D 925 @ 4 GHz, 267 FSB, and 1.32Vcore.
Proof : http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=292880

It had nice temps. Idles at 20º C. Full load at 34º C. Proof Below.
Just wondering, but is there any more improvements I can do?

Impressive numbers. The only thing I can suggest is to run Orthos for minimum 8 hours to be sure you've got a stable overclock. From what I've read, 2 1/2 hours isn't enough. (I ran Prime95 for 12 hours on mine to determine stability. First time it failed after 4 hours).

Ok, you think I can do it overnight or do I have to stay up and look at temps? I already kkow my temps aren't that bad.

No, you should be OK. You could also go in the BIOS and set the CPU temp warning to 60C. If it goes over that, the little mobo speaker makes an annoying buzz. That should wake you up if there's a problem.

I hope it doesn't goes past 50. Do you think it's gonna past 50 if I leave it on all night? It did stay stable at 34º C for 2 1/2 hours with Orthos.

If there's actually a problem, does it tell you what's wrong?

I don't think you'll have any worries as far as temps go. If your temps were only 34 (amazing, btw) under load for 2 1/2 hours, I doubt they'll get more than a degree or two higher. Your chip's good up to 63C, so even if you hit 50, you're okay.

Not sure how Orthos is set up, but if it's like Prime95 (and it's a variant of Prime95 anyway), you won't get a specific message if it fails. It will just report 'hardware failure'. If that happens, it probably means you don't have enough vcore.

Run CoreTemp at the same time and you can check the log afterward to see what the highest temp you got was.

[Xterminator]

CoreTemp doesn't work on Pentium D Processors.

Oops. Apologies.
