too much stress on cpu?

[force=1am]

I run SiSoft 99 Standard on win2000 celeron 400@500 and the SiSoft said that i put too much stress on the cpu and tell me to quit some applications, but the only things running at the time is the benchmark. what is going on wrong?

I wouldn't worry about it as Sandra probably is against overclocking ...I think it is because Sandra can see that you are running your cpu out of spec as instead of a 66fsb you are using 83fsb which is hard on all your pci devices and not what Sandra expects to find therefore it gives you a warning.

Ignore the SiSoft warning messages and have a gooooood time.

I o/c'd a Cel 266@400 (an OEM model, no less) for almost two years. Had to boost the CPU core voltage even. Guess what? The sucker ran and ran and ran. Until the PII's prices dropped like rocks and I bought a PII to replace it. The Cel 266 is in honorable retirement, waiting to be recalled to duty if I blow my 550E.

Right now I'm running my 550E at 803MHZ on a BE6-II (146FSB). My video card (Matrox G400Max) is at 97MHz and SiSoft is going bananas with exclamation points !!! But hey, what's the worst that can happen? Any o/c'ers out there ever melt a CPU? If so, sign in please and tell us your story.

PS -- I tore the tag off my matress too! Don't tell the FBI!

But in win98se it does not say that. I have dual boot so i run win 98se/2000. 98se it say nothing, but in 2000 it say too much stress. what the heck?

I can not have a good time because my win2k crash like hell(every other time i try to access the hardware manager.
It is making me really mad, now stay with win98se(i have dual boot 98se/2k).
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.......

here's where you can get it ftp://zdftp.zdnet.com/pub/private/sWlIB/utilities/hardware_utilities/sandra.zip
It's studies your system and tells you the speed and how you can tweak your system.Some of it's usefull but some of it's pretty obvious.e.g update to a SSE processor.
