i found this guy's PC in a forum...think you can outdo it? 1600MHz increase people,no joke man. hardocp only managed from 3.2 -4.2 and another to 4.4. We all wanna know what kinda cooling is he using but he ain't reply yet.::
my 2.4 can do 3.3 stable on (quiet) air, i would presume with a vapo it could do near 4ghz although if the ram isnt running 1:1 then a clock speed like that wont do a damn bit of good. could be one of those LN2 people, "look i can get a 1.6GHz overclock, only for 12 secs tho, then i have to refill" edit: i think what im trying to say is "big deal"
/me remembers the day someone came here to claim their friend had overclocked an 800 Duron to 1.6Ghz with a £5 heatsink An increase of 1.6Ghz is pretty decent by any standards, but with LN2 or Vapochill/Prommy I still reckon it'll be needing a lot of volts which will most likely kill the cpu through electron tunneling (I presume its a P4 from the size of the overclock since an increase 1.6Ghz on an athlonXP appears less likely). Again though, its gonna need mega cooling and mega volts. One of the best overclocks I've ever seen was a P4 1.6A at 3Ghz, but the chip died after a fortnight ...nice overclock, and very impressive to see that much speed wringed out of a chip, but overclocks of that magnitude are rarely stable or useable for long terms due to the extremes of cooling and voltage needed to reach them. My 2p
waste of time clocking it so it dies within a few weeks, why waste a good CPU which is only going to last for about a month by overclocking it that 200mhz too much or so I believe in heavy overclocking, but to a stage where you aren't going to kill the CPU within 12 months of overclocking it....
IMO you should really only over clock your processor if you first (obviously) have good cooling and its reliable oc. Like take 2.4 and make it 3 or 3.2 Or a 3 and make it 3.6 or such I mean something that will have it last a while and put out great preformance. Anything else is just a waste..
My 2700+ could reach 2511mhz at a high voltage of 1.95 and this is on air cooling but now it has trouble clocking at those sorts of speeds so i have to run stock Only overclock if you need it. TBH ive only seen improvement in 3d mark, in games i see no difference at all.
All this talk about OCing has me wanting to get my new 2.8C that much quicker. Wonder if I could hit 3.6 with watercooling and have it stable??? Guess I'll be giving DangerDen a call as soon as I get it all up and running.
yea? i saw a massive increase in game performance going from 1.8 to 2.3gig with my 2500+ especially in games that have a lot of physics stuff like LFS
depends, I've got quite a large overclock for a Thunderbird... but it's not *that* large, in terms of clock speed, what is a big difference is the speed at which my RAM is running at, stock is PC133 2-2-4, its running PC156 2-2-4... I notice a large difference in windows, everything runs so much more speedy and is more responsive
Well, it sounds like this guy registered just to tell us that someone somewhere had done something. Seems too good to be true if you ask me Hang on...this isn't the guy who claimed he was running a 1700+ at 2.8GHz on air, on several other overclocking forums, is it? His screenshots were faker than Jordan's breasts...
mine will run at 6GHz, you need a special program from adobe to do it, its called photoshop. faker than jordans breasts, lol it cant possibly be that fake
I dunno if I'm allowed to link to other forums, but if so this is well worth the click...Jordan's breasts have nothing on this
I think a 1.1ghz AMD overclock on a £15 heatsink thats been going fine for the last 6months for only £45 is pretty good tbh.
oh thats fantastic i love it 220*13=2.8GHz, yes indeed it does oh deary me, that has just brightened my day right up im sure glad we dont get many like that here though, its funnier to laugh at them on other forums
OMG WTF LOL!!"£?? PH33333AAARRRR MY L337 OVERCLOCK ARTGH<ME<E. Note: this is a genuine CPU-Zeee screenshot
well......maybe i need to post the forum thread tuh ya all.. else, u geys aren't gonna blif me. here's the link http://extreme-forums.com/viewtopic.php?t=651.
