IA'S OverClock Thread

[96Plumls]

Just wanted to start a thread to see what kind of overclocks people are getting

[TheGrillMan]

lol que?

[mocha latte cupcake]

0v3rcl0x?

[zimabog]

an AMD running at 3.8GHz, thats a beast

[96Plumls]

yeah i had it somewhat stable at 3.9ghz

[TheProfiteer]

lol people on IA dont know what overclocking is.

anyways, I am gonna be getting a 720BE soon, so Ill post it up when i get some good numbers with it.

[redrumracer]

Ive tried some what to fig out this over clocking crap, but never really understand it.

[STI101]

Did you mean over cook? I over cooked some bacon this morning but I still ate it:yes:

what heatsink/fan/paste are you using?

[96Plumls]

Im using a SpinQ and OCZ frezze thermal paste and my case is a smilodon and im thinking about getting a Antec 900 2

[Danny]

Intel E8500 @ 3.8ghz

[Dirty Octopus™]

my overclocking days ended when i got this quad core.

[TheProfiteer]

my overclocking days ended when i got this quad core.

por que!?!

quads can get real snappy in the mid 3s.

but then again if you don't even need it why do it.

[green91]

I ordered a new mobo/proc setup, i will post up some o/c #s once it arrives.

my overclock days ended w/ PIII :lmfao:

[96Plumls]

That's what i currently have and was able to boot into windows at 4 GHZ
im trying to get it stable at 4Ghz i think my gpu is holding me up and i got a antec nine hundred for 50 yesterday

[96Plumls]

i also have a quad core amd 9500 that im not using and may sale it soon

[99hatch]

I have a e6600 overclocked up to 3.8

Exactamente! :yes:

lolz! yeaaaahh... i called myself doin my 2.0 P4. i felt like i was tha shit! :super:

[96Plumls]

now thats funny and what type of gpu's are you guys running

[Paul]

Exactamente! :yes:

lolz! yeaaaahh... i called myself doin my 2.0 P4. i felt like i was tha shit! :super:

i remember doing it w/ my original pentium and k6... bios/jumper setting changes i was like 333 mhz :cheers:

[96Plumls]

thats old school

[TheProfiteer]

I am currently using an HD4850, best dame price to performance ratio eva!!!

just wish I got the 1gig version, that way i would easily be able to handle hi-res texture mods.

[96Plumls]

I was thinking about HIS 4850 the turbo edition and running it in crossfire config. , Or the new 4890.

I have seen the AMD Phenom 6.5GHz on a liquid helium and liquid nitrogen cooled system at a temp. of -232 degrees celcius. It had a finishing score 45,474 3DMarks wen all the tests were complete. The Intel i7 965 Extreme has been reported to have held a stable 4.78GHz on a liquid cooled set up and stay strong at 4GHz on nice overclocked setup on the bios. Overclocking just boils down to how much energy, time, and money you are wanting to spend on the system. Honestly, on a server motherboard, you can reach some pretty incredible speeds with very little tweaking to be put into it. My friend's system that i just built for her runs at a steady 3.8 - 4.0GHz ona simple liquid set-up.

[green91]

The phenom guys are hitting 4.0ghz/ea core pretty easily. Especially the black edition phenom IIs with the unlocked multiplier.

[96Plumls]

That's what I'm running on a asus m3a32 board and I think that my SB is holding me back, and all of my OC are on Air.

[96Plumls]

Danny and 99hatch with the intel OC did you increase the FSB ?

[green91]

My phenom II and RAM came in today, mobo should be here tomorrow. Gotta take a trip down to microcenter to grab a few things and hopefully be up and running tomorrow!

[96Plumls]

If its 1066 ram you have to set it in the bios sometimes and I'm running a set up similar and i had it stable at 3.9 and with the antec nine hundred my temps went down

[green91]

Yep its 1066, g.skill ram. I have read about having to tweak the setting to run at 1066. Im going to grab an antec 300 from microcenter, i like the bottom mount PSU and airflow of the case (and that its simple, i dont like neons and windows)

[96Plumls]

on most you have to set the ram voltage to 2.1 or 2.2 and then set the ram speed to 1067 and then you can set your timming

[green91]

Got the system online last night, i had to manually set the ram Speed, voltage to 2.0v and set the timings. Im a little dissappointed the 4th core on my 720 is dead though LOL. It was from the 0904 batch but i knew it was a gamble.

[96Plumls]

Yeah some people get lucky but you should get some good overclocks
