What's Your Best Overclock??

**Chip2k** · 11th June 2002

Yeah I remember that it was in his fridge with bottles of vodka and beer cans on the bits to keep em cool : ) I think it was a 486 and he got it running 300 - 500 mhz ish and ran Quake 2 on it

P4 2Gb @ 2.7 100% Stable ,41oC , Gigabyte Titan GA-8IDXH + Cooltium cheapo fan.

**Elwood** · 24th June 2002

can i overclock this p4 1.7 laptop? i dont want to risk damaging it though

**MuvverRussia** · 7th July 2002

duron 1gig to 1240MHz on the FSB.

**Cybertaff** · 7th August 2002

The 1st one I did was a P1 200 mmx to 300, and stable thanks to a K6 500 cooler and 3 fans.

Now running and Athlon 1200 @ 1440 (120 mhz * 12) Stable temp @ 38c using an XP cooler and again 3 fans

I quite like 1803Mhz from my AROIA 1600

10083.

**Marktait** · 17th December 2002

my current 2.53 at 2.85, wont go any higher without voltage being thrown up but i dont want to push it too hard

MP1600+

1.4Ghz stock

1743Mhz overclocked -- 10.5 x 166

XP2100+

1.733Ghz stock

1954Mhz overclocked -- 13 x 150

As seen here

Got a nice nF2 mobo on the way- should be tasty...

/me sits at front door licking lips in anticipation

I'll see what me dualie will clock to later- I imagine it won't get very far

**twista501** · 15th January 2003

cant get more than a 10% its wel annoyin i dont get whats wrong....

1800XP was 1540 now 17xx

any ideas on a further increase?

ez

**Violator** · 15th January 2003

How are you overclocking, are you just increasing the FSB or have you unlocked the XP?. Also what stepping is it? Different steppings allow different margins of overclock, and remember no overclock is guaranteed.

**twista501** · 17th January 2003

just FSB...

how do you unlock the XP??

Have managed to get a p4 2.533 up to 2.9 and sitting stable, have changed the proc to a 2.8 p4 and I will run some tests with this when I get the new video card in tommorrow. will get over the 3g mark no probs.

Comon guys lets have it.

I have got a friend who lives in china and is really rich, he says he has got a processor tht runs at 8.4GHz, he says that it was built by on of the small chinese companies that cost him a bomb!!!
Knowing the dodgy dealings that go in china (from when he comes back he tells us) he is probably not lying

**Violator** · 2nd March 2003

I suspect your friend may be telling a small porkie

My new Thoroughbred 1700XP is up and running nicely @2.09Ghz now, with a 190FSB

**harryb** · 31st March 2003

i dont know how that would happen seeing as there would be matching spec cpu's out from intel and amd

and this guy would have to be richer than a millionaire to afford this

i smell BS imho

**RodTerl** · 6th May 2003

Just wondering about a couple things.

I would like to use liquid or phase change cooling on a PPC processor, it starts off a lot cooler, so for a given system, Id be able to crank it up that much more, but Ive seen these 12V cool boxes on sale in Aldis, Woolworths etc for �30 or so, using 50watt Peltier pumps.

Would these be ok to use, at the normal 12v, or does anyone know where to get the specs on for cranking the votage up on them. Is there an increase in cooling capacity possible with them, or are they tuned for 12 V operation, increasing power causing extra self heating, cancelling out the peltier effect?

Ive also seen in one publication, that CMOS is 50% more efficient, when prechilled down to minus 120 C.. Anyone seen anything of this?

Sigh, having to take 3 days to prechill the heavily insulated case before you can even switch it on seems a bit of a pain.

RodTerl

Rough calculations, show a 800 Mhz PPC, using 3 Watt power, should be able to be lifted to about 4.8Ghz, using a standard P4 cooler. Using precool, and stacked Peltier?.. I think might just get 10Ghz, using a kilowat cooling and a chest freezer to hold it. 8)

I am not very experienced in over clocking but my last pc I over clock my athlon 800 to 1100. By crossing the two bridges� on the processor with a pencil, then just upping the processor speed, also upping the voltage's and changing the cooling the fan to a fop 32.
