going for 4ghz just about there




anyone else overclocked theres and what results??

anyone with windows 7

forgive me for being a little thick but whats overclocking do.?? can ya do it with any pc or does it damage them or something

 

thats a good motherboard or a lucky chip with no fsb wall.
That 8x mulitplier sucks usually.

I used to have an e8400 on a 650i,
I see that you're running close to max vcore. 1.35v.
If you dont hit the wakll you could hit 4ghz, but the core2 doesnt see any benefits once you're over 3.6ghz.

Still impressive overclock fella.

 

overclocking is just changing the computer settings to gain clock speed etc for better performance, can be done on most comps but not every comp, obviously you need to know what your doing and need the right cooling etc for the system otherwise it could end up melting

 

just out of interest whats windows 7 like, im still on xp but was looking to change??

 

these chips love to be overclocked theres a few about at 4.2ghz atm running the same voltage as i am so have to see how it goes but still got plenty of voltage left in her yet , disagree about the benefits i run the bencmarks everytime i make a change and from 3.6 to 3.76ghz still seeing quite large gains

 

very impressive you need to change over asap to see how good it is and how well it performs

 

cooling for cpu



cooling for gfx card XFX 4870 1024 mb overclocked

 

tidy! keep us informed if you get 4GHz

 

Yer I had the early revision co wolfdale.
Yer definetely u got some potential still.

With my benchmarks and findings, memory bandwidth read and write always increased, all the way to 4.4ghz
Gaming the gains dropped off once i hit 3.8, and had little impact after that, but It was dual core, with an ancient xfx 65oi and a 4870.

Only thing to watch out for is degradation with continual high voltage.

get it to 4ghz upload some pics mate.

 

Our lass bought a new laptop yesterday with Windows 7 on it, its obvious how much cleaner and tidier it is, can hide stuf away at the bottom so it doesn't get cluttered. Seems to work much faster as well.

And thats coming from someone who doesn't really know their arse from their elbow about computers and the workings of them!

 

will make the final tweeks later on i hope just got some stuff to do before then so dont want to risk it just yet

temps still seem very good, all four cores idling at around 42 and under load around 58

 

I know nothing about overclockiing, but liked the look of that programme and heres my results ??



am i overclocked already ?

 

i cant even make the piccy out my eyes must be bad i "think" it looks standard @ 2.7ghz?

 

its not your eyes, i cant read it either

 

thank god for that

 

ram is holding me back managed 3.85ghz but ram wont do anymore its maxing out at 980mhz not bad for 800mhz ram need to order some of this

Where do you go on the pc to overclock it? I am on windows xp

 

You can d/l utilities that help, or go through the BIOS. Without wishing to appear rude, if you are not sure where to find it, I would suggest you should not be doing it (unless it's a machine that you do not mind if it goes tits up).

I did have my 8400 up to 3.4 on standard cooling, but wound it back as I no longer play games on the PC. I only have a midi case as well, so no go for after market coolers.

 

Im running a Q6600 stock, id overclock but i dont really play new games nowadays.

But is mine a good overclocker or what? i know theres 2 different versions of the Q6600 but im not sure which mine is

 

I started to do mine, then found out I'd managed to get possibly the only Q6600 in thw whole world which is shit at OC'ing.

 

download cpu-z and show me which one it is

 

I have a Q6600, is it the G0 stepping one thats good for overclocking.?

Im looking at building a new PC in the new year running an I7 extreme with 2 Ati HD5970 or similar cards, solid state discs etc etc... Will be looking at dabbling a little with the OC on that.

My mate is right into the OC.. He tells me tales of people cooling the CPU with liquid nitrogen to push them up to silly speeds..

 

mate you sound like you dont know anything about it no offence but spend a month or so reading up on how to do it then start out small otherwise youll end up melting yor cpu

 

yeah nitrogen gets to silly speesd i think some ppl were using helium aswell

 

LOL @ cossierich, its not an option you click

Nice work danneth, I want pics when there is smoke pouring out

 

I see it says "revision go" meaning its the good one yeah?

Pics abit small for some reason




Does that mean i can go mad if i wanted to?

 

no, im guessing you have standard cooling? only things with these chips they can be clocked but they run pretty hot so on standard you could only probly go to around 3-3.2ghz and that depends on what ram you have in there

 

Why is the GO one better then? i know it is im just not sure exactly why.

When i say mad i didnt mean 4+, over 3 is good for me

 

as long as its not a memory hogger like crappy vista was,
I think i'll get a copy of it then.

 

the G0 stepping version uses less power as standard....
so overclocking is more reliable...

 

 

i run 3.8ghz all the time on my e8500
had it to about 4.2 ghz but for reliability i dropped it back

 

yes i realisese its not an option you click or a switch you press, im just asking how you go about doing it. Not done it before and as a network engineer for the nhs we generally dont overclock our server's

I am going to go look on google now. If i mess up a machine its no big deal

 

long as your not daft you wont mess it up, get cpu-z etc and keep an eye on the temps make sure your not going above 70o under load and the worst you will get is the comp crashing then you just keep changing it in bios do abit of reading on it it first

 

its not only uses 25% of your memory

Cool mate cheers Have got CPU-z anyway. Found the 1st stumbling block. Dell lock their motherboards and you cant change any settings to do with clock speed within the bios apprently there is a way round it by bridging a couple of jumpers but there must be an easier way. Going to invesitgate it now. If i dont reappear on here for a while its because im building a new machine

 

oh dell :-(

could try programme's like clockgen but even if it does work numbers would be very limited

best guide I've found. Taught me alot that did
