How many of you are overclocked?

How many of you have overclocked any part of your PCs? And which ones. Please share your achievements.
I've only overclocked my Duron 750 to 900 Mhz with an old GigaByte 7ZXE Mobo

I haven't tried to yet.

I've got a really slow computer.

AMD K6-2 333 mhz running at 500 mhz. My Gpu is over clocked to 250 core/ 175 mem.

The GPU is an GeForce 2 MX400.

Thanks for resurecting this thread. I now see I have forgot to mention the o/c of my video (Riva TNT2 m64 - yeah old but not enough money to think for another upgrade) - running to 150/150 (125/135 default) with a custom made RAM heatsinks and cooler. It had an approximate 13-15% performance increase. Haven't tried more (but have heard that at least 170/175 is possible with this card).

I am over clocked I have a P4 3.0 ghz prescott chip running at 3.8. I have a water cooling kit on it so that I can keep it cool.

Count be in boys and girls!
I have Duron 1100 working at 1200 - it is funy realy and no use of this but i had to overclock something!
I am planing to take something like 2500+ and then I will have more possibilities to blow up something !

and hide it

whaaaaa

- have FUN all of you!

Oh yes and cheers

now I see this thread again... I used to run my old Pentium 120 MHz at 133MHz for years in a server till really fell apart in pieces, lol.

adzidzor · 03-14-2005, 12:36 PM

How dangerous is it to overclock? I have a Latitude at 900mhz which I'd love to overclock to at least 1.+ mhz.

Drakin316 · 03-14-2005, 02:53 PM

Main thing is to watch the heat on them and if you have to do it manually watch the voltage. I would not suggest doing it manually till you know how everything works. The easiest way to overclock something is in the bios. Just run the clock speed up and run the FSB up as well.

technobeast · 03-15-2005, 12:20 AM

Have you seen ~THIS~. Looks great and for the price of 27 Euro is something I would definitely like to try out. A micro vapochill cooling is a perfect alternative to air cooling I think.

pendrin2020 · 03-15-2005, 06:53 PM

I could see how seven degrees could make all the difference but just look at it... It's a friggin' monster. I mean that thing is HUGE!!!

Stop looking at her and keep reading.

In all honesty, a cooler that size is just gaudy. Now, when you consider how much hotter the upper range AMD's and INTEL's run when they are overclocked. I don't think it would be able to keep up. when you consider that you're spending one third the cost of a low end-water cooling kit I'd go with the water cooling simply because of the stability across high temp frequencies, and it's ability to be upgraded piece by piece if you needed to.

Technobeast, were you talking to me when you said thank you for reviving this thread? Because I don't know if you were talking about the overclocking section of the forum or this thread that we are in right now.

NEWay later.

OH... what the hell, eh. Just to do it again...

I don't see it as a monster. It is high enough to fit into a standard case. And its weight is just 300gr. Compared to other phase change coolers it's small, really deserves the "micro" imho. Yes you may be right that a good water cooling may turn out to be the better choice. It was just a new product and I loved to comment it out here.

o/c is a subject I like (not experimented alot due to lack of finances) and read a bit about it. That's y I said "thanks" when you posted at the thread/forum and, see a good discussion is already taking place.

Thanks again

I would like to overclock my AMD but my motherboard does not allow it on my next machine i am going to spend more money on a good motherboard so i can overclock the machine!

I can get my 1.833ghz barton 333 up over 2ghz, below 60 degrees C, and 100% stable after 72 hours of continual torture tests.
