    Who is OCing

    I am. Running a P4 1.7 at 1.87. That does not sound like much but it seems to make things run smoother.

    Any one else? I hear that 10% is about the max that one should OC.

    I was overclocking my P4 1.7 (423) to just under 2ghz but i had to back it off,because it was too unstable.
    I'm running at standard core speed now.

    Straight core speeds on all components. I was a retard and bought an INTEL MOBO, never again.. though I did get it cheap. My next MOBO purchase will be an ASUS motherboard for sure.


    Vid card, overclocked it, benchmarked, didn't improve much, so back to normal.

    Bumped my core voltage to 1.75 on a Barton 2800 FSB340,2.125GHz.Stock settings on my Radeon 9500(softmod 9800) right now but have had the core at 324 and the mem at 283 and got a nice 3d2003 score of 4499.I don't want to get carried away with that stuff right now.It's a good all around system.The way to go with ocing right now seems to be with intel chipsets anyhow.I hope AMD will allow multiplyer unlocking on their new cpu's.

    I'm considering it. I just read that my 2.6C P4 can hit 3.5 Ghz with the stock fan!

    There is where AMD kinda threw me for a loop when they went back to their old rating system.Don't get me wrong AMD chips have always performed well for me and I've sold a lot of them.They are the poor man's Intel as far as price goes,but I think they should have incorporated unlocked multipliers with their Thoroughbreds and Bartons,without having to epoxy bridges together or buy aftermarket devices.Now from an article I read on the cpu time lines AMD doesn't plan on anything more than their 400fsb for the 32 bit architecture.If they don't go after the Intel Oc'd market prices on Intel cpu's will probably stay high.Are the Speed Wars over?May the nForce be with you.

    Not big into OC'ing, but my server is running a AMD1400 which I have clocked up to 1.4 I will probably try to clock it up a little more once I have my server problems resolved.

    Conan you have a overclocking monster...your ram is top notch so have at it what U waiting for.....

    All Thoroughbred "B's" and Bartons have unlocked multipliers you need a board that enables you to use them

    In OC'n AMD it's the lower multipliers you want because you need to raise the FSB as high as you can and still run the CPU in sync with the ram. Your ASUS A7N8X-D should do this...

    If the prices fall on the P4 2.6c/2.8c then AMD will need to come out with a new chip fast or INTEL will kill them....

    Stripe...I think servers are suppose to be super stable, not overclocked game rigs...hehe

    Well I upped my FSB to 215 and was almost hitting 3 Ghz. However, my onboard sound ceased to function at that speed! Why is that? Benched my CPU at that speed with Sandra and was blowing away both Intel 3.2 and AMD 3200.

    I put it back to 205 now and my sound is functioning fine. So FastGame, care to guess what's with my sound?

    I think you broke the sound barrier at that speed.

    Whenever you increase the fsb it also increases the bus speed of peripheral cards and onboard features because they are designed to run at a percentage of the fsb.

    There is no point in overclocking,apart from the RAM,unless you are a big gamer.Overclocking for everyday normal usage and playing the occassional game will be of no benefit.

    Just my opinion.
