Overclocking Competition!!!

[tidyboy21]

This is the highest that I have managed to get it up to, 3.9GHz, not bad at all on air.

this is on air.

Shouldnt the leaderboard be based on % overclock, not highest GHz ??

Shouldnt the leaderboard be based on % overclock, not highest GHz ??

I agree, lol. That would put me 1st, right, lol.

Sorry for reviving this thread if nobody cares any more.

This is on air cooling. Prime95 was biting the dust straight away on all four cores. No blue screens or restarts though.

I tried putting the multiplier up to 15 (5.00GHz), but wouldn't boot and had to reset CMOS.

Voltage in BIOS was at 1.575V for VCORE, and I think I had mch and fsb at +0.2V. Not sure why CPU-Z only shows 1.138V.

I'm now properly stress testing at 4.00GHz, 1.45V vcore and normal for everything else. I'll try and get it higher stably after I properly test the ceilings and stable settings on my FSB and RAM in isolation.

If anyone knows, what are the 'normal' voltages for vfsb, vdram and vmch? With my MB, it only shows 'normal' and then +0.1V, +0.2V etc.

Damn boy! That's a helluva sweet system! But the GTX... Why not a Ultra/G92?

Damn...you just knocked me out of highest posted OC so far... I sense another shot at OC'ing heading my way Almost makes me wanna get another CPU so I don't hurt Big D.

That's insane! Wow! Nice job mate!

Heh, forgot to offer congrats in my previous post. Very nice indeed. BTW, I like the rim - what is that?

 

[Cameron]

Haha I would love an ultra, but when I bought the XXX, it was the biggest and baddest. When the ultra came out, figured it's not going to be that much better, and I'm not Mr. Money Bags so yeh.

What's a rim?

And I've read about 'vdroop' - but does anybody know why CPU-Z just shows 1.138V for vcore when ever I have it at about 1.45V or higher?

Validation?

I could care less unless you have validation to prove it. Edited screenshots occur way too much.
