after christmas the pentium 4ghz 1 mb or 2 mb cache will come out surelly 64 bit and its gona pack a heck of a lot of a punch for computer part industry first of all computer parts will drop due to the 4ghz bus speed which will need new motherboards to support and new software and video and sound cards will be avalibe to suite its features. if any of you were looking to buy a pc wait a bit after christmass unless it gets delayed and slowely but surely the prices will drop and probely athlon will introduce a new cpu to match p4s. this would be a good chance for over clockers to realy give this cpu a run for its money i was wondering what do anyof u think u can get it up 2 overclocking it to the maximum with out damage to motherboard or anything else
 
7-8GHz.. thats NUTZ!!! i doubt u can OC it from 4GHz to 7or8GHz!!! but u might be able to get it up a bit.. but u better be using a WC setup on it!! and if ur planin on gettin this CPU, that comes out after Xmas.. u better start savin up now!!
 
yer its gona cost a heck of a lot but it will have benifits and cpus like intel p4 3.4 extreme edition will go down a lot would u be able to clock it up to 6 ghz saftely dop u think
 
i see why u say that but its like every time new tecnology comes out it is like a landmark every time they improve the tecnology its from that new Design sometimes very rarely from old versions of the cpu when 4 ghz comes out u would expect more from intel because from now there gona keep trying to improve it as much as they can
 
i saw a 6.0 ghz cooled with liquid nitrogen, but it wasnt bench stable, not really any point getting a cpu thet high, as someone esle mentioned i would aslo prefer a 3.8 EE to a standard 4.0
 
well if that is possible.. why in the world would u waste ur money and time on OCin it to 7GHz.. i mean seriously, what is the point!! a 4GHz CPU is high.. i mean shit!! the 2GHz CPUs arent that bad.. and ur talkin about 7 or 8GHz.. thats just crazy!! why dont u just stay with the CPUs stock speed.. 3.2GHz..3.4GHz..3.6GHz.. there really isnt any reason to OC those!! OCin that is just a way to reach unstability and a system failure.. when u didnt need to OC it in the first place...
 
i see were your going but the ability to clock the cpu this high will intrege people who demand faster pc my self personallly would only overclock up to 4.4ghz because after that i fear the pc will become unstable whats the point to chance it if u just stick with the manufacturers speed the pc will live longer i guess
 
yes..exactly.. cuz 3.2 or 3.4 etc.. those are really good speeds.. the smartest thing to do it leave it on that speed.. that way ur money last longer, and ur system does out perform itself and ur stuck spendin over $1,000 to get another nice comp back.. i just think its nonsense to OC up to 5-6-7-8GHz..
 
stable @ 5.4ghz...where in that statement is there "instability, system failure"? its liek saying im going to buy a viper and never take it to the track/upgrade/tune...yah theres people liek that who will just by an absurdely priced machine and never push it to its limits, but thats just stupid to me. its liek saying "would you rather have a 4ghz computer or a 5.4ghz computer?" "is the 5.4ghz more expensive, and is it just as stable" "it costs just as much as the 4ghz computer, its jsut as a stable, and its alot faster" "hmm..i'll take the slower one" the point of overclocking is not to be satisfied..if you're happy with a 2ghz computer than thas kewl...overclocking probly isnt for you. its just fun to see how fast you can get your computer. if i know i can push my computer more...than it's not fast enough. until its maxed out at the point of instability, i'm always gonna want to overclock it more.
 
but im sayin.. it will cost more because ull have to buy a WC system to keep it from bein unstable.. as where if u didnt OC it that high.. u wouldnt need to use that money for a WC system.. when the stock speed of the CPU is fast.. and cars a differ from a PC.. unless u and ur friends race ur computers.. hmm.. but OCin at those speeds is costing more money when u think about it because of what u have to buy to keep it from becoming unstable... im a VERY impatient person.. and i can deal with the 2.2GHz and CPUs around that area.. so whats the point in havin 6GHz or 7GHz.. that will lower the life of your computer...

true...but i'm not complaining about money...i use the money i save from buying expensive hardware and put it towards better cooling.

yes we do...most of the time. you compete in benchmarks, computer games, internet speeds...coputers are all about speeds and whsos is faster. if you have a slower PC you will most likely lag in games, have lower benching scores, and stuf fliek that. while benchmakrs arent the most important part of youre PC (just like MOST people never "race" there car) its for the few that still enjoy it.

obviously not impatient enough...bcuz my 2.6ghz computer is still too slow for me. like i said b4...overclocking isnt for EVERYONE. if you cant afford it/dont see the point...then dont do it. but i love it, so naturally i think its worth the money.
 
well yea.. but with my old XP 3000+, FX5600 256MB GFx Card, 1GB PC2700 (512MBx2) RAM, i didnt LAG in games... and trust me, im VEERYY IMPATIENT i start cussin and hittin shit.. and my internet would run fine, so did games with that system i just named!! and i didnt OC..
 
people who dont have that much money would settle fine and stick with there system incase something goes rong or it decreases the life of the cpu even people with a fair bit of money wouldnt want to buy a new cpu everytime they mess up oc or if it lowers the expected life i understand poeple wanting to push there pc to the limit but over clocking it a bit is fine but at outrageous specs i say its to risky
 
yea.. im with compfreak on thist one!! OCin a lil bit isnt bad.. but takin OCin it an extra 2-3GHz is insane!! but hey, i guess whatever floats ur boat (water)!!!

i've overclocked for 2-3yrs. now and never fried anything. but caution really should be taken. if you're in the -100C range you're not going to fry anything from the overclock heat most of the time. it's usually condensation/water/electricity that will kill your hardware at those temps. theres a point though where no matter what tempp you're at your hardware just wont go anymore no matter what voltage. that's why the $1000 vapochill's and the like ARE pointless...unless you're shooting for 2-3GHz. that kind of hardware isn't for everyone...i know its out of my budget. i spent ~$600-$700 on this computer i believe, i'm poor just like everyone else lol. no job or anything...but i save and get the most out of my hardware as i possibly can.
