Does anyone overclock any more? If so, they apparently don't talk about it! Smash

Talk about it too much and Uncle Sam will try and tax the extra value you wrung out of your chip. Best keep it hush-hush.

Laughing - I do, but nothing extreme. My main desktop is a i7 920 OC'ed from 2.66GHZ to 3.0GHz... And I have a Sandybridge system I am messing with that seems ready to overclock... Memory runs 2133MHz, while the CPU does it's Turbo Boost thing up to 3.8GHz!

Yea, it's not as big of a deal any more and it's a LOT easier than it was in the "old" days. Laughing

Most DYI CPU's and MB's will add 10% - 20% OC with out putting in any effort. Used to be you would brag if you could get those numbers.

Indeed. I get an extra 300mhz on stock voltage, and I don't even have to enter the bios, I can do it through Overdrive.

It is apparently way too easy these days...

This took about 4 minutes of "work"... A 3.3GHz chip running at about 4.1GHz with 8GB of DDR3 running at about 2133MHz.



Maybe tomorrow I'll mess with the base clock... Or maybe I should wait until I have something other than the stock cooler on there... Razz

I have my q6600 quad core oc'd to 3.6ghz and that seems to work fine for me. I could push it farther as I have liquid cooling but I don't see the point in it as any changes above that I will only notice in benchmarks and not every day use. Smile

I have my AMD 955 unlocked to a quad core and overclocked from 3.2 Ghz to 4.0 on stock volts and air cooled

Ahhhh............I'm playing with a MSI NF980-G65 and a 1055T. Guess I should start a thread to show what I've done and where I'm trying to go?

For S & Gs I did do this http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=1616907

However "meaningfull & stable" has been kinda hit and miss! Razz

Also look to be working with my 955BE and a MSI 890GXM-G65 fairly soon. Any 955 gurus floating around? Confused
