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

 - 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.
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...  |

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.  |

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