Overclocking Competition!!!

Only successful OC I've done so far....
and haven't been able to show you...
550->616.
(616/550)-1=12%. Not much of an increase....


Yes, a PIII, locked multiplier.

% increase levels the playing field, allowing everyone a chance.

What say we run benches at stock, and rerun them at whatever we can get to?

Hehe, that would be sweet. I've got an e6300 1.86GHz chip that was logging into windows @ 3.7GHz. But I was running into the limits of the memory I had so I couldn't get it any further, and that board had a lot of vdroop. I wonder how it would do in the x48 with my newer memory. Hmmm... Not sure I want to pull it from the server just to play around again. But, maybe sometime along here.

[Kayin]

Do we have a limit to what we can use for cooling? I'm setting back up with dual loops and my new external rad has to have a laptop PSU to power all the fans it takes.

[Luthien]

My computer isn't currently running (redoing the cooling). When is this going to take place?

[diluzio91]

I'm going to limit to water and air. For air no sticking it in a snowbank for anyone who may have one handy, no freezer loops for the water guys.

[Kayin]

I think you're gonna have to make it a bit more explicit than that. Am I allowed to engineer my own stuff or just off the shelf?

[diluzio91]

I'm going to say so long as the cooling product does not make it possible to go below ambient temperature then it's fair game, that means no endothermic reactions for you kayin...

[Kayin]

So as close to ambient as I can get.

If I get there. I'll post how I did it. I simply meant I can use my own TIMs, fluids, cooling parts, etc. Any reactions like that would require hardlines and insulation. My board has a conformal coating, does yours?

[Luthien]

My computer is up & running again. And though I'm married to Kayin, it's not going to have an endothermic reaction.
