Bored lately so back to OCing the PC. So far...

Abit IC7-Max 3

Corsair TwinX1024-3200LL @ 196MHz 2-2-2-6

Unfortunately, temps are a little high at 49C/55C but strangely are not really different than running 3.0GHz.

Cooling the CPU with a Thermalright XP-120 and Panaflo 120mm. The case has a Antec 120mm intake and another for out.

pentium 4, 3.0ghz 800fsb L2 2mb cache. overclocked to 3.6ghz. running 39 - 47c at max. 240x15 fsb

2 gigs ddr2 400 memory running dual channel

maxtor 100gb hd

ati radeon x1300 256mb graphics card

3 thermaltake case fans / standard intel cpu fan heatsink

comcast broadband tweeked to 6.5mbps.

:devil:

I'm sure you've seen a billion Sandy 3700+ OC's.

Highest semi-stable (fine for gaming and daily work, not prime95 stable after a while) OC:

Highest 100% stable OC:

I'm using a Tower112 heatpipe cooler with AS5. I keep my office pretty cold (around 60F), thus the cold temps. Even under full load, I've never seen the CPU above 115F. I'm afraid to give it any more voltage to push it higher, though. Opinions?

Also got a 6600GT to 570/1.16, but that's nothing special.

Peace,

Pete Zaria.

AMD Sempron 3100+ 90nm

1.8 MH -> 2.6 MHz (290 x 9 @ 600 HTT)

On air cooling max. temperature on 100% cpu usage is 43 C after 2 ours of video converting :yes:

Dam, what Vcore you using on it?

I've got the same CPU, running @ 2.53Ghz on 1.48V, prime95 stable. Temps go up to 48Cish when gaming though - Prime95 torture test took me all the way up to 54C after a while :pinch:

Had to bump up my chipset voltage too, CPU is only 32C idle :)

I'll try to take it further when i get some better cooling :yes:

How fast is that in usual usage > load times etc. How long does it take to work out pi to 1000000 digits?

SuperPI 1m is 40 Seconds bang on, could proberbly get it lower if my ram was running faster (had to run a divider on it, only running at 180Mhz atm)

Haven't noticed a difference in load times though - CS:S Seems quite a bit smoother :yes:

Temporary:

3500+ Newcastle

DFI Lanparty NF4 Ultra-D

1gb Patriot

... Had it solid at 2.6 but was runnin a bit hotter than i'd like with stock cpu cooler

Currently at 2.47 (275x9) This ram has surprised me, so far i've gotten it too 280 without any stability issues but haven't done a hard/long test at that speed.

Late this coming week I'll be water cooled thankfully so i'll be uppin the juice when that gets here and really let this thing loose.

    • Well I've done a grand total of nothing, and it now clocks between 2010mhz and 1995mhz (stock is 1710mhz) and hovers around 80c, warmer than it used to, but tolerable clocks seem to have returned. Thanks for all the advice on this thread. Will review the evidence and make a choice.

    • I really wonder if this has to do with the built in VPN or "private DNS" of browsers that trip up legal requirements like cookie consent and Cloudflare (to avoid all the botnet attacks we get). And BTW some botnets still manage to get past Cloudflare, we are constantly having to tweak it to block malicious traffic that ultimately cause a DDoS.
