l33th41 0 Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Just wondering if anyone out there enjoys pushing their system to the limits like I do... This is including CPU, GPU, and/or RAM overclocking! I'd like to see some specs, #'s, benchmarks, etc. ! -I currently have an Athlon 64 4800+ (939) @ 2.7Ghz Not a real good overclock in general.. but decent for this particular CPU as it is known to be a poor overclocker - My Memory is OCZ Platinum Rev. 2 (2X512) @ DDR490 with 2.5-3-3-8 2T Timings I know this memory can handle more but in my system I'm kinda stuck here because of my CPU - I also have an x1800XT 512MB running just short of Platinum Edition speeds Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pz3 338 Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 iv taken my cpu AMD64 X2 3800+ 939 to 2.73ghz .... before. it is currently at 2.3ghz.... My AMD64 3700+ I took upto 2.8ghz it had more room to go but ran a little to hot. run my 3GB Corsair XMS memory at 2-3-3-7.... 2x1gb and 2x512mb Dont usually overclock my video cards as I don't care to gain the extra 2-10fps... although this AGP 7800GS (AGP) im on right now is supposed to clock upto 7800GT (pci-e) speeds with no problems. Only reason im not trying to push the limits of my system right now is since I rejoined the OE2 mod team not looking to corrupt any of my hard drives. Theres to much good graphical stuff on them right now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
l33th41 0 Posted December 29, 2006 Author Share Posted December 29, 2006 Nice! I don't blame ya for not wanting to corrupt OE2 data. (BTW...I can't wait for OE2 and Crysis!!!) I originally had a 3500+ @ 2.75 before I upgraded to the 4800+ My original plan was to get that 3800+ and overclock the hell out of it! But I ended up getting that 4800+ right when the Core 2's came out so the Athlon prices dropped like a rock. Here are my full specs/settings Motherboard: Asus A8R32-MVP Deluxe Chipset: ATI Crossfire Xpress 3200 Bios Revision: 404 CPU: Athlon 64 X2 4800+ Toledo Voltage: 1.4V Vcore OverVoltage: 200mV FSB: 270 Multiplier: 10x Core Speed: 2700MHZ HTT Multiplier: 4x HTT: 1080MHZ Heatsink: Thermalright XP-90C Fan: Panaflo 92mm Thermal Compound: Arctic Silver 5 Memory: 1GB OCZ Platinum Rev. 2 Memory Limit: 183 Speed: 245MHZ (DDR490) Voltage: 2.80V Timings: 2.5-3-3-8 Command Rate: 2T Video Card: MSI X1800XT 512MB Cooler: Arctic Cooling Accelero X2 Drivers: ATI6.11 Core Speed: 682MHZ Memory Speed: 792MHZ (DDR1584) Hard Drives: (2) Western Digital Raptors Size: 37GB RPM: 10,000 Interface: SATA150 Configuration: RAID0 Power Supply: Enermax Liberty 500W Modular Sound Card: X-Fi Fatal1ty Xtreme Gamer Prime95 Stable: Yes - 24 Hours CPU-Z Verified: Yes - Click Here to View Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kamakazi 0 Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 I have my X2 4200 at 2.7. I would get higher, but there is something that is not meshing well with my crappy G.Skill RAM. And my 7900GTX is pumped up a bit. Lots and lots of fun. PS. OC.net FTW Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stalker_Zero 0 Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 I'm too scared to overclock. Don't want to ruin some hardware and void the warranty. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kamakazi 0 Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Overclocking rarely voids the warranty on components if you build it yourself, I don't know about Dell and stuff like that. But I know that AMD and eVGA and those type of companies will replace a OC'd CPU. As long as you don't tell them you OC'd it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
