Maximum overclocking on stock

I thought we could get a big thred going with everyones experiance of overclocking on stock and there results, then anyone who buys a new processor/gfx card can sqeeze the most out of it without buying new stuff.

here is what i have done so far with the Pentium D 3.4ghz on stock cooling and no air flow

so far i have put the bus speed up to 225 resulting over 3.8ghz and it still under gaming does not rise above 55*c which is a safe temp. have not odne anything fansy yet like vaise volts but i will continu

 

you must be livin in syberia or somewhere having arctic conditions than

i can't imagine that cpu not getting burned at all but overloading with a game is out of case i think

don't try that i suppose it won't turn into a coal if you do :doh:

by the way, i corcern a real game like stalker or that kind of fps, needing a boost on the system all over

 

Well I recently got 2.5GHz with my Athlon 64 3200+ Venice which stock speed is 2GHz, and since my RAM is DDR333, I set it to DDR200 in BIOS to divide it and it runs at 332MHz effective, hardly any perfomance lost there, plus Hyper Transport frequency is at 4, giving me a full 1000MHz bus speed, no loss at all in that area, it runs stable as hell with every test on PRIME95 and this is with volts at 1.45 (stock 1.35/1.4v)

As for temperatures, 32 degrees C idle, 37 Degrees C full load, and this is with a standard akasa sink, mind the base of it is copper and there is a side funnel vent going streight to the fan, plus a 12cm intake on the side with 80mm outake on the back.

Case temp varies between 22 and 26 Degrees C as with room temperature.

 

XFX GeForce 7600GS 256MB (AGP 8x):


Defaults:

Core @ 400Mhz
Memory @ 266Mhz x 2


Highest *safe* overclock:

Core @ 510Mhz
Memory @ 390Mhz x 2


NOTE: and that with all stock cooling.

 

nice o/c there, do ya reckon that would put up a challenge for the card up, the 7600GT ?

 

rimmer, exactly - that was what I was basically after when I bought this card. I knew that I could run a GS on my PSU, but wasn't sure about a GT; then I found out that the GS and the GT are the same apart from the memory types (GS - DDR2 and GT - DDR3) and clocks. Well, I couldn't change anything about that memory, but about the clocks, well, that was a thing I had something to say there . So now basically I have a GTS actually rather than simply a GS.

 

nice, personally, just 3 weeks ago-ish, I had to get a new motherboard, and did away with my old nFORCE3 board (Trust me: NEVER buy ePoX Motherboards, they are sh*t) and went off and bought a Gigabyte mATX one with an nFORCE430 chipset. I have just finished with AGP completely, gave my old GeForce 6600 to my dad's PC, quite an upgrade from his old SIS built on. My new board has PCI-E and built on GeForce 6150. So at the moment I am using the built on until I have enough for a 79xx graphic card, havn't decided yet which one.

 

I had my Pentium 4a 2ghz (Northwood B0) running at 2.5ghz on stock. The temp went up about 5c, it idled at 40c and peaked at 45c.

I bought a coolermaster cheapo upgrade which brought the idle down to about 20c and peaked at 30c, though usually 25c. The thing just packed up one day.

I accidently put a wrong cpu in an old motherboard which had 2v pumped into it instead of 1.4v (or something like that) The thing smoked, the stock cooling wasnt good enough

 

The last CPu I fried was my old Athlon Tbird 1333MHz. I shoved the maximum volts available from BIOS into it, didn't dop anything, so i tried no cooling, the middle squary shaped thing on the older athlon CPu's just fried. It never turned on again...
