The Official OC (OverClocking) Thread!

i will update the bios and see if it helps. i will probably do it tomorrow and i will let you know if it helps.

 

You do that bro.

 

abuzar1,

Well, it's nice to see you back being wrong! LOL!! How's 4.2GHz? Think that sucks?

It overclocks like crazy on this BioStar MB! LOL!! I'll take that kind of sucking! ROFLMSOAO!!

Best Regards,
Russ

 

i doubt that many people will be able to get that kind of overclock. most quads hit a fsb wall at or before 500. also the q8200 has only 4mb cache and no virtualization support. i would get a q6600 instead.

 

Haha Russ I thought you were smarter than that. Saying I am EVAR wrong just does not do.

Let's see. He is running more volts through that CPU than is safe with 65nm quads, much less a 45nm quad. I can guarantee the average person wont be able to OC it more than 3.4. Combined with the low cache and no virtualization support, Q8200= Bust.

 

Oh and look again. He did 3.6ghz with the Quad core. He did 4.2ghz with the E8400. He also used more than 1.5v which will kill both chips pretty fast.

WHOO, I'M RIGHT, YOU'RE WRONG! I WIN, YOU LOSE!

Isn't Stephen Colbert just awesome? lol

 

abuzar1,

You want a medal, or a chest to pin it on! ROFLMAO!! If you weren't so lazy you would be doing this research instead of wearing out an old man like me! LOL!! 2 points off for laziness! ROFL!

Russ

 

I'm not lazy. I actually suffer from this disease called Chronic Awesomeness. It's hard living with it, but I survive.

 

yea...just have to wait for nehalem to be released now...

 

abuzar1,
Hey, I didn't say you were lazy, you did! LOL!! I just repeated your words! ROFLMAO!!

Russ

 

Well, I changed my mind!

I like suffering from Awesomeness better.

 

arg, i have a dual core (e6700) laying around but i really dont wanna "downgrade", its all quads or octos for me from now on....

 

Hi everyone! HELP! Please give me suggestions on a air cooling salution for a q-6600 chip. Thanks!

 

lol

For what? Overclocking? Stock? Mild overclock? Middle? Extreme?

Few good coolers like the Thermalright Ultra 120 and the Tuniq Tower Come to mind.

 

baltekmi.
Hi Guy,

Get a really big fan, see.... and... LOL!!

Happy Computering,
Russ

 

I think he was talking about the 8000 series chips. btw how many cpu's you got laying around??? lol. Good grief you're talking about setting a Q6700 aside and now an E6700 is laying around... you need to get on eBay and sell some stuff. lol.

.....gm

 

lol He says he has nothing else to spend his money on. I told him to buy drugs but he wouldn't listen to me.

 

come on I am using the zalman and idling at 49c I need a better cooler for oc.

 

boozer you know better than saying something like that.

I wish I was his "friend" that got his cpu culls. lol.

So honestly im... what are you gonna do with the "extra" cpus you have laying around??

....gm

 

lol I TRY to be funny. It helps pass time.

baltekmi, I don't know which Zalman you are using. But if you want by recommendations on cooling then get a Tuniq Tower or a Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme and lap both the CPU and Cooler for best performance.
