The Official OC (OverClocking) Thread!

Not in the US maybe, in the UK we use pretty much exclusively Celsius these days.

 

I guess it doesn't get as cold or as hot then, because there's a lot of places in the US that get very cold and places that get very hot. Here's the records!

Record low Prospect creek, Alaska
-61.611111111111114C
-78.9F

Record high Death Valley, California
56.66666666666667C
134F

Even In the lower 48, in the northern part of the country there's a swing in temperatures of over 150F between the coldest and the hottest temperatures! Celsius would be very confusing to people here, and not as accurate as Fahrenheit without the decimal palces!

 

Seriously Russ, get it together. Surely you can see that the margin of error is higher with Fahrenheit than Celsius with a single decimal place.

 

CAN WE DROP IT?!

 

Nah, where's the fun in that?
Seriously though. Celsius = logical. Fahrenheit = Archaic. All there is to it.

 

much love

so DDP did you know that inches are worse than centimeters?


xD

 

Thank god, someone came to the rescue with these idiots.

Many thanks, ddp.

 

woaw sytyguy, why the personal hit?

 

Again, many thanks!!!!

 

yeah. now can someone please at least make an attempt at answering my overclocking question of a few pages back??

 

This was his question guys.

 

routergod,
The problem is that there are no overclocking adjustments in the bios. You can't change the FSB,or the memory speed, so software is the only thing for you to overclock with. It's a Via chipset, which means it's slow to begin with! Without being able to alter any of these, your only option is software! It also has On board Graphics, which makes a bad situation even worse! I'm not throwing rocks, it's just not a very good motherboard for what you want to do with it! Sorry I can't be more helpful!

Best Regards,
Russ

 

Unless you want a lot of hassle for maybe a couple of % tops, VIA with integrated graphics = no overclocking. Sorry.

 

I think its fair to say if you want a performance boost. Buy a new motherboard of pretty much any type (excluding VIA)!

VIA boards are cr*p!
end of.

 

VIA boards have always been mediocre at best. They aren't OC friendly and they always seem to have some sort of compatibility issue. I've never personally used one but the general consensus is that they're good for office machines and not much else.

 

They're not even good for office machines as they're not even close to being reliable enough.

 

I had an MSI VIA chipset board, worked alright for me. Agreed, there was no overclocking to speak of but considering it came in an off-the-shelf PC I would have been surprised if there was.
