The Official OC (OverClocking) Thread!

what are the votlages you are using, Vcore, Vnb, VTT etc?

 

Here we go again
I5 750

AMD Phenom II X4 965

Bigwill...you're awesome!!! Your where I want to be in the next few months. Just don't have the funds to play around right now

 

thanks omega...atlease i like to plan ahead...i don't have the funds either..I wanna sell all my old stuff and get new stuff hopefully...I'll have another biostar brother in here with you next year...lol

 

interesting stuff, note the 4.25Ghz Phenom on air, versus the 4.6Ghz i5 on air
because there is no real bus limitation for the Phenoms they can clock the highest on LN2 due to the voltage freedom. Note that the i5s top out at 1.65V versus the Phenoms at 1.9V!
The overclocking podium for the i5 750, which are no more than 50mhz apart (8mhz for 1st to 2nd) are shared between MSI's GD65 and GD80 boards and the Biostar TP55 which takes the top spot - just!

 

Here's a short article from Anandtech on some overclocking tests on the Intel i5/750 an the i7 860 and 870! Interesting!

Enjoy,

Yeah the interesting thing is that while the CPUs themselves are great for overclocking, because they house the northbridge, that part of the CPU needs extra voltage to overclock well. Up it a bit though and they take off like wildfire.

 

I think you are overclocking too much

 

That isn't possible!!!!

 

TAKE BACK THOSE WORDS RIGHT NOW! >8-{

 

Lulz, you could at least have pretended you banned him for that comment!

 

hey all. ive learned alot here lately.. for one i didnt know and havent done so until a couple days ago, but when OC'ing you should in bios load optimised default settings. never new that never did it. but damn does it make a big difference. all this time i have been forceing my OC's so ive set everything back to stock and started over. there is alot adjusted for you once choosing optimized defults... im now running 3.7ghz with a measly 1.2825 vcore with the vdrop im running at 1.200v here is my settings as of right now.

plus im back on my ddr2 800 mushkin mem. the ddr2 1066 corsair dominators i had to RMA 1 stick was faulty.

 

1st Test is in ibt



everest



T-Power 2




Gonna drop the volts and see how she runs and do some Prime95 testing over the weekend and installing all my programs.I got 2
many computers to be working on.lol. I'm happy with the UpGrade
of a Few Parts to get the Job...I'll be back with more results

 

Oh very nice. I am impressed

 

UD3P There it is I backed it down to 3.935Ghz and resting at 1.343v at a vdroop to 1.312v.I'm kinda impressed with the board it's holding it's own

Win7 Ultimate


50% oc'd

 

I like it... Just goes to show how bad the Asus P45 I had was that topped out at 3.95...

 

Was impressed with that screen shot until I seen LIMEWIRE on the desktop...Ya lost all respectability and instantly go back to noob status LOL!!!

 

ic how you are...lol it works out for me tho
