Overclocking, System Tweaking and Benchmarking what is your specialty.
I just thought that it would be nice for all of us to share what we know about overclocking, but not in the form of a guide specific to a particular motherboard or platform (Intel or AMD), but rather in the form of ask a question and we can all try and answer. But instead of having little bitty...

With this board being so popular, I now know of 5 people, including myself that have one (Razer, Andy, Zizzy, BigKriss, DoOb's). I thought we could dump all good info we come across in here and even add our own personal info / tweaks. To kick off, here's my first bit of advice: Disable C1E...
I thought the overclocking section was a bit too quiet, so I decided I would start a friendly little challenge. This contest is to see who can squeeze the highest FSB (Core 2) and highest Bclk (i7) out of there motherboard! This contest will be split into 3 categories Core i7 9xx or 8xx...

Even though performance of contemporary personal computers does not heavily depend on clock-speeds of central processing units, it is still interesting to know the maximum clock-speed that can be achieved by modern microprocessors. Recently a new frequency record was set, when overclockers from...
Yup, you read right, im selling my i7 and going back to core 2!:huh: Why? Because I dont play many games these days and dont need the power of i7. i7 is also quite limiting I have found, unless you are willing to blow certain parts when doing high overclocks. So, I will now be playing with...
Good Day guys. Here is a little PDF I tracked down. It is an official release from AMD on how to OC Dragon Platform Computer Systems. It is actually applicable to quite a wide spectrum of systems. Just thought I would share it with you guys.
Found this in my inbox this morning:
So I am probably going i7 and thought I would ask this for me and any future i7 owners (and maybe even current i7 owners) Basically I want information, as much as possible. Any comments about overclocking, tips, experience, temperatures, voltages, everything. Thanks
Howzit guys I'm currently playing with a E6300. Specs are : CPU speed : 266x7 = 1.86ghz per core L2 Cache : 2mb Voltage : 1.25v ( i think ) Manufacturing process : 65nm Right, so first things first, I am using the older bigger Intel stock heat sink, so my overclocks will be...
Howzit guys I bought this Pentium D 915 for R100 and I plan to play with it a bit. The mobo has a lowly 800mhz fsb and cpu running @ 2.8ghz std. so thats a x14 multi (200fsb) and its based on a 65nm manufacturing tech. Things I like even before if installed it... x14 multi, 800fsb, 2x2mb L2...

Hey guys This weekend I decided to do a bit of testing. I was wondering if my 24/7 fsb of 425 was maybe a bottleneck for my 9600gt when oc'ed. So I went ahead and got started. First off, 3dmark05 scores with cpu @ 3400mhz ( 425mhz x 8). Ram was running @ 850 5-5-5-15 @ 1.9v Super pi @...

Is it just me or do PCformats 3DMark06 scores always look horribly low? Ill use there Acer Predator that feature a while ago as an example because its very close to my system configuration, just that they were using a better motherboard than me, and had 2x9800GTX+ cards in there as well as 8GB of...
Hi Guys, I've made a [FEELER] topic on Prophecy forums for AlphaCool water cooling stuff But Alphacool is not going to happen. My supplier says they don't want to sell to us, as they've had way too many problems with the Alphacool stuff. So, they mentioned that they'll want to try and get...
As the title states, does it affect that much performance? I just found out my mobo is only 1.1
Hi guys Ja so I have another question for you guys on overclocking. This time, I would like to know at what speed do you run your fsb for your 24/7 clocks? Currently mine is on 1600mhz ( 400mhz ). My reason for asking this is, seeing as motherboards generaly only oficially support say...

I was wondering if any and how many of you guys/girls play around with upping the speed on your pci express bus. Std speed is 100mhz. If you have, did you see any improvements? The reason for me asking is I found a whole long story on the 9600 GT cards that links their clock speeds to the...
Well yesterday I was running Prime95 with my CPU @ 3.6GHz.. It can easily run through it with the voltages lower than 1.496V but I wanted to see how high the temps go before the PC shuts down and restarted. It got to about 106 degrees and didn't shut down, so I just stopped it. haha. Took a...
Just stumbled upon this on-line magazine that may interest our overclocking members - I hope that it isn't old news. THE OVERCLOCKER (http://cde.cerosmedia.com/overclocker/1V4a041f4252a49532.cde)

Closer Look: Sapphire 4850 X2 The newest edition to the Radeon family takes a whole new approach to component layout and appearance. There's a lot of questions I have when it comes to building a twin-GPU graphics card: how much cooling does it need, and how much power will it consume? These are...
I can get an HD 3870 from a friend and have it benchmarked against the current GeForce 8800GTS 320mb I have. Would anyone be interested in the results? Or should I just keep them to myself? :)

So I'm clearing a few issues with my old CPU(E6600) & New CPU (E8500) Step 1: I did a Bios update thinking I might need one with the 45nm chip. Step 2: There is a CPU Setting which allows 0.0 or 0.5 gain on the 45nm chip only (New setting in bios) Step 3: With over-clocking my E6600 to 3.0Ghz...
