Nice Overclock CPU

[JohnnyQ]

I got a Core 2 E4500 this morning. It is a 200Mhz fsb cpu with an 11 x multiplier. Pushed the fsb up to 266 and the cpu is running nicely @ just under 3Ghz. The temp is around 35%.

...The temp is around 35%.

Think you're looking for degrees there... 35% the temperature of the sun is pretty warm, you'd basically be in Prescott territory there

lol... well... Push that **** to 3.5 and you can call it a uberclock

or a uberoven

hey... thats not bad... "worlds first pc/oven" feeling a little peckish while you're legs are being burnt by the air coming out the pc? well... JonnyQ has the answer... simply but in a chicken, duck or miniature horse and out comes the best roast chicken/duck/salami...

You guys think it will catch on?

 

[JohnnyQ]

LOL , You got me there. Will try 333fsb later, 3,6Ghz should be an "OK" overclock.

At that speed i would probably be able to cook a whole cow.

At that speed i would probably be able to cook a whole cow.

Or just your motherboard

Running @ 300Mhz fsb now = 3.3Ghz, seems stable, temps at 38% (or degrees should i say), stock voltages and all.

scotty777, What does the **** stand for?

Trust me, that CPU can go waaay further, my E6300 is sitting on 3.22Ghz on stock cooling (it runs at around 35 degrees idle - sometimes makes it to 50 degrees under hectic load), though I have a Zalman CNPS7500-AlCu CPU fan in the mail so as of Monday I should be running somewhat cooler...

Provided you've got decent case ventilation, you should be able to push that processor to over 3Ghz without too much hassle. Otherwise grab yourself a Zalman (the one I am getting is R394 including shipping from Take2.co.za).

What case do you have?

 

[JohnnyQ]

What case do you have?

You will laugh at that machine when you see it, nonetheless, the case isn't really important (in my case), cos it's always open and airflow is very good.

Liquid cooling anyone?
