Whats the best stable Overclock anyone has gotten? [Archive] - ForumsHQ

IF YOU DONT OVERCLOCK, DONT POST. Already had the posts about how some of you think its a waste of time.



Best stable overclock I had was...



PC2100 @ 324mhz

1600+ 1.4 @ 1.7ghz(almost a 2100+)

162 FSB

Air cooled, with the Asus A7V266-E



I had a crap ram stick, and I fried the ram...notice, however, it was still stable up to that point lol

The ram was holding me back, I could prob get atleast 1.8 with the 1600+ I have now..but the new tbreds come unlocked.

New plans



Asus A7N8X

1800+(or higher) Tbred "B" 1.53ghz

Corsair PC3500



Goal is to get it to 2.0ghz(2400+)

If I can get it to a 2.17ghz, thats a 2700+!!

1800+ to a 2700+ (1.53ghz to 2.17ghz)

Thats a 640mhz OC...I dont think I will be able to, but not impossible!



I know the mobo locks the agp/pci bus, so no problems there, and the ram is stable at 500mhz(default is 434?)



Vmods



Only Vmods I am gonna try is on the GPU. Right now I have a 160cfm fan working, but not mounted yet.



I am getting a new case, a taller case. My generic dvd drive wont slide in all the way, hits the motherboard.

sigh...dude, if you dont want to read the post, then dont. It takes about 1/20th of the height of your screen. Its not that big of a deal. Does it offend you? Leave me alone.

whoa buddy..notice the "lol" and "=P"...go throw up off some 151 or something..

[Brunt]

lol =P



151...I only threw that up once :)

I dont think any ram is stable at 500mghz, the highest i've seen is 444mghz, and a athlon xp 1600 or 1700 will get you better overclocks than any of the other amd chips, theres just something about the xp1600 and xp1700 that get better overclocks than all the rest of amd's processors. :P (nice to see another amd fan tho :P)

Corsair PC3500 runs default at 434, and has been overclocked to 500mhz(reported on the internet).



I ran my 1600+ pally untill my ram crapped out on me, had PC2100(266mhz default @ 162fsb = 324mhz), but it was cheap ram, and took my motherboard with it. I love my 1600+.



I am thinking about getting the new 1800+Tbred B or higher...because they come unlocked(I think all Tbreds do though) from the factory. I always had a hard time unlocking those things.
