Your best overclock?

My current o/c is a Pentium 4 1.6a (Northwood) running at 143Mhz frontside bus (143x4=572.. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/biggrin.gif]) for 2303Mhz. That's 703Mhz more than stock..running an Antec TruePower 430w power supply, retail heatsink/fan, and increased vcore (stock 1.5v..I think I'm at 1.650 now..maybe 1.675..I shouldn't go any higher)..

=)

I need to find the safe highest overclock for my video card, then I'll be all set.. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/tongue.gif]

Well, using clock speed as an indicator isn't really good. FSB is probably a better indicator.

Biggest leap I had percentage wise was a 66 MHz Celeron up to 100 MHz. So 50% increase. I had a Thermaltake golden orb heastink/fan on this one, which was a great fan/heatsink combo for that socket.

I've only got my 2.4 GHz P4 C running at 250 MHz FSB(so 3 GHz clock) right now though, which isn't really a big jump compared to what I usually do. I don't think I got a very good chip this time around though, as it gets a bit shakey around 260 and such. This is all on stock cooling.

Oh, and my TI 4200's running at 275 core, 550 memory. I honestly can't remember the default though...

With my Athlon XP 2500+ Barton Core

230Mhz x 11 Multiplier, which is 2530Mhz

Original Stock Setting is 1.83Ghz, so that's a 700Mhz increase. Didn't keep it Too incredibly long, since it's summer now and my room is getting hotter, and that usually doesn't help. Now I'm at about 2300Mhz, which is still a 500Mhz increase.

I'm still running my old Radeon 8500LE 128mb. Anyone know any good tutorials on how to overclock it?

My graphics can't keep up with my CPU (P4 3.0 w/800FSB) and I'm too poor to upgrade right now [http://forums.massassi.net/html/frown.gif]

When I had my full tower I had a 2.4C @ 3.2 GHz (266x12). Replaced it with a 3.0C when I got my Shuttle and the highest it gets up to is 3.4 GHz, or 226x15. Meh.

Celeron 800mhz at 1.2ghz. That was fun.

I'm planning to overclock my AMD 64 2800+ from 1.8ghz to around the 2ghz mark, effectively making it a 3000+.

Problem is all the AMD 64 CPUs are locked, so you can only play around with the bus speed a little.

Oops, I didn't see the 64 [http://forums.massassi.net/html/redface.gif] I thought you were talking about an Athlon [edit: XP]... (damnit where the hell was I yesterday... [http://forums.massassi.net/html/confused.gif] )

Although I did notice that you had a 64-bit AMD in your post (Post your setup thread).

Meh.
