OC, where is enuff?

Hey guys, do u guys run abit lower than the max that ** cpu can OC, or quite abit lower?

 

[Jokester]

I'll tend to run the max stable overclock I can, 24/7.

hm, but that will shorten the life of the cpu by a lot yea?

Might shorten it a bit, but by the time it does die you'll have likely upgraded to a 64 core 10GHz monster.

Rofl.


I bought a 1Ghz Tbird a few months after they were released. I did the pencil mod to unlock the mulitplier. I OC'd to 1463 Mhz 133x11. It was my games machine until it became a PDC and file server still clocked at 1463Mhz around 3 years ago, when it began running 24/7. The Tbird is still running 24/7 as an AD master and file server. Same cooler, same fan (Taisol), same TIM (arctic silver), same pencil mod (HB). It's had the cat fur blown out of it a few times

It will most likely reach a recycling plant before it fails

okie, thats nice.

hmm btw, i'm able to get this, but which is more efficient?


2.7Ghz - 180
2.8Ghz - 166
2.9Ghz - 140

Considering between 2.7 and 2.9, should i go for better ram speed or better cpu speed?

 

[Jokester]

Not able to adjust the RAM divider to bring it back upto speed?

I would go with CPU speed myself.

Jokester

 

[wdEvA]

those are the divider that i set..

but if i set a divider of 140, it will be running at around 230Mhz, should be okie yea?

 

[Jokester]

Yeah, if that's the divider settings the (I'm guessing) RAM speed in each of the cases is going to be much the same so definitely go with the CPU speed.
