***OFFICIAL OcUK HWBOT OVERCLOCKING TEAM***

[jmc007]

Well set up that old atholon xp 2600+ rig. First overclock after refitting the heatsink, just got into windows when, crash everything died. Felt the heatsink and nearly burnt myself; yes, I forgot to connect the cpu fan.
At least I got away with the puddles of water on my current rigs mobo and didn't kill it; just some random usb driver errors for a day untill it dried out. Didn't realise those picnic box freeze blocks would give off so many droplets of water.

the 0 points means you have missed some of the tests

by the looks of it - you did not include/failed to run cpu test 2

i am in the process of benching some new 'overclockable' cards

[Ninja Please!]

and do I only turn off physx with vantage?

 

[Greebo]

I might start and get some points now

good grief! he's back!!!

i think a few scores from the bread bin wouldn't go a miss!

my 285s are coming out to play today

got a very special chip on the way soon - hoping for a few 5GHz+ scores

 

[Greebo]

Anybody know why my wprime 32m scores are so pants?

I get 10.1 secs with Superpi yet 35 secs with wprime and slower q9650's are scoring around 9 secs

 

[Greebo]

1.5 points scored for the team. More to come as I crank my cpu upwards.

Another 0.4 points

CPU-Z 4.770

[Marine Iguana]

Nice going with the clocks on that, hows the 5Ghz region seem on that looks like your gradually getting there.

 

[Greebo]

Another point gained! 4.824Ghz

http://www.hwbot.org/result.do?resultId=867625

Yeah, I was stuck at 4.68 for ages. Couldn;t up the fsb by 1 without failing but got past that now.

Still on my pants corsair 6400 memory. My OCZ 9200 blades coming tomorrow.

I can almost smell 5ghz......................

 

[Marine Iguana]

You make it sound so easy lol nice work

 

[Greebo]

Another 3.2 points

http://www.hwbot.org/result.do?resultId=867656

I really should go to bed..........

 

[Greebo]

Well I reckon I can get 2nd place in wprime2 tonight. I did a run under 8.100 secs early this morning but I was pushing the limits of stability and explorer crashed before I could enter/save it.

I went to bed instead.

New ram arrives today which hopefully should improve things.

Looking around at some other cpu tests I reckon I can pick up another 10 to 20 points tonight for the ocuk team

Got my cpu to 4.855 Ghz last night/this morning so that will get me a few more points in cpu-z. I haven't done a superpi run since 4.68Ghz so should finally break the 10 sec barrier.

I also managed a quick test run of pifast and did a sub 20 sec so will have to post that tonight.

So all told I am one happy bunny. I never thought I stood a chance of getting any hwbot points until I got my new mobo.

EDIT: WOah I'm now 8th in ocuk's team and 94th in the UK Not bad for 2 days submissions.
