Hey everyone,
I was just looking through the CPU section on the forum, and I thought, "Hey. I'll make a thread for people to brag about how much they've overclocked their systems" and here it is.

I'm currently hitting 3.3GHz on my 9950 on a budget Asus board, but I'm changing to a better board soon, so I'll see how far I can push it then :D
But the question is, how far have YOU overclocked your system? I'm sure we'll see some crazy numbers here. So go on, tell us your overclocking stories, we'd love to hear them.

Cheers,
Chris.
 
Well atm ive got my Q6700 at 3.4Ghz and my Q6600 at 3Ghz, but recently I made a PC for my cousin and clocked the E5200 in it to 3.75Ghz in literally 2 seconds, its an amazing CPU.

My Q6600 is at 3ghz with 1.3vcore. VID 1.3. I can also get it to run 3.6ghz stable at 1.52 ish vcore. But my motherboard is heating up and causing crashes. PC is fine with the side of my case off. But I'm going to water cool it, so then I can push my chip further. :D
 
Oooh, a willy-waving thread.


E5200 at 4.0GHz, with air cooling, 8 hours Orthos stable.

The best chip I've ever owned, and I'm convinced it's the best E5200 on the forum.:cool:

Stumbled across this thread looking for E5200 clocks and something to aim at :)

But seeing as I am here better wave the e-pen a bit:

Q6600 on Air 8 hours prime stable:

My Q6600 is at 3.57GHz (tho I like to round it off to 3.6GHz lol) I used FSB 445, 8x multiplyer, 1.45v. Seems if I try and go over 3.6GHz to 4.04GHz the machine starts to get errors before entering Windows...I am using an ASUS P5Q-E...(sig says the rest). How have u guys managed to get 3.8GHz and above on the Q6600? surely I am missing something...hmmm perhaps that would be water cooling lol...:D
