ahh result. must get myself another couple at that money. if nothing else they help keep my keyboard crumb free!!

Yea must do, tho since i re-seated the cpu cooler and start getting bizarre temps i pulled the oc down a bit. have to look at playing with the volts and try and get the bugger closer to 4ghz....really must spend some dough tho and get a better cpu cooler, keep threatening too but something always comes up.....usually beer!

Members market is a good bet for a new cooler, i can highly reccomend either a Thermalright ultra or a prolimatech megahelims, big beasty coolers that perform exceptionally well.

currently lookng at either the venomous X, or possibly the Antec Kuhler 620....leaning towards the venomous x, as i think the black version will look sweet with the akasa vipers that i currently got on the hyper212

Ah lol, it's one of the best threads on these boards in ages

Definitely - proper good banter and some of the overclocks on here are pretty epic

Makes a lovely change from fanboys and elitist biggots ranting at each other....sad, but a fact of life with some threads on most forums on the web.

This thread is a cracker. Has anyone voted/ Rated this thread yet?

Just waiting for mr Andy Moore to post his result (Post 264)

Yeah been nice to see so many different setups posting results. I rated it when i first set a score

The venomous x will be very good, basically the newest version of the ultra, which i had the black one off, certainly does look the part. I replaced it with a prolimatech super mega, looking back now theres times i think, was it really worth doing so as the cooling is identical.

Yep, gave it the five star vote, fantastic thread with all manner of systems being given a workout in a friendly competitive way. Some of the clocks achieved have been fantastic.

This could be Thread of the year, for all round content, its still going strong. :cool:

kitfit1 · 28 Apr 2011 at 09:32

Yep, great thread. It's really the sort of thing this forum should be doing more often.
Friendly competition, no fanboy rubbish, just peeps that want to improve on what they've done already. The only way any of us get any better at anything is to push harder, competition just gives us that extra nudge.

Talking of "nudges"............................come on Andy..........we're still waiting

JeffyB · 28 Apr 2011 at 12:38

Hope Westie doesn't mind but i updated the table as it was hacked before

LOL

At some point thiis weekend, for sure matey. Any pointers?

Another good thing with this thread is that we're all learning something too. I've been messing around with OC'ing, water cooling and other daft stuff for well over 10 years and I'm still learning. With so much new kit launched so frequently, I don't think anyone can honestly say they know it all

Threads like this is what its all about

Good work matey, and thanks

Thekwango · 28 Apr 2011 at 22:04

2nd effort, with a little higher oc. well chuffed as my oc'ing skills are very VERY basic!!

as others have said, excellent thread, has made me get my finger out and learn a little bit more.....now time for me to get that venomous x and see just how high i can push my i5 750.....

also any of you well informed fellas out there point me in the direction of a good guide(esp for my cpu if possible) that explains oc'ing detail, as in what each of the changes etc do. i've a vague of what to do and how to go about it, but would like to know what the changes i make actually do......

anywhoooo an extra 85 points for me

A hard one to call Andy. At the end of the day, we are running pretty much the same clock with the same cpu. I suspect that you may just be in "benching" mode at this clock ?
I'm not, 5ghz is my every day stable 24/7 clock...................that may be a difference. Also, when i ran the bench..................i ran with my gfx fully clocked as well....................maybe that made a difference ?

Thekwango · 29 Apr 2011 at 00:44

one final attempt until i get a better cpu cooler, albeit a slight cheat, i used the gigabyte easytune facility to get the 3.8oc

wouldn't fancy running that for any length of time without a better cooling solution and most certainly wouldn't want to be running P95!!

but 4ghz here i come.....
