What was your first overclock?

[Big.Wayne]

Hi,

What was your first overclock?

Mine was a Pentium 133MHz that I managed to get running at 166MHz but could never quite get it stable at 200MHz lol

 

[joeyjojo]

Probably a Duron 800 @ ~900

Simple jumper fiddle on the mobo. Didn't know what I was doing, but the number was bigger

 

[IceShock]

mine was a amd 4400x2 which i use now from 2.2 to 2.4ghz lol

 

[OC_A64]

t/bird 1.33 @ 1.45 or so.
Accidentally found a jumper which overclocked the FSB. Been into clocking ever since (~4 years, so a n00b compared to most)

 

[Jokester]

1GHz to 1.1GHz T-Bird .

what i am on now e6700 at 3.3 on stock volts all round

 

[snowdog]

i think an old northwood runnign at 3.2 ghz from 3 ghz on stock voltage, since then i've been overclocking all my cpu's...

[rgzcampbell]

Celeron 300a @450

Mine was an AMD Athlon4400+ @ 3ghz

Blimey nice machine Carl

 

[Mattus]

Palomino XP2100, 1733Mhz at a whopping ~1780Mhz! They were rubbish clockers.

 

[Margaret]

Athlon 64 Winchester 3000+ from 1.8 Ghz to 2.5 Ghz.

 

[harris1986]

Amd 3500+ (winchester) to 2.55ghz

Showing my age here (again!) - 486/33. The details are a bit hazy now but I think it was a simple FSB-equivalent increase. Whatever it was, the DMA chip on the mobo eventually blew and I had to replace the board.

After that it would have been the Pentium 166 as every one I came across would run at 200. That was also the point at which I realised dual CPUs were the way to go.

3200+ Venice @ 2.45 ghz

 

[ghgh]

PIII-450 Katmai @ 600MHz, 133FSB on an Abit BE6-2 motherboard. CPU still works today.

 

[clv101]

Pentium 60 to 66MHz.

 

[Starfall]

Pentium 90MHz at 100MHz, later 110MHz

486 sx 25 to 40 and it made doom run better
