OVERCLOCKING anyone?

[wtfwfs]

other than for the demand for RGB sync and custom water cooled loops...

anyone is into the pushing the cpu and gpu kinda thing?
overclocking way pass its potential?

share your clocks lai lai?

I have had way more fun clocking memory than CPU/GPU.

Anyway today most modern CPUs especially are already pretty much maxed out. The additional voltage and heat to push that additional 100Mhz or 200Mhz just is not worth it unless you have a good cooling setup. I think most of the old birds here also pretty much run much more straight forward setups today given how must they pushed and tinkered with their systems years ago. Today's trend simply have changed.

sad to hear it...

SAD BUT TRUE~~

im also wanting to jump over to ryzen ytd itchy hand remove my mobo from my case... now pc like test bench but doing 4.6ghz with 1.28v @ average over 60-70 degrees with 75 peak

Go for it la. BUT problem is everything seem to be increasing in prices recently. If you can hold out, wait first lor. All trying to capitalize on the covid situation although some parts lan lan no choice but to increase. No need to panic buy now if your system running stable.

Nowadays CPU manufacturers literally have ways to overclock their CPUs to the max automatically using sensors and shytz and lots of testing

And mind you these turbos need to pass server-level stability requirements, not just count as pass because it passed Furmark or prime95 or something.

Not every manufacturer is able to guarantee an overclock because overclocking itself is not regulated. There are people pushing for it but it will never happen. Overclocking is like luck of the draw. Some can hit high some can't.

The better boards are like Asus and Gigabyte. Though Asus is slightly better overall as they have better memory overclocking support. CPU wise, both about the same though Gigabyte boards tend to require more voltage than Asus boards for some reason.

Nah. Overclocking is a waste of time nowadays. PCs are so snappy nowadays even with entry level CPUs if you are using the average software. Maybe someone who edit videos professionally would benefit but the average guy get nothing from overclocking.

I remember playing strategy games in the 1980s and waiting half an hour for the computer to make its moves. Well overclocking from 4.77mhz to 10mhz did matter.

I remember playing FPS games in the 1990s and the movements were jerks and lunging. Well overclocking from 300mhz to 504mhz was worth it.

But then PCs hit the Gigahertz realm and suddenly it didn't really matter. I don't mind as long as I don't have to wait for 99% of tasks and don't get headaches from jerky frames.

Used to do that a long long time ago. Now, well dont really bother much. But i do oc my ryzen 3600 to 4.1ghz.... using stock cooler from ryzen 1700. Works well so no plans to get bigger cooler.

 

[Clearnfc]

The best oc cpu back then was the celeron 300A... Legendary...increase the fsb to 112mhz and it runs at 502mhz..its awesome...

For AMD... What else but durex!! 600mhz durex oc to 1.1ghz...

Those were the good old days!! Now, nothing much already. Dont even need to oc because intel and amd does it for you...

This THING: --->

is already so unstable when pushing all 32C64T at 100% utilization in code builds. Friggin' segfaults and processor lockups.

Last thing I need is additional instability caused by overclocking.

The more cores, the more headache you will have trying to get all the cores stable. And per core overclocking is going to take alot of time not worth. Even the Intels on HEDT platforms are having such issues.

At stock speeds??
