Quick poll to see what we're like at overclocking here on HEXUS.
I don't tend to o/c things straight away if it's gonna be tricky. However over the last year I've become quite the master of pin mods, soldering and so on - so I'm braver. If I could afford an X800 Pro now - it would be modded into an XT, let's put it that way.
So, up until recently, I would eventuall o/c stuff, once I'd plucked up the courage. Now I don't like stock speeds at all!

System in sig...
OC'ed my ti4200 to 621 mem/310 core
OC'ed my CPU (1700) to 2.2ghz
OC'ed my RAM to 200fsb (400mhz)
Then thought it would be fun to see how far i could get the RAM, up went the voltage to 2.9 (reading 3.0v in NF7-S bios) and managed to get it to a whooping 227fsb, 225fsb (450mhz) was stable. Which is pretty incredible for PC2700 (stock 333mhz) Anyway, clocked it back down and now it wont go above 180fsb - so that is where it runs. ARSE.
Dont have the money to get any new stuff...ARSE again.
Need to get a xp2500-m, 2x512mb corsair PC3200, and a raddy 9800pro and try again
Will.
btw - voted "Tried and failed" as i did try, and had it working, but then knackered it....

Errrrr what does stock mean?
Nothing is at standard that can be overclocked here
I would OC more if
A) I had bought better gear when I built my comp 10 months ago.
and
B) Had more money!
Wish I had bought a 2500+ Barton last yr instead of my 2600+. Never mind it does the job at the moment.

My motherboard is crap at overclocking - so pin modding was the way forward. Required balls of steel though - especially after dropping two tiny wires on the motherboard... still haven't found them. Just blew on the board really hard and hoped they flew away.Originally Posted by iMc

My mobo seems to use a lot of juice. Dont think my power supply is good enough for it when i put volts up past 1.65.
Also my case, while being nice, is like a sauna. ****e cooling. Want a nice big full tower or summit eventually.

6 CD drive bays and dual PSU's in my current main rig.
800watts of powah!
PHP Code:$s = new signature();
$s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();
what PSU are you using in that?
HEXUS|iMc
An Antec 450watter powering the mobo and a few other bits.
Enermax 350 tackling most of the other stuff - drives that aren't done by the Antec, fans, etc.

Cool. must have a nice big case that fits 2 psus, or have you just got laying about outside?
I need to get a job to fund my computing exploits, starting to get jealous reading about peeps with monster PC's...

LOL, Nice one
Haven't tried clocking my 2.8 yet but I clocked my Radeon 9800 Pro to XT speeds and i'm waiting til I get back to england so I can try and clock it further
I've overclocked
1700+ to 2.4GHZ Prometeia cooled
GeForce 5900NU to 500/900 water+80w pelt
Corsair 3200@220FSB
and next my pocketpc going to get overclocked
Like I said, the mother has 6 CD drive bays - that gives you an idea of how big it is.

hehehe - to quote someones sig off another forum
push it till it coughs, then back off 1 notch
if it ain't broke...fix it till it is
Am building up a list of dead CPU's
2*2500+ Bartons and an old Duron 1.3 so far.
Hopefully i know enuff not to kill my mobile by now.
Once I get a proper job a Vapochill is coming with the first paycheque
Knight 1: We are now no longer the Knights who say Ni.
Knight 2: NI.
Other Knights: Shh...
Knight 1: We are now the Knights who say..."Ekki-Ekki-Ekki-Ekki-PTANG. Zoom-Boing. Z'nourrwringmm.
Haven't voted cos I haven't tried... Yet!
But rest assured, now my system is based on an OC'ers board... We're frying chips tonight!
