Tell us your OC story!

Ok people, tell us a detailed description of your successfull overclocking story.
Personnally, I just recently started experimenting with OC'ing. I successfully unlocked my T-bird 850MHZ, I can run it stable at 950MHZ at 112 FSB and 8.5x multiplier, however, I could have done this without unlocking. I'm waiting to get a better cooler before attempting to oc even further...if my mobo and components can run higher.

"Your official supplier of garbage cans, cabs and caps!"

I got my P1-166Mhz to run very stable at 200Mhz!!!

I got a 120 mhz cyrix to run at 166 mhz at work.

If you can find it on the internet, it HAS to be true!

I got a PIII 700 to run at 1.2GHz at 2.55v. But not for long. Ran it at 1021 for a long time. I've done better.

What's the frequency, Kenneth?

Asus CUSL2 for the regular speeds just over 1GHz, I had to use a Slotket !!! on an old Abit board (a BF6 I think, but I don't have it around to see, sold it) to get the higher voltage, and it locked during post, the BX probably didn't care for the 172MHz bus speed any more than the Crucial PC133 did. In fact it never even made it to the memory count before it locked, but it did post speed. Also, it was not a system, just a bare board with a stick of PC133, a processor, and a huge passive heatsink with an 80mm fan blowing on it. I was testing to see just how high the processor would go.
I also had a Celeron 533A run at something like 952MHz and run windows for a few days, along with various programs.
I had a Pentium 75 reach 166 for all of about 2 minutes before it fried, that one was passively cooled and I planned on throwing it out anyway. I had about 20 of the things and that was the highest out of 20 and the only one that burned up.
Abit boards seem to be hit or miss. The BE6-II I have now doesn't seem to like high bus speeds.

What's the frequency, Kenneth?

I've never seen a 700 that wouldn't do 933, but I've heard stories that well over 1% wouldn't.
BTW, my friend runs his 1000EB at 1250MHz on an Asus CUSL2, the one I sold him!


What's the frequency, Kenneth?

multiple stories!

my first overclocking attempt was a p2-300 on the 66bus speed. any overclocking attempts made the speed go SLOWER.

second was my cellery-500 on a asus p3b
was very stable at 75 bus speed (562mhz)
also with the same system i took my poor TNT2 (no fan) from 125/150 up to a ludicrous 157/205!
and it didnt burn out!

last year i got my amd 1200C & a7v133
ran for 5 months @ 1350 & 150 before the ide controller got corruped beyond hope cauz of bad fsb. replacement mobo (current one)iwill kk266 gave me more voltage, allowing me to get up to 1450mhz. also got my geforce 2 pro 200/400 up to 215/460.

next week, new mobo, new ram. epox 8k3a+. extra voltage may mean i can hit 1500mhz.
9x166 = yum.

WELL???
have u reached 5Ghz yet????

Easy man... don't think I'm gonne OC today... I also first want to install Win2k I hope I can reach the TerraHerz tomorrow.

... this is Svol from his hovering PC... aproaching Mars... stand by please...

Yup... it only will take some time to download SP2 and all patches.

Well first I would like to thank Toms Hardware. (OR BLAME) them for the overclocking experiences I've had so far.
See it started when I got my first computer.
Packard Hell
P75
32mb ram
4mb power color S3 Virge 325
36k modem
Aztec sound card+ 14.4 modem
850mb Conner hard drive
15" monitor w/speakers
This was top of the line smokin at the time. Then some time passed and I finally fiqured out how to do something besides surf the net and check my email. Started to play a few games and IT WAS SLOW.
My brother in law ,JD ,too me over to the college where he worked and we played 8 player Descent on the college lan. These were new p133 systems and they just blew my P75 away.

The he told me about a site called sysdoc.pair.com (MAYBE it was JD's fault) Well my p75 soon became a p100 from overclocking.Then a P200 by Evergreen with a 16mb Banshee.

Fro there It started getting serious.
P200@262 2.5x105
P2 266@300
P2 350@467
P2 400@532
P3 450@657
P3 550@869
P3 700@933
P3 800@948
P3 1000@1185
P3t 1266@1583
and so the story goes, All of these were my personal computer at one time. Now they all belong to family or friends except the P3t 1583 which i"m typing on now.

So does anyone know of some sdram memory that will do 166= at cas 2 or 170= at cas3 so i can see what this thing will really do. I can boot at 170 cas3 now but I get memory errors. I already have some Crucial pc133cas2- 256mb and Infinion pc133cas2 -512mb but neither of these two will top 166fsb and be stable. I just need a little bit more and a little bit more and a little bit more...........

I aint signing nothing!!!

I don't want to get near Uranus... Labdog lives there .
I'm now through the astroid belt and cirkling around Jupiter... next stop Saturnes.
