Overclocking
Does anyone here even bother with overclocking these days with the speeds that current procs are pumping out? I decided to play a bit last night and managed to get 3.2ghz out of my 2.6ghz chip with no voltage increase and yielded stock mem speeds and timings. I wont clock past stock mem speeds so would have to get some 1066 mem if I wanted to take it any farther. Ive heard of people getting 4ghz out of E6750. Not sure if the performance increase will even be noticed though.

I have a Q6600 also, and I have not even bothered to experiment. I prefer stability over a small performance gain. I know a guy at work with a Q6600 (2.4GHz quad), and he was able to get 3.2GHz. Now a days, I really don't see the point in overclocking. I think the last time I did an overclock was on the old Abit BH6 using a Celeron. Those overclocked nicely with no issues.eGoCeNTRoNiX wrote:I have a Q6600 and have no idea what to do when it comes to OCing this new stuff lol

Tried running my vid card up a bit BIG MISTAKE. Had to uninstall ntune, vid driver, and my symantec in order to get computer working normally again. All good now after driver/av reinstall. Only bumped gpu core from 450 to 500 and mem from 1000mhz to 1100mhz. Guess this vid card has seen better days and needs to be put to rest. The 4870's are looking mighty nice atm.
