Do you want Skynet? Because that's how you get Skynet.

That was my last board before I stopped seriously overclocking. I must have got it refurbed though, Only $130 iirc. (Or maybe it was just that much cheaper in the states?)

I've spent as little as $50 (For a low power consumption micropc build using a chip adapter that limited what bios features would be usable anyway), but usually $80-120 was my price range, with the rare times I'd bump it a few dollars over that when it meant I got a big upgrade for little...

Based on what I saw when I was making this decision myself, from a gaming perspective, you can expect 2-4% FPS gain (where there is a gain, which is hardly every situation), from going from "cheap" 3000/3200 C16 to "premium" 3200 C14 or 3600 C16. In my eyes that straddles right at the line of...

Yeah if memory serves me, there was a brief era even in the very late 90s or maybe very early 00s when Intels were so bandwidth starved on the memory bus that their overclockers were driving absolutely stupid voltages through them to get clocks that could sync up with the low IPC high clock...

Update... Does 3266 stable at 16-18-18-38, but wont post if I bump it to 3333.

Another question: Did 100% run through of memtest (4 instances of just over 3gig). Looks like there's still more headroom. Should I: A: keep pushing MHz with these timings? B: See if I can tighten timings @ 3200? C: Stick with where I am and maybe see if I can reduce voltage a tad? From...

Long story short, I was a pretty serious overclocker over a decade ago. Got busy with life and had a core 2 duo for almost a decade, then an FX for the past 6 or 7 years. Was actually UNDERvolting the FX down to barely 1v and running just over stock (Heresy). Anyway, I upgraded my video card to...
