It's in chinese, but look at the pics. Funny, hehe

Wow, and I thought I was the only one without a life.

lol

 

[JBT]

ahah thats funny. Also that is funny is that he has all that CPU power when not underclocked but only has a 32 meg piece of crap video card.

Underclocking Becomes Latest Computer Craze

why would u do that?

So you can see how long it takes to open internet explorer! The guy claimed 2 hours or something, but I can't see how that's possible since earlier versions of IE ran on 66mhz machines well enough.

Ya, i definitely don't see 2 hrs...

But, i bet he could run that with just a heatsink...

Uh..sounds like fun? I'd have to be pretty bored to want to do that.

Eh, it would have to be a pretty big heatsink, if not a full HSF. The voltage is at 1.728v, which is actually higher than normal for a TbredB.

Why? Oh the humanity!

heheh my computer might be considered top of the line if everyone buys into this "trend" 😉

Well it is with a whopping 3.77MHz FSB which is about 20MHz less than most DX2's that ran at the time 😀

BBspot is a satirical news and comedy source and meant to be funny. If you are easily offended, gullible or don't have a sense of humor we suggest you go elsewhere.

tho i beleive some people do underclock some in order to use quieter cooling. makes some sense tbh, a lot of people probably wouldnt notice their cpu running at 1/3 less speed, but might well appreciate less fanage.

Those pple that waste their time underclocking...are the type of pple i would call geeks...that dumb trend is so those 24 hr comp users can have something to do on their comp when they have nothing else to do on it... rather than taking the best alternative which is just go outside get some fresh air and make some friends and actually do something useful and let pple know you actually exist

Actually, it makes no sense at all. Why? Because SLK800 + NMB 18dba/18cfm 80mm fan = silence.

Underclocking is cheaper. =)

Well i would think an SLK-800 would be enough to keep it safe... Wonder why he is overvolting on and UNDER clock?!?
