Can all CPU's of the same revision overclock to approximately the same speed?

okay i had a long thing written out but i decided after reading the original post to rewrite what i thought

Bar81 --
what he quotes - "all CG revision chips, whether mobile or desktop overclock to the same range"

is a vary vague statement...

what you fail to mention is that overclocking is partial luck and a function of different variables such as cooling, voltage, and temperature.

i think by sickbeast saying... all hit the same at stock voltage, he's including one variable of overclocking that would make comparison possible...

try to compare a 2800+ @ 1.55 volts and aircooling against a 3400+ @ 1.85 volts and phasechange cooling... (both CG revisions)

honestly, Bar81, do you think these two would overclock into the same range? I think not... unless you'd consider 2.3 ghz to 2.8 ghz as the same range.

by Sickbeast saying at stock voltage, it makes comparison a little easier...

1) Another ridiculous comment. Do you want me to
post a picture of my PM's to Bar81? Or do you think
that I'm so crazy that I would even forge that?

Luckily, I don't need to do that.

Tell me. When did I sign up for these forums?

That's right, before you made this thread.

2) My comment is far from ridiculous. You guessed,
and I quote, that "he's saying that all 2800+ A64's
can hit 3400+ speeds at stock voltage." It's right there
in your first post.

I pointed out that he said nothing of the sort.

3) Stop playing around with his words. We (should)
all know what he means, and yet you keep twisting
his words around to what you want them to mean in
a sad effort to prove him wrong.

PS. I'm done, the extra effort isn't needed.

it depends how you define "approximately" but recently, atleast with the athlons, this seems to be the case

But not before "Bar81" flamed half of the people on these message boards.

Bar81 always says "I'm done" at the end of his rants too. Coincidence?

The only thing that has me wondering if you're really him is the fact that you seem to be able to post without flaming constantly. I have a feeling it's all a big act with him anyways though. I don't think anyone can be that disturbed.

I'm not twisting "his" comments at all; I posted what "he" said verbatim. If "he" was vague that was "his" own fault.

*"he" and "his" are in quotation marks because the poster's identity is in question.

Thanks Shimmishimm. :)

Good luck though, you'll probably get flamed for that.

I've tried to be civil with this guy and it's definately not possible. I rarely have problems with people flaming me like this on these boards; I think this guy is the first person to ever personally attack me like this. Hopefully the mods can sort this out; nothing anyone else ever says seems to be able to reach him.

pretty fair evaluation of the situation. Perhaps you should post your orignal writeup too.
