CPUs that you have overclocked in the past

[AdamK47]

I've owned A LOT of CPUs in the past. 95% I've bought with the sole purpose to overclock them. All of these were my primary system CPUs at one point. I've only had one complete system at a time if you can believe that.

Pentium 166C to 180 = 8.5%
K6-2 300 to 333 = 11%
Celeron 300A to 450 = 50%
Celeron 300A to 464 = 54%
Celeron 366 to 550 = 50%
Pentium III 450 to 600 = 33.3%
Pentium 500E to 700 = 40%
Pentium 500E to 750 = 50%
Pentium 650 to 910 = 40%
Pentium 650 to 1021 = 57%
Athlon TBird 1GHz to 1.15GHz = 15%
Athlon TBird 1.2GHz to 1.25GHz = 4.2%
Athlon TBird 1GHz to 1.35GHz = 35%
Athlon XP 1600+ 1.4GHz to 1.5GHz = 7.1%
Athlon XP 1800+ 1.53GHz to 1.6GHz = 4.4%
Pentium 4 1800 NW @ 2520MHz = 40%
Pentium 4 2000 NW @ 2667MHz = 33.3%
Pentium 4 2400C @ 3120MHz = 30%

Intel 12 CPUs = 40.51% average overclock
AMD 6 CPUs = 12.78% average overclock

So, whats your CPU overclock history?

i overcloced a p1 133 by mistake once setting the jumpers wrong!

my first one i tried to do was the nice 550e. dont remember exactly how high i got it.

now im running a 3.0 and get it as high as 3.6

[CraigRT]

lets see, here are some of the one's i've owned:

P200 @ 250
P2 233 @ 350
300A @ 450
P2 400 @ 520? (can't quite remember)
K6-2 450 @ 500
C500 @ 562
P3 700E @ 980
T-Bird 1.33 @ 1.5
XP1800+ (Palomino) @ 2000+
P4 2.4B @ 3.1GHz (max OC)

and now my XP2500+ still running stock for the time being... will post up later on this matter!

 

[dannybin1742]

p II 233 @ 300
thunderbird 900 @ 1000
axp 1600+ @ 1833
axp 2100+ @ 2000 (default Vcore)
barton 2500+ @ 2000 maybe higher on default voltage (still working on it)

 

[pelleplu]

P166 @ 180
PII450 @ 500

I would love to o/c this 900MHz celeron but unfortunately it can't be overclocked =/ (as far as I know)

 

[TerryMathews]

P200 to 233
Celeron 400 to 470
Athlon 500 to 700
PPro Overdrive to 350
P3 600 to 800
Duron 750 to 1GHz
AXP1700 to 1900
2x AXP 2100 to 2266

 

[Duvie]

Amd tbird 750 to 845 = 13%
Amd tbird 1100 to 1200 = 10%
Amd tbird 1400 to 1575 = 13%

P4 1.8a@2.4 (1.65v) = 33%
P4 1.6a@2.74 (1.71v) = 71%
P4 1.8a@2.61 (1.68v) = 45%
P4 2.4b@3.24 (1.6v) = 35%

All but one are still living today and believed to be running at same speed....

 

[nicowju]

486DX/33 to 50MHz
AMD K6-200@250 (wow that thing ran hot... until I stuck on a big fan)
Celeron 300A@504
Celeron 300A@558
Celeron 366@616
Pentium-III 600@~800
P3-700@1084
P3-700@1050
P3-700@1015
Celeron 700@826
Duron 600@900
TBird 1.2GHz@~1.5GHz
TBird 1.4GHz@1.684GHz
AthlonXP 1800+ (1.53GHz)@1.70GHz
AthlonXP 2000+ (1.67GHz)@1.775GHz
AthlonXP 1700+ (1.47GHz)@1.6GHz (non Tbred-B)
AthlonXP 1700+ (1.47GHz) TBred-B@2.34GHz@1.55V (haven't pushed up voltage more yet; don't think I will)


EDIT: Oh, also a TI-83 overvolted; ran a random number generator thing on it... and it was faster than a stock TI-83. Quite possibly the most useless overclock ever

 

[xSauronx]

p2 300 @ 333
xp 1600+ (agoia) 1.4ghz @ 1.8ghz
current 1700+ 1.47ghz @ 2.07 ghz

this tbred is great

 

[zodder]

Wow. There's been quite a few, but here are highlights:

2 x Celeron 300A to 450 (BP6)
2 x Celeron 366 to 550 (BP6)
Celeron 400 to 500
Pentium III 500 (Katmai) to 630
Pentium III 600E to 750
Pentium III 700E to 1.0
Athlon TBird 1.3GHz to 1.50GHz
Athlon TBird 1GHz to 1.33GHz
Athlon XP 1600+ to XP 2100+
Athlon XP 2100+ to XP 2700+

I know I've forgotten some, but that's not too bad a list.

 

[Mingon]

How about a p4 1.4m @ 2.6ghz for 85% overclock - got an abit 875 board coming it might go higher, anyone beat that?

others include (only high ones too many to mention)

550E @ 825 50%
650e @ 910 50%
1.8a @ 2.90 61%
1.4 @ 1.86 33%
1.0a @ 1.45 45%
1.1a @ 1.466 33%

 

[pspada]

My list would be way to long to post - I've owned hundreds of computers.

But here's my first overclock: I replaced the clock chip which ran at 4.7Mhz, and I replaced the 8086 chip with a 8088-2, and turbo'ed my first IBM PC clone (Not PC-XT!) to 8Mhz, in the early 80's!

One other system of note: an AMD 486-100 running at 133Mhz. I mention this one because I am still using it! It's a packet filtering router with just a floppy and a couple of 100-Base-T cards in it.

 

[aggressor]

Celeron 300A@450
Celeron 366A@550
P3 Coppermine 700E@933
Athlon XP1900+ to 1901+
Next: Either a Barton 2500+ @ around 2.2ghz or a P4 2.4c @ 3.0ghz

 

[eGAK]

Intel 8088 @ 7.16 MHz on a Tandy 1000 SX, pressed the turbo mode button!!!
Ran my Swan 286 stock clock 12 MHz.
P233MMX @ 266 MHz, dip switch on an Amptron board.
XP1600 @ 1750

Rest are in the siggy

 

[ScrewFace]

1998-Pentium 166 MMX to 200MHz (Shuttle Spacewalker)
1998-Pentium 200 MMX to 225MHz (Shuttle Spacewalker)
1999-300A Celeron to 450MHz (Abit-BH6 v1.0)
2000-566 Coppermine to 876MHz (Abit-BH6 v1.0)
2002-1.2GHz Tualatin Celeron to 1.5GHz (Abit-ST6RAID)
2003-1.4GHz Tualatin Celeron to 1.7GHz (Abit-ST6RAID)
2003-Athlon XP 2400+ at 2.6GHz (Abit-NF7-S v1.2)

 

[Jeff7181]

K6-2 333 to 375 = 12.5%
Duron 700 to 750 = 7%
Athlon 1.2 (socket A) to 1.25 = 4%
XP1700 Palomino to 1533 = 4.5%
XP1700 T-Bred A to 1733 = 18%
XP2500 to 2222 = 21%

*EDIT forgot one

Pentium 233 to 266 = 14%

 

[Tummy]

Heh. Ahhh... the good 'ol days of changing timing crystals on like.. 8088's and 286's and 386's. haha... funny. i remember I even used a stack of pennies as a heat sink for my 386sx-16@25!

I still have my 386SX 16 Mhz... still works too... I should put a hard drive back in it and fire it up and laugh at how slow it is.

 

[thermite88]

The first and best overclock processor was:

486SX-25 25MHz oc to 50MHz, 100%.

I did not get anything close in performance until the P4 Northwood:

P4 1.6A 1.6GHz oc to 2.72GHz, 70%.

In between, most Intel CPU can manage 30-50%. I had only one AMD, K6-200 and it hardly oc at all.
