Do you leave you CPU overclocked all the time??

Hi Guys.


Just acouple of general questions.

Do you leave you CPU overclocked all the time??

How long have you had it stable at max overclock???

 

[Hanzou]

Have had my 2500+ running at 3200+ speeds for over a year.

same, cept 6 months, and i have SETI constantly crunching numbers on it. speaking of that, i probably need to rejoin TA, my seti team is so lose right now.

1700@"2700" speeds.

- M4H

Yes

Since I built the system over a year ago. If it's not stable then the overclock doesn't mean squat, in my opinion.

Cool..I have mine @ 3.71 at the moment..I am thinking about leaving it like that until it dies or my next upgrade...

Kind of an expensive processor to have that mindset with. Of course, the EE is rediculously overpriced already. Go with AMD next time

Yeah, i am thinking of the A64 4000+ or the FX-55??

I can get mine stable at 2.5GHz.

But I run it at 2.4GHz because at 2.5GHz my 3200+ gets a little hot during load.

 

[Elcs]

My 2500+ is at 2.2 ghz. Runs warm at that temp under load so Im not going to push it.

It has to last ~2 years so I cant afford to pump too much voltage or information through it.

 

[Aleksandar]

Yes i dont feel sorry 4 it p4 2.6 on 3300 1.6 volts the only reason i dont give it 1.7v is that it geats little hotter and freezes sometimes

 

[Acanthus]

2.6C @ 3.46ghz all the time, i think its on month 8.

 

[Manzelle]

Leave my XP-M 2600+ @ 2.6GHz all the time...no problems thus far...

 

[imported_Phil]

XP2600+ (Barton) @ 3000+ speeds. The only reason I don't push it higher (I have had 2.3Ghz out of it, on air) is that my RAM won't run any higher. Stupid Leadtek board won't let me dial in PC2700 speeds; noooo, it allows percentages of the FSB speed, and the first one down from 100% is 84%. Sigh.

 

[madogvt]

I've run my XP2100 (T'bred) at 2Ghz for a year and a half but have had it stable as high as 2125Ghz and ran it that way for a while. I was running hot and I decided that 2Ghz was enough....then. : )

what cooling do you people have to be able to overclock it so much?

Akasa AK824cu. Search for HS-004-AK in that page.

 

[Stern]

I have AMD Athlon 3200+ running at normal speed, and about 45-50 degrees, depending on load.
I'm using Arctic Silver 5 thermal paste http://www.arcticsilver.com/as5.htm and Cooler Master Jet 7 cooler http://www.coolermaster.com/index.p...oduct_class_include&files=cpu_cooler.html

Would I be able to overclock this much? What is the maximum safe temp for 3200+?

 

[biostud]

yes 2100+@2700+

[high]

my mobile has been at 2.6 w/1.9 vcore with air cooling since February...haven't actually rebooted in 4 or 5 months

 

[PhoenixOrion]

Celeron 433 @ 488 for 8 years.

Northwood 2.8 @ 3.5 for 4 months.

Clawhammer 2.4 @ 2.6 for 3 months.

 

[SneakyStuff]

Barton 2800+ @ 2.25 GHz (Which I assume is a little over 3200+) For 3 months. And yes, I leave it like that because the temps are good, and the system is stable. Once I move to an Athlon 64 I prolly won't overclock it, and I will drop the overclock on my Barton. No sense in lessening its longevity if i'm not using it

 

[0roo0roo]

2400barton at 2.2ghz. too much trouble to underclock. not sure how good its to run it at lower clock without changing voltage anyways.

 

[imported_whatever]

barton-m 2500+ @2.6 is max. but it takes a vcore of 2.0, so i need to use a tornado to keep it cool
when not gaming, i run it at 1.3GHz/1.1vcore, so it puts out very little heat and should extend the life as well.
