Patting me on the back... I just OC'd my first processor!

[DanC]

Got a used K6-2/450 for my pproxy machine. DOA - but in the process actually learned something new. No hope for the 450 - but was able to overclock my 300 to 350.

Sure it ain't much to most, but I've discovered OC! :Q

[edit] - and Russ didn't even have to help me with it....

 

[Kilowatt]

It's a start in the right direction.

 

[GT1999]

Nice. Now you need some Duron 600/700s and get 'em @ a Gig. That's my next OC most likely..

 

[Sukhoi]

Very nice Dan!

 

[SSP]

A newbie to Overclocking heh... Congrats Dan. Now get a Duron 600 and overclock it to a Gig.

 

[DanC]

I actually have 2 Duron 600's they do 900 and 950 respectively. Awaiting the arrival of some Asus A7V's.

 

[BoberFett]

Woohoo! He popped his cherry!

 

[Jator]

For those of you thinking of dumping your old BH6, think again. I have put in a Cel 600 that runs at 900 with a sloket. Not bad for a 2 year old mobo!!!

Hey Jator, the stats are not being updated for some reason.

 

[TwoFace]

OMG, I just had a vision...

<< I see, I see.... wait... I see it clearly now... it's Dan! and he's OC'ing entire crackracks! He's bringing the TeAm's output to whole new levels just by simple flicks of his wrist! >>

Nice going Dan! Hope you're REAL hooked now, and bring us to another level

Keep 'em comin'

With love and respect your fellow TA member

[DanC]

HEY MAN... I learned to deal with LINUX for this!!!! :Q

You betcha I'm hooked. I'm going to spend all my money on power and processors and Air conditioning. My wife doesn't even mind :Q

 

[DanC]

Cool... the OC got us almost an extra 100 Kkeys/sec.

Still hopin' for that OC'd crack-rack

[DanC]

Rest assured... the Grover Gray rack is taking form

 

[JimMc]

You have taken the first step on the road to perdition. Enjoy the trip, and you might as well start hunting around for a good deal on Arctic Silver. O'Cing can be as addictive as crackin.

 

[BurntKooshie]

Just don't OC the > BIG < assimilation :Q

 

[DanStp]

WOW......next thing you know Dan C will be getting the big wheels at Compac to start making industry standard gear

 

[Kahnza]

Yay! I'm also new to OC'ing. I overclocked my first Tbird700 to 900 at default voltage. The CPU temp only went up 3-4c! I must say that doesn't seem bad for 200mhz. At full load it runs at 41-42c. I'm thinking on shooting for 1gig soon...

 

[cory]

jator: what slocket did you use?

i have o/c a bunch of processors and
the thing you really want to watch out for is heat.

if you really push it make sure you have a good heatsink
and good thermal grease.

 

[cory]

stay away from anything really extreme.

like water cooling and peltier units.

esp if you are going to run the computer when you are not around.

you can literally toast your mb, processor and
other stuff with that.

 

[Bakwetu]

Congrats Khanza
If it oc to 900 at default voltage, you can probably get it over 1 gig with a modest voltage bump

 

[Mad Pierre]

Well done DanC . The first one allways the BEST

 

[Adul]

Cory, thermal grease is NOT recomended by AMD. They prefer themal compound. But we get your point

 

[cory]

i actually use a grease that is made of silver.
i just call everthing grease.

it does make a difference over normal heatsink grease
and a hell of a lot vs pads.

( i have 2 versions of this, one for cpus like the old
celerons and one for the newer pent 3's and athlons that
have a smaller contact patch)

i have gotten a bunch of heatsinks from 3dfxcool and
i dont even use the stuff that comes with their
$50 alpha collers
(the ones with the copper slug are a little better but
i got a lot more of the $35 ones without the copper and
they work well enuff)

First Dan started to read the Gathering of Tweakers and suddenly he has overclocked a computer. This can't be coincidence.
Join the DPC Dan you have it all in you!
- Big score
- winners mentality
- you tweak(ers)
- Do everything to have a higher score
- Know a little dutch too (not a demand but it can be easy )
- you have to letters already in your name DanC

(hehehe)
