Poll: What chip is the overclocking king right now?

[nippyjun]

The first was the 300a, then the 533/566, now what?

 

[bonkers325]

dood i anwsered your question now go read it
go intel

 

[DeViSoR]

I must say Duron, performance and price is great with this chip. And it is easy to overclock.

 

[Dan]

I'd say it's AMD's Duron. Inexpensive, easily overclocked and impressive gains. My personal experience:

D600 --> 900MHz
D700 --> 1083MHz

 

[Hala]

I say Duron, but yesterday i saw Tunderbird posting at 1425MHz.

 

[Renob]

Me and all my friends are getting at least a gig out of the t-bird 750

 

[slax]

i must say the celeron!
i see more celerons hit 1.5 times their clockspeed then i see durons do the same..

so the celeron overclocks the best in my opinion.....
the thing is.... a cheaper duron... say 700@850 will mostly out-perform a celeron 633@950..
so.... the celeron is the best overclocker..... but the duron will be faster..

 

[Dan]

Especially since the Celeron is held back by the 66MHz bus!

 

[Mustanggt]

The Duron no doubt Got my 600@1023 and please dont even metion the celeron in this thread Its day is long gone LOL

 

[Dan]

Mustanggt: A D600 at 1023? Very impressive.

 

[Mem]

Yes,DURON,DURON for all you unbiased AMD,INTEL fans out there,it`s the best value for money in overclocking.

 

[BW]

Ive read on Amd zone that alot of peaple are getting the 600 durons up past a gig and even 1100 mhz. Stay away from the lowly celerons.Ans they really dont overclock as well as the durons iether.

 

[Mustanggt]

My Duron 600@1023 is at 1.7 vcore I havent tried it higher yet but would bet it will go higher.

 

[jaydee]

If you are only getting 850 out of 700 Duron, you got serious problems.

<< Especially since the Celeron is held back by the 66MHz bus! >>

That's the point, you get a Celeron 600 up the FSB to 100 you get a Celeron 900.

Personally I think the Duron is the best overclocker, the Celeron can overclock about as well, but the Celeron's performance bites, sorry to say.

 

[fs5]

read the sig, easiest o/c I ever did. I haven't even touched the FSB but I'm willing to bet it'll go higher. I don't want to push my luck though, all I wanted was to hit 1 Ghz and I'm satisfied. Maybe after the o/c demon gets me again I'll pump up the FSB

 

[heng1028]

i couldn't wait my duron 800 and MSI Pro2A on their way to my hand.

i would like how it out perform the celeron i am using right now

what is the highest mhz can a Duron 800 go??

i am thinking of shooting it at 1.2gig
is that possible???

i heard that duron 800 is harder to overclock??
is that real??

 

[Moonbender]

The chance that a Duron 800 will reach 1.2 GHZ is quite small ... the faster Durons don't overclock much better than the slower ones, ie both a Duron 600 and a Duron 800 have great chances to reach 950 Mhz and good chances to go a bit higher.

As for the best overclocking chip, I also vote for Duron. Don't forget that with the upcoming chipsets you can run Durons at 133 Mhz FSB!

 

[heng1028]

among the durons, which is the most overclockable??

in terms of mhz they gain and the price.

 

[Zedfu]

i'll have to say Duron600. it's dirt cheap and and will overclock to near 1ghz if lucky. if not then to around 900 in most case.

 

[heng1028]

a duron before week 32 and after week 32, do they have big differences??
