If anyone is up for this, the rules are as follows:
There will be 3 classes for overclocking: Vcore-.1v vcore and vcore +.1v
Processor can be any make ie intel, ibm, amd,And any other processor as long as it stays below vcore +10%
Cooling Must be air or water (sorry phase guys)
Maximum clockspeed will be taken and recorded via either cpu validated file or image shack hosted screenshot.
Testing to include 1 rount occt, s&m and super pi 32 mil
The lowest vcore/ highest overclock wins!
Any flaming, please pm me.
Users are to post the setup they have, with the respective O/c data. Example:
Type of Cpu: Winchester core socket 939 Athlon 3000+
Clockspeed Of CPu: 222x9=2ghz~@ 1.07 v
Cooling setup:Zalman 7000alcu and an antec p180/ tim info
May the best proc win!
LEt the games begin!

Is this only for AMD? (If not, how do we determine highest overclock, by % or mhz, or top speed?)

% of overclock it is. Does anyone else want to join in on either the solidifying of the contest or the rules? Thanks for the suggestions!

I'm open to suggestions, perhaps There could be an intel and amd section then? I suppose I''ll have to bar 65nm intel chips and those using the ultra low voltage markings. anyone else have any comments, cause, at 2.2ghz at 1.15 vcore, the winchester is looking pretty promising.

It should be at stock voltages not 1.2 there's no reason to make such a silly rule if not to favour the intel by undervolting the AMD.

Countered by the requirement to stay below 40*C which rules out pretty much every single Intel ever made.

That would actually be better..

Set the goal for AMD @ maybe 1.15-1.2v and then intel @ 1.1v or so volts..

I am going for 2 ghz @ 1.15

All right! we've a dualy in the race! Take a look at the revised rules, unless that's a bit too lenient. I might have to add it for those specific vcore.

"The lowest vcore/ highest overclock wins! "

Explain further

2100mhz @ 1.2v vs. 2400mhz @ 1.25v vs. 2800mhz @ 1.45v which wins?

Or is there a formula like mhz/volts which for the above example would be

2100/1.2=1750, 2400/1.25=1920, 2800/1.45=1931

Info in sig.... My mobo has a V-droop issue that requires the VCore to be @ 1.42v to maintain 1.36-1.375v under 100% load. Watercooling consists of:

Swiftech APOGEE waterblock
Swiftech Bay Res /MCP-350 pump
Swiftech RadBox external radiator mount
Heater core radiator
120MM Vantec Stealth fan with shroud

Yeah because my 930 at 3.75 on stock intel cooler and stock voltage idles at 28 C.
