Top 10 overclocking processors of all time?

[Kroze]

could someone add to this list? I've looke everywhere and couldn't find any site that have anything similar.... noted that my list is not in any particular order.

i only know...3?


1. Intel Celeron 300A - 300mhz easily upped to 450mhz.
2. AMD 2500+ barton core - dunno.
3. AMD 3000+ Venice core - shrugs.

dude more replies if you had it in the cpu forum...

BTw this has been posted before in the cpu section..
may want to do a quick search for info...

 

[Shenkoa]

Yep, wrong section.

If the mods move it, dont forget to add the P4 2.4C to that list. The 2A was also a good overclocker.

6. Athlon 2500+ (good, but % wise not up to 1700+)
5. Athlon 64 3000+ venus
4. Pentium 4 1.6B
3. Opteron 146 CABYE
2. Pentium 4 2.4C
2. Athlon 1700+ T bred B 1.5V (up to 2.5-2.6ghz... but only 1.47 stock...crazy)
1. Celeron 300A (classic and frequent 50% and up OC's)

Oh, and the centrinos would make it big here as well. but not that widely adopted

 

[Doctorweir]

And the Celeron 300A successor, the 566...making 850 easily...and his successor, the 1200 Tualatin, making 1600 easily (mine actually made 1780 :Q )

Running one of those right now.

(Mine's "only" at 2.4GHz, but that's still one hell of an overclock for a chip with a 1.46GHz stock speed )

 

[Greenman]

The 8 mhz intel 8086 would do 12 mhz, 50% overclock.

 

[ponch007]

Cel 366 -- oh the days of the Abit BP-6

 

[Deleted member 4644]

The days of 440BX mobos were the glory days as far as I am concerned

 

[colonel]

Athlon Barton 2500+, Athlon 1.2, Duron 1.4

 

[JEDIYoda]

[openwheelformula1]

I loved my Intel Celeron 566hmz. I went up to 850mhz w/o a sweat by simply raising fsb 66 to 100. I was able to push it near 1ghz.

 

[jlbenedict]

Celeron 366 running at 550 was an almost given.. If you ended up with a "stud" chip, you could push it over 600

 

[AznAnarchy99]

gota put the x2 3800+ on it.. 2 cores overclocked at an almost guaranteed 500 mhz.
