UNDERCLOCKED!

[jonnyGURU]

And no... I'm not talking about the veteran Anandtech forums member, either.

I'm saying that ANYONE can OVERCLOCK a CPU!

But it takes a real man to UNDERCLOCK ONE!

Needless to say, benchmarks are off the charts.... to the left, though.

LOL, I know someone who did this so that they could turn off the CPU fan and make everything quieter

I've heard of people doing this for sh!ts & giggles. For example, take a non CTX K6-2 400, drop the FSB to 66 MHz, & drop the multiplier to 2.0.

Can we say K6-2 133?

LOL jonny, you really must have been bored

And now for the funny question of the day? How did it post?

 

[Sephiroth_IX]

PROPS JONNY!! 0mhz? Can you boot that thing into windows and run a cpuclk for me?

 

[FrogDog]

that's amazing! How does it even run?!

 

[Blayze]

yes I agree can you boot into windows? thats funny lol

My Unlocked P3-533B does 2x66 @ 133Mhz all day rock solid even under constant Prime95 torture.

[jonnyGURU]

Oh, it'll boot. But you want to talk about a HANG!!

It hits the desktop and just SITS THERE! But it WILL BOOT!

Yikes!

 

[Viper GTS]

Hey Windogg...

Any chance you'd be willing to sell that CPU? I would LOVE to have it for testing purposes...

.o(It was worth a shot!)

jonnyGURU,

You need to get out more.

 

[Underclocked]

What?

 

[Eli]

ROFL! That sucks it locks. It would be cool to be able to run WCPUID, and see the actual MHz. What's the next highest you can go after 0?

That's a pretty freaky picture, btw.. That reflection is eerie ..

 

[jonnyGURU]

There's a picture that I took with the lights out so there is no reflection, but it came out like crap: http://jonnyguru.com/underclock2.jpg

Actually, there are quite a few people the last time I checked that are running underclocked CPUs on their I-Openers.

 

[Gorgonzola]

a friend of mine had to underclock a cyrix processor just to get it stable, thats how dodgy cyrix is

 

[Mday]

lol

I finally found out what thread that was in the pic you posted of your job Jonny.


I didn't know it was possible for a processor running at 0 mhz to do anything, although I guess it's going a few hz faster then 0.
