how about those 1.8As that got 3400+mhz?
Huh!!! I didn't hear about those...water cooled???

I think it's not just a case of how far a CPU will overclock but also the ease with which you can overclock it.
A more interesting way of looking at it would be which CPU overclocked the most (% wise) out of the box with stock cooling and no voltage tweaks, just upping the FSB. Hence great for the beginner, which we all were at some point.

Yes, i do remember a few... They were few and far between though.

well p4 1.4m at 2.9ghz is 1.5ghz / 115% so I still reckon thats the winner, and the fact it cost me just $32 is an added bonus

i dunno if overclockability should be measured by percent or by how much of an overclock you can get...
example...
1700+ stock is 1.47 and overclocks easily to 2.4 ghz which is almost a 1 ghz overclock or 1 ghz / 1.47 ghz = ~70% overclock
2.4C stock is 2400 and overclocks easily to 3.5 ghz which is a 1.1 ghz overclock or 1.1 ghz / 2.4 ghz = ~46% overclock
in pure speed, the 2.4 overclocks higher but percentage the 1700+ wins....
i think you need to state a standard... either pure speed or percent...

You so completely left out the P4 1.6A, those very regularly hit 2.4, on stock cooling, and many made it up to even 2.8+ IIRC.

As someone else mentioned.....how could you leave off the 300 Celeron?

One of my old machines has a Celeron 300 - could I pump it up a little? Whats the best way to improve this crusty relic?

Yeah,
I can't believe the Celey 300A was left off. The standard OC for that chip was 450 mhz... that is a 50% OC, and beat's most if not all the others listed, which are closer in range to 25 - 40% OCs

what kind of cooling are you using?
see sig, koolance case.
ok i checked your sig...got enough case fans? that thing must sound like a 747, even w/ liquid cooling. nice case though. the rig looks awesome!
