What was your first overclock?

[Tominator]

AHH! Heaven! A Post I'm a 'Newbie' on!

K6-2 300@350


Yes! I'm young again....

 

[Zoltarc]

My toaster.

I found a knob on the side which read from 1-6. S0 I moved it up one.
MY GOD it worked! My toast now cooks twice as fast. I'm gonna try the big 6 tonight but I think the heat is killing my toast

Cyrix 6x86 133 -> 150 (ouch.. talk about heat)
Celeron 300A -> 450 (the good ol' days of overclocking)

Hmmm first overclock ? 1991 or so. 286-4.77 mhz @12mhz. Made a small calculation mistake while replacing one off the crystalocilators (they added 2 of them or something alike) Never the less the machine worked like a sharme except for norton utilities backup which refused to backup with a msg like: The speed of this machine has found to be unusually fast .....

Owh and before that (1988/89 ?!?) I overclocked my Amiga500-7.14mhz -> 10mhz

 

[Rankor]

i486SX-25 -> 33: 1992
i486DX2-66 -> 75: 1994
i486DX4-100 -> 120: 1995
Amd 5x86 133 -> 160: 1995
iP55C 200 -> 233: 1997
Amd K6-2 300 -> 350: 1998
iCeleron 300A -> 504: 1999
iCeleron 466 -> 525: 1999
iCeleron 566 -> 952: 2000

First overclock was a Gateway 2000 pentium 60 to 66mmhz!
(anyone remember those old socket 4's?)

 

[PliotronX]

Zoltarc, try applying some Arctic Silver to the inside of the toaster, behind the wires, and get an Alpha TOST-R7 heatsink. That should let you make it up to 6, evenly toasting a loaf of bread in under 20 seconds.

 

[sandorski]

Cyrix PR120+ to PR150+

 

[Coki]

Intel Celeron 266 -> 400Mhz at 2.2 volts.
PII 300 -> 450mhz default voltage. -> 504 at 2.2 volts
PIII 700 -> 933 a little more than default voltage. 980 at more voltage.

 

[hans007]

when i was 8 me and my dad put a 387dx 25 in a 386dx33 and the 387 ran at 33. I guess that was my first

 

[cptnwinky]

why(and how?)? would you overclock your monitor? what does that do other than burn out the tubes?

 

[hans007]

on a monitor you can overclock the refresh rate, i think it overclocks the dot clock or something. Some monitors it works, some monitors are protected to not go over a certain rate. Overall i think this is very dumb.

 

[Zoltarc]

hehehe

 

[Psylent]

P200@233

[cgclausen]

Well this doesn't say anything about sucesfull overclocks so here goes. pentium 75 to 100mhz. Fried the thing good. doesn't work on either of my old systems.

 

[alpha7x]

Cache-less celeron 266 @ 400. Worked great.
