Wow I've been Overclocking for a Long Time

[Arcanedeath]

Thread in Video got me thinking on how long I've been overclocking lol sad I actualy remember all this stuff How bout you guys?

P100@120 FIC TX based motherboard w/ Diamond Stealth based on CL 964, 2mb + an Orchid 3d Vodoo 1 4mb
P150@166 FIC 503+ w/ Matrox G200 + Voodoo 2 12mb later added 2nd Voodoo 2
Cellery 333A @ 550 Abit BH6 w/ Diamond Viper 550 TNT 1 + carried over the voodoo 2's for glide games was laster Upgraded to a Diamond Viper 770 TNT2 Ultra
P3 550E @ 733 Asus Cusl2 w/ a Creative Geforce 1, replaced w/ a Geforce 2 GTS 64mb
Athlon Tbird 1.33Ghz @ 1.4Ghz ECS K7S5A Breifly still the GTS then Visiontek Geforce 3
Athlon XP 1600+ @ 1.8Ghz ECS K7S5A PNY Geforce TI4400
Athlon XP 2500+ @ 2.2Ghz Asus A7N8X Deluxe 2.0 BBA Ati 9800Pro 256mb
Athlon 64 3200+ @ 2.4Ghz DFI NF4 SLI-DR Rosewill X800XL
Athlon 64 X2 4400+ @ 2.8Ghz DFI NF4 SLI-DR PowerColor X1900XT
Xeon 3060 @ 3.2Ghz Asus P5K Deluxe EVGA 8800GTS 640mb
Currently E8400 @ 4.05Ghz Asus Maxmius Formula BFG 8800GT OC

Edit come to think of it I skiped one
the Cusl2 was actualy w/ a P3 733 @ 825 the 550E was in a Tyan S1854 / trinity 400 board I think I wanted to forget that one as I had that motherboard die 4 times but the chip and the Iwill slocket Skt 370 to slot1 adaptor still work fine lol.

Lotsa old school stuff In this thread brings back some good memories I just remember how happy I was w/ how few jumpers the BH6 had compared to my old FIC boards. the orginal Softmenu FTW

i used to have an e4300 @ 3.3ghz thats like ~80% or more!

 

[F1shF4t]

Not even close to how many yous did, but heres my short list.

Pentium 4 2.8c to 3.35ghz (first real comp I bought)
Athlon 64 3200+ 2.0ghz to 2.5ghz
Athlon X2 3800+ 2.0ghz to 2.7ghz
Q6600 2.4ghz to 3.2ghz

 

[larciel]

Mostly Tbird.

Celeron 300@450 in Dual mode. Abit board
Tbird 650 at 1000
Tbird AXIA,AXIAR 1ghz at 1.4ghz
Barton 2500@3200Mhz (this was too easy)
Sempron 3100 @ 2.3ghz
C2D e6300 at 3.2ghz
C2D E8400 @ 4.05Ghz

 

[OS]

i have a 40 mhz 486 that i swapped the clock oscillator to 50 mhz

 

[foolish501]

ahhh i remember the Celeron 300a, my first taste of overclocking. When i ran it at 450mhz, all my friends bought the same chip.

 

[MikeyLSU]

havn't done much OC, but here are mine

Athlon 2500+ 1.8 @ 2.2
Core 2 E4300 1.8 @ 2.8 max stable, but have it back down to 2.4 (still using)

thinking of upgrading to the E8400 but we will see

 

[Riverhound777]

Hmm I really haven't OC much. The first time I did was with a Tbird 1.3 @1.5. That was the first computer I ever built. I hardly ever ran it at that speed either, only to show off to friends at LAN parties... hey I was young

The next one after that is my E8400 at 4050Mhz which I'm thinking of setting back to stock until I find out more about the temperature issues others and myself are having.

 

[DAPUNISHER]

The joy of overclocking. :beer: Getting a good overclocking CPU, was reminiscent of the feeling I got as a kid, when I'd put my quarter in the toy machine, and got the prize in the display area I most wanted. You didn't think you would get it, but you sure were hoping.

 

[aldamon]

I tried to overclock my Packard Bell Pentium 60 to 66 Mhz with the FSB jumper but it locked up.

 

[ionoxx]

My list is not very long either:

AMD Athlon XP 1800+ 1.53GHz to 1.67GHz = 8.75%
AMD Athlon 64 3700+ 2.2GHz to 2.75GHz = 25.00% (This with an overclocked Radeon 9800 Pro... it ruled all!)
AMD Opteron 165 1.8GHz to 2.25GHz = 25.00%
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600.... working on it.

Having BIOS issues with my new build. I have to flash to an older BIOS. We'll see what i get out of it, but I only plan on going to 3.0GHz or 3.2GHz.

 

[SlowSpyder]

Not as impressive as most of you, but here's my short list:

Duron 700mhz @ 805mhz. Radeon 7200 32MB DDR. My buddy had a Geforce 2 GTS w/64MB, his rig scored over 7k in 3DMark01, mine only got about 4k. But, HalfLife 1 and TFC played just as well on my system @ 1024x768.

Duron 1.6 @ 2.0ghz. Geforce Ti4200 64MB.

Athlon 2500+ mobile, I used it mostly stock but it would boot and run for a while at 2.4ghz. I could never get it stable though, so I ran it at the stock 1.833ghz most of the time. I used the Ti4200 and later got a GeForce 6800nu that I was able to run 16/6 @ 380mhz. That was a great card back then.

Ahtlon 64 3000+ that I ran at 2.556ghz. That was my favorite processor, it was cheap at the time and ran solid as a rock at 2.5+ghz. I later upgraded to my current Opteron 165, for a while I ran it at 2.7ghz, but stability has degraded over time, now I'm stuck at only 1.8ghz. I ran a 7900GS @ 500mhz/1.32ghz for a while, now my current Radeon 2900Pro @ 800mhz/1600 (512bit). This has been my best video card purchase ever, runs everything at my native 1680x1050, and I have a nice 33% oc on the core. I haven't touched the memory on it yet.

 

[batmang]

I definitely remember the Celeron days.

Celeron 366MHz @ 550MHz
Celeron 566MHz @ 850MHz (I eventually got this passed 900MHz, woooo!)
Thunderbird 1.0GHz @ 1.4GHz
P4 2.4C @ 3.2GHz
Athlon 64 3000+ (2.0GHz) @ 2.5GHz (pic)
Semprom 64 2800+ (1.6GHz) @ 2.5GHz (pic)
Pentium D 925 3.0GHz @ 3.6GHz (pic)

Thats all I can remember. I will be ordering my E8400 rig soon so that should be another overclocking beast.

 

[Lorne]

How about those days with a variable occilator hooked to Commadore 64/128, Amiga500 and 2000, After that it was changing the crystal in 386 and 486, The real fun didnt start till Vesa bus shown its face.
486DX50 oc'd to 60 along with the vesa, First time Ive used and known anyone to use a HSF, Smoked alot of gfx and HD controllers with that system, But dam it was fast, Dominated the P60 when it came out.

So many more that I cant even remember them all.
How about a P200mmx running 100mhz fsb it ran stable, Built it with a leftovers after I was already AMD 400 k6.

 

[venusiansky]

My first was P100 to 120Mhz and it ran successfully. I got a Cyrix PR166 after that, but I don't think I OC'ed it. P166 following the Cyrix and I think I was able to take it to 200Mhz or >, but it was not stable. Bought a K6-2 after that but never OC'ed again.

When I get my new system built, I may try OCing again. Seems like CPU's are more flexible to overclocking these days.

 

[imported_wired247]

I remember those piggyback chips that you had to slap on top of the CPU... now those were interesting times

 

[tracerbullet]

Funny thread, a little old to bump perhaps, but it brings back memories.

My first was an AMD K62-350 on an FIC board, fiddling with the jumpers on the board to ID the chip and overvolt it to 400. Got it to work, felt like a king.

Yeah, that was a while ago.
