wow. its been awhile almostthere.. welcome back

hahahaha don't laaa...just that I've shifted towards efficiency in design. Actually don't OC that much anymore after since realizing that kepping proc within stock design parameter's (upto 1333Mhz bus speed) and maximizing bandwidth at a set memory clockspeed yielded more tangible gains for day to day use (i.e faster boot times, smoother HD playback processing, and more)

i agree on that, i am doing the same at the moment, though the itchy hands do take over sometimes.... to push it to the max and get corrupted os in the process

lol that was a long time ago for me.....like AthlonXP long time ago when clock speed was the only way to increase performance, but now with less clockspeed hungry proc designs, becoming less of a factor. Maybe just for that bling factor, yeah it never hurts. Sigh still remember when my 9600XT made a nuisance out of 9800 users

yeah ur an old fart... hahahahaha. Hmm so really theres nothing u have missed here. except for new gadgets thats all.

I made a topic http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=768047
The guy asked em to post here. Sorry for the Double Post
Hi, i am looking for someone that could help me overclock my pc
My temperature of my pc for core 0: 55 Degree and core 1: 56 degree
I would like to ask on your opinion on how i can overclock my pc and lower down the temperature
You can give me details on what i need to do or you could come to my house
Pros who aree out there help me please
I bought my pc around 3 months ago at low yat around 2500
Whole CPU custom build which can do gaming+entertainment:lol:

Thanks

u will need a cpu cooler if u wana OC high....good ones shud be sunbeam conre contact freezer or ocz vendetta II or xigmatek s1283...those will give u big improvement over u temp compared to intel stock heatsink...

where do u live btw?

wuah 8 GB RAM. then vista nvr consume up to 15% of ur memory?

hey guys.. i wan to ask something..

u all said that oc will make the hardware lifespan bcome lesser.. so,i need to know.. how long? let say, a core 2 duo e6550 can last for 10 years.. will it decrease to 5 years? or?

sory for my nubness :-x

Most experts will say that the reduction in lifespan is not really significant as you'd probably change CPU before the lifespan is over....

In terms of years, a normal CPU can last for 10 years? 20 years? 30 years? I dont' think anybody can tell you the right answer as each individual CPU has a different lifespan....

Even the 3 year warranty period is not for certain, as certain CPU can rarely kaput before that period, even at stock clock...

technology would have flown so fast that e6550 will be like pentium 2 about 10 yrs ago . so lifespans are... not significant, as most of us would live out a processor after 2~3 yrs.

lol... a1098113... ur signature..


by the way.. i think b4 ur processor die, u changed another pc ady...
so long, i just died an E2180 oem from pinpinmiao coz unknown issue..

ohohoho.. so there's no problemo if we wan to keep our satisfied oc forever? forever here i mean is until i buy new pc..

anyway,thanks so much for u all feedback.. appreciate that!

Noob question: Can Laptop be overclocked?

found there are few can be overclock

Anyone got any tips/experience to OC this proc on EP43-DS3L?

Any help/thoughts/tips/experince sharing is highy appreciated.

I'd say just ramp up the FSB 10Mhz at a time, stop each time to run Intel Burn Test. If pass, ramp up next step. If fail, increase Vcore one step, retest. If still fail, ramp up Vtt or Vmch one step. Like that. Repeat until you hit either a. The speed you want, b. Temp limit, or c. Voltage limit.

Hi,

My Cpu-z shows my core speed is 2.3ghz where else my bios is showing it running at 2.66ghz.. I am running Vista 64bits. Is it cpu-z not compatible with vista 64bits?

Thanks

go to ur bios n set ur multiplier to 8..

then disable C1E and EIST or something like Intel Speed Step...

i am using 64bit too n there is no problem with the cpuz

which one is Vtt actually? all the name not always the same.im confuse lol

_______________

owh ok.it is termination voltage isnt it?
