Official Seven Forums Overclock Leader boards [2]

[kbrady1979]

I was stuck at 4.9xxGHz for a few months before I finally got above 5.0GHz........but I finally did it. I was only using the BIOS and I was happy that I broke 5GHz so that's where I stopped.

Ralph you might try raising the FSB and lowering the RAM frequency some. If possible try getting the QPI link closer to 2000.

Almost there guys!
CPU-Z Validator 4.0

So close yet so far lol.

Updated oh cranky one

 

[crankypenguin]

Ok my motherboard simply wont allow any higher than this. Theoretically this should be a 5 as I set the bus to 200 and multi 20 25x but what can you do? CPU-Z Validator 4.0 Of course I know what you're going to say, move the bus to 201 and you will get 5020, but it wasn't having it, would not boot no matter what. I had the cpu voltage on [+.300] I don't 2 places higher and the numbers turn red I am officially done OCing this chip and this mobo, so you can put this in Paul without worries of me coming back with a higher score. I plan to upgrade my rig in the upcoming months....Christmas...I am an Aquarius so I will save up the money to do it. I am very happy that I was able to push this mobo and cpu this far.

Try validating again, it will fluctuate a little on each validation, you might hit 5000 after a couple.

Holy sheep sh*t you did it! How come it jumped so much? Well done Ralph

 

[paulpicks21]

Congratulations Ralph (if your PC is still alive lol) and welcome to the top 10!

A few weeks ago I read this article and in it, the guy had the same mobo as me and he said to raise the CPU PLL to stabilize. That option is mostly useless for most mobos from what I hear, but on this one, I raised it this last go and ...well It worked.

Excellent, well you certainly worked for the 5GHz plus mate and you suddenly went 100MHz higher so fair play. You can sleep happy tonight lol.

Shouldn't this thread be in the benchmarks sub forum?

No, it's not a benchmark.

Nope, this is for Custom builds and Overclocking.

 

[A Guy]

Wow, 12 maniacs people above 5GHz! Well done CrankyP, and all the others

Welcome to the Zoo Green Zone. Very well done, Cranky. Don't worry about Bill, he's just jealous that he has a little common sense left. We've lost all ours. So, you are no longer Crankypenguin, you are now and forevermore to be known as Crazypenguin. You've earned it. Wear it proudly. Congrats on the overclock. You sure worked for it. You've come a long way in a short time.

 

[Dude]

Great job Crazypenquin

 

[Computer0304]

Does anyone think I should dare to overclock my 6 year old Core 2 Quad with stock cooler?

 

[essenbe]

I seriously doubt it. But, I usually throw the stock cooler in the garbage. I have used a couple for bench testing just to make sure the computer would run. But, I would never overclock anything with one. I know there are people who disagree, but not very many. Only 1 I know of. But, I won't mention Dude by name.
