Whats the furthest you've overclocked a cpu or gpu over its stock clock open thread

Whats the furthest you've overclocked a cpu or gpu in ghz or mhz any time period is fine

[JuztBe]

AMD 4800+ from 2.5 to 3.2.

[Oshino Shinobu]

Got my 3770K to 4.8GHz a while ago. It can go further, but I don't see the point right now. 

[yannickverc]

Tried to OC an amd 7870 BBE once, I burned it.

 

OC'd my cpu from 3.3 to 4.4 once. For some reason it wont be stabel on 4.4 anymore so it's at 4.2 now

[LemonSpice]

gtx 780 from 900mhz to 1,254mhz and 1,333 with voltage hack but it was making it too hot

[loccilucas]

I got my 3770k to 4.7Ghz but it was too hot for my liking, so I settled for 4.6

[LemonSpice]

my 4790k is t 4.6 but i got it to 4.9

[SkilledRebuilds]

2600K @ 4.9 pushing for 5.0 and had to jerryrig 3 fans in push push pull to do so

Would do 5.0 with HT off hands down easy, but hated 5.0 /w HT.

what do you mean by burned it do you mean bricked it or do you mean made it into a very expensive coaster

[EOD909]

My 4670k is at 4.5 on a 212 EVO.

what cooler were you using

[virtualTune]

My 4770K from 3.5GHz to 5.0GHz (43%)

[LemonSpice]

My 4770K from 3.5GHz to 5.0GHz (43%)

holy crap what were the temps and what cooler were you useing

[LemonSpice]

on of my friends got a 2600k at 5.1ghz on air

[OrangeFlavoured]

5450 from 400 to 900

[phillrulz]

i got my 3570k to 4.8ghz from 3.4 so 1.4ghz my gtx 650 i got from 1058 to 1200 and memory from 5ghz to 5.6 however i didnt touch any voltage so could have gone higher.

[GloriousPain]

Got an 8320 from 3.5(4 Turbo) Ghz to 4.9 on all 8 cores not too long after release  and was also able to once get an GTX 750Ti FTW up around from 1.19Ghz to around 1.3Ghz without any bios hacking to remove safety features

[SkilledRebuilds]

what cooler were you using

Hyper212 (The original from 4-5 years ago) with gaps around the contacting heatpipes, not the 212+, not the recent ones.. It's an oldie.

Push Pull, with another High CFM Fan Pushing from the front panel 5.25 bay area, cos it's wasted space as I don't use DVD drives internally.

Worked a treat, 4.9 Without the 3rd fan @ 81*c across all cores with random spikes to 85*c and back down. and then the 3rd Fan brought it down to 78-80*c with spikes to 81-83*c. <-ballpark memory figures

Voltage is the main thing, while I cannot remember specifics, 4.9>5.0 required more than it was worth, but I was going for e-peen bragging rights joining the 5-Jiggahertz Club.

 

Recently my 2600K died from a Faulty PSU (The original PSU bought at the same time as CPU)

Such a shame, encoding performance on 8 threads with 4 overclocked cores will be missed.

But my (lack of funding) i5 4690 is no slouch

holy crap did you try a better cooler

[SkilledRebuilds]

Never. Due to ....well laziness really

I know.. I know..

I would have tried messing with it whenver i got a better cooler as in closed loop or huge air as the hyper 212 only dissipates a little bit of heat

[virtualTune]

holy crap what were the temps and what cooler were you useing

the temps were 65-75 C Cooler was a H105 with SP120s

BUT when I do these OCs, I do them for fun. So it is purely to reach certain set goals, in this case 5GHz. There is virtually no performance gain. So, to get to 5GHz I had to disable hyperthreading. I was able to get to 4.9GHz but I don't like my temps scratching 88C.

Agreed.

 

Was thinking cos of this thread...

2600XT (Dell blower style cooling) spare lying around, should find out its Deathly Maximums

okay makes sense

yea what are you cooling you current build with 

 you could do that while putting it next to an ac unit and a bunch of house fans blowing on it
