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

[Lays]

holy crap how much further can you opush the 4790k on that cooling setup i would think a ton

I sold all that cooling stuff along with the 3930k + 780s but I think when I finish water cooling this build I'll be able to hit 5.2 maybe, 5 GHz was only somewhat stable with the212 and the temps were to high to get it stable. I think ill delid it and mount a water block directly on the die to see what I can push it to

I "overclocked" an old Core 2 Duo by getting a different CPU (waste of 12 dollars), but I just got my i5-4670k up to 4.4Ghz stable on an ASRock Pro4. Anything higher than that crashes, not sure why.

[nightmare_Vg]

anything to 85c is perfectly ok

why do I keep crashing? I put the voltage to 1.305 and move it up to 4.4 ghz and i get a blue screen is it the temperatures?

Im not the right guy to ask, i have a stock cooler on a 4770k and have no clue how to OC  

 

I think that just means its a unstable clock. I dont know how to fix it though.

I've gotten my 990x up to 5.0GHz cpuz validated, passed 6hours of intel burn test and also ran AIDA64. but there is no need so I just run it at a easy over clock at 4.5GHz Running a 420mm rad thats 60mm thick with push pull fans

 

Case:NZXT Switch 810

Moatherboard: Gigabyte G1 Guerrilla

CPU Chip Intel I7 990x Overclocked to 4.5 Ghz

24Gigs of Dominator DDR3 Ram

256Gb Samsung Evo SSD

320gb Raptor Drive

2-1Tb hard drives

1,000watt PowerTrain powersupply 

Nvidia Geforce GTX680

420mm radiator for water cooling

Logitech G510s keyboard/G700s mouse.

and there is more but not gonna put all of it, to much this is the basics lol

 

Here's a link to some picture I took a long time ago I've changed a few things since these pictures were taken.

[wrath]

AMD A6 3670k from 2.7 to 3.2 but didnt leave it cause i have a stock cooler.,and got a bit hot while playing

i cant even oc my cpu on stock as it throttles with the stock cooler

im using my A6 with stock cooler at 3Ghz no probs

Intel C2Q Q6700 from 2.66 to 4.2, an extra 1.5GHz

I was rocking 1.9V on air for that bad boy, only good for a screenshot

yea what were temps io could imagine that they were through the roof

67C idle

 

I was right to the limit, the processor wont even really go 3.8 anymore, it was fairly stable at 3.8 1.5V before.

[harrynowl]

I have my E8400 running 4.2Ghz at 1.25v or 4.4Ghz at 1.275v

understandable

[Jumper118]

my i5 was oc'ed by 57% from 3.4 to 5.35. i normally keep it at 47%

my pentium g3258 was oc'ed by 56.25% from 3.2 to just over 5ghz. its normally at 53%

my 2ghz celeron got from 2ghz to 3.1ghz which is 55%.

 

most of my gpu's are clocked high from the factory so anything i put on top is small, my 7970 lightning can barely do 8% my 670 can't manage 12%

What country is it based in as i haven't seen any of them in the us

Seems to originally be from california, but

"2000 Gainward establishes its operation Gainward Europe in Germany."

My i7 920 from 2.66 to 3.8 stable (that's a 43% increase!), but I turned it down to 3.6 w/ 3.96 Turbo because single core performance is more important and the temps/volts were less. i7 920s are known to easily go higher, but mine is getting on in years and was running on the stock cooler (in other wards: way too temps) for too long so I don't really want to push it that hard. I'm also only air cooled using an Evo 212.

THAT MAKES SENSE

[awepicness]

I overclocked my AMD A6-3650 from being able to go to 2.6GHz stock to 4... on air... in an HP

it's been that way for a few months and still runs great

[nokturrduk84]

Got my 3770k to the 4.9ghz. Just ran benchmarks quickly, then get back to the stock

How did you manage this? I also have an A8 5600K I'd also like to raise it without harming life span too much. No Discrete GPU as yet but hoping to get the Gigabyte R9 280x in the near future

 

SPECs

Mobo: G1 Sniper A88X

Ram: AMD R9 (2x4GB) DDR3-2133

Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 21 EVO

How on earth did you get an Agena core Phenom that high

Very loose RAM timings, painstakingly trying every FSB combo, lots of time, voltage and cooling! I have a screenshot knocking around if you're interested?

yea i would be interested in what you pumped into the chip
