Well that sucks, I can't register to view the page, and my E8500 needs about 1.4V to do 4.4GHz (though that may have changed, I haven't tried it on my P5Q Turbo yet-I still can't believe that its automatic voltage settings are good for 1.5V, especially considering its refurbished and supposedly for spares).

you should try it in the p5q turbo. 

Rig Specs:

AMD Threadripper 5990WX@4.8Ghz

Asus Zenith III Extreme

Asrock OC Formula 7970XTX Quadfire

G.Skill Ripheartout X OC 7000Mhz C28 DDR5 4X16GB  

Super Flower Power Leadex 2000W Psu's X2

I will once I free up a PSU, I'm trying to rig all of my legacy rigs in such a way that they work as one computer and I don't have any spare PSU as a result (and I don't think 230W will cut it)

I love LGA775. That's where I learned a lot about computers. I had some OEM G31 board (Foxconn G31MX-K) and got my Pentium E2200 from 2.2GHz to 3.1GHz and I felt like some kind of god :P

 

(I was like 12).

Jesus christ, at the age of 12, you WERE a OC god.

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.

Overclocking ancient stuff is just plain FUN. Especially when it's something hilariously old where the clockspeeds are laughable. It's a bit more involved with more bus speeds to keep track of, and since old BIOS' won't always tell you that you just dialed in DDR2-1600MHZ by accident! I will always miss the pre-UEFI bioses for their speed, I much prefer being able to blaze through the menus than have a pretty clickable UI.

 

All this talk of overclocking makes me think of my adventures in underclocking. When I converted my friend's e8400 gaming rig into a Linux home server (excellent way to learn linux btw), I went against what the Gigabyte guys were hoping his fancy OC motherboard would be for. I didn't want to push too hard, but I got 'er running at 1.8GHz and 400MHz on the RAM. Power consumption fell through the floor, but with Debian it saturates 1Gbit Ethernet no problem. S few months later my buddies wanted a minecraft server...a few bash scripts later and a mild OC and the same system has the single-core performance of a weaker Core i3. Minecraft doesn't thread, so that's fine!

If you think clockspeeds are laughable with DDR2 RAM in the equation, then you've really missed out on a lot. With a Pentium III 1GHz, getting a 100MHz overclock is brilliant, as long as your PC 133 SDRAM is capable of running stable at 150MHz.

Different systems in question... but my first OC was on a Radeon HD3450. It hit 60C and I panicked, unplugging the computer. I probably should have measured temps beforehand to get a reference frame, hehe.

Looking at my Xeon X5450's power requirements, to get it to 1.5V with my best possible setup I'll be utilizing nearly all the power my CX850M can supply. Those CPU's are crazy!

hey guys, i have a Q6600 with B3 Revision on a  G41MT-S2PT Board

 

I'm trying to do some kind of OC to this but i have some stability issues 

 

 
That photos from My BIOS etc, i have a CoolerMaster T4 installed
temps on idle are around 30ºC is there any tip for this bad chipset that you guys can give?

sorry for the late reply, been a bit busy with studies :P

 

As you're using a G41 board you wont be getting much more than 333MHz, but looking at your BIOS you can go a bit further with the CPU voltage. I'd try setting that to 1.3v and seeing if you can get anymore from it to begin with :).

Did what u said, leaved everything else at Auto, even Vcore termination.

After something like 10 mins on prime 95 more core 3 fails http://prntscr.com/6tzj90 (blend test)

Also http://valid.x86.fr/npaziw checking there and same on AIDA, my Vcore voltage is not at 1.3V, the difference there with AIDA is the temperature, on AIDA is lower like 10 to 12ºC

Should i increase Vcore Termination also?

 

EDIT: increased Termination to 1.3 (options were: auto, normal(1.2), 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4) and did the smalfft test on prime for 30 min, tempos seen ok, but the core 3 failed after 11 minutes, every other core did good

Hey guys,

How would a ASUS P5Q-EM as far as overclockability/VRM support and so on? Not much experience with 775.

System: Thinkpad T460

@harrynowl

It wouldn't be amazing but I think you'd get a small overclock from it, I'd say 1600MHz FSB would be the limit.

heavy breathing*

i have q6600 and msi p45 zilent

thought that only the unlocked processors can be overclocked

gotta try this, gonna ramp up 7 yr old hardware to 3.5 GHz

I had my X5450 benched over 4.5ghz hoping I made a  screenshot, that drive is in my laptop atm currently running recuva :P

 

I got a large selection but no cpus to play with (well, lots of 775s but most of them are bad :()

4.5ghz :o that should be over 500CB then. thats a nice collection of stuff you have, i'm liking the corsair dominator ram. i have got some new boxes to put all my cpu's in today. i have 43 775 cpu's and about 8 of them are good and the rest are average or below average.

509/5.5cb springs to mind can't remember the fsb I achieved, I'll try re-bench it at some point though :)

Your P5Q Deluxe hits that with enough airflow over the NB, right?

the highest i've had it is 577mhz, but i don't know think my Q6950 can go that high with the 9x multi.
