I am using the prolimatech megahalem with OCZ Freeze. Best air CPU cooler on the market, and if you say otherwise, you are really fucking dumb.

I tried to overclock my 2.66GHz Q9400 to 3.0GHz and now I need a new case. I hit 100C with the OC on full load and it turns out that I hit that on full load at stock. Don't be too alarmed, I only hit 40C on idle. Buying a cheap $60 case tomorrow probably :3

[QUOTE=dtoporowski;16867490]What cpu cooler.[/QUOTE] Stock. I know that's part of the problem, but my case is an old server case that has two fans, both at the back. I'm keeping the side panels off now to keep it down a bit.

[QUOTE=Robbazking;16867975]Do you really hit 34c idle with that? Hang on i need to check reviews before shiting here. *Holy shit the first tests i looked on, it ended up being better than both v10 and True. The damn true was dual faned. Might get one of those.[/QUOTE] :smug: I have two fans on, as well as the default HAF on top.. one extracting air from the back.. ughh airflow, the haf way lol. Yeah get it, worth the cash. Forget thermalright ultra extreme! As far as i know, Prolimatech was formed by people who worked for thermalright, and their designs were rejected.. So they went off and formed prolimatech and made the best cooler. Lol stupid thermalright. (let me find a source b4 u rate me dumb assholes)

However, as soon as you push it over the max electrical specifications, it will degrade. But take in mind, it takes very long. It is very hard to break a chip UNLESS you are stupid enough to go over 1.45 VTT (or whatever is specified.) after 1.45 it really degrades fast..

[img]http://filesmelt.com/downloader/CPUID_Hardware_Monitor.png[/img] The actual stock clock is 750 MHz core and 800 MHz mem. This thing beats GTS 250. Gotta love 40 nm. I can overclock further but the temperatures won't allow me, room temp is around 32C. Core clock: 850 MHz. Mem clock: 1000 MHz (4 GHz GDDR5).
[IMG]http://i738.photobucket.com/albums/xx25/Ranaro/GPUsettings.jpg[/IMG] If anyone knows a safer and better overclock, it would be greatly appreciated :D
New case with some decent fans. Went to a swap meet. This is much better. OC'd to 3.04GHz.

[editline]07:06PM[/editline] Oh, and my 8800 died so the 7300 is a temp card.
I used to have my E6550 overclocked from 2.3 GH to 3.3 GH at 1.2125 volts.
Upped again to 3.2GHz. Been sitting on this load for about 20 minutes. Seems stable enough, only at 35C on idle. [url]http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=669751[/url] [img]http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/7846/betteragain.png[/img]
So i tried overclocking my cpu a bit further: [img]http://www.shrani.si/f/6/ZU/1bqwSwg1/cpu.png[/img] When i went over 380 fsb, the computer started having problems booting (1 long beep, then 3 short beeps at every startup, it's supposed to mean memory problems. After that, it proceeds to boot normally.), but it ran fine otherwise. When i got to 400 fsb, weird things started happening: image corruption, weird mouse lag, and finally it crashed when i started a prime95 stress test. I did this all at 1.35V vcore. I won't go any higher than that, as it is the highest voltage within intel's specifications and i don't want to fuck anything up. I think i'm gonna leave it at 375 fsb and call it a day. Currently i'm running prime95, if it's stable for an hour or two, i'm going to start lowering the voltage.
Wahey, just thought i'd piss about... The real problem on my motherboard is vDroop :( So, i cranked the volts up a little more than usual and bam, 4Ghz for the first time stable on this chip :D [img]http://filesmelt.com/downloader/4Ghz.JPG[/img] EDIT: Scratch that, 2 mins later it BSOD'd. Back down the Ghz ladder i go...
The only overclock I have is the one that came factory set on my 9800GTX+, but I could easily clock my CPU up to 3.8/4GHz from 3.2GHz because it's watercooled
you watercooled your CPU but don't overclock it ...what
1. Just cause its watercooled does not mean it will OC good. 2. Why get watercooling if you don't overclock? Also, i7 owners, up your uncore to 3.8 GHz or 4GHz, it really gives a performance[highlight][/highlight] boost when you are overclocking. keep it around your core clock, actually.
[QUOTE=Zorlok;16837092][IMG]http://i612.photobucket.com/albums/tt201/ZorlokVII/OC1.jpg[/IMG] That's what I keep mine at, more than fast enough.[/QUOTE] Whats your temp (cores) at that clock?
I got my Q9550 to 4GHz @ 1.28 and it was around 28 idle and 55 load (C)
[QUOTE=Xenos;16916401]Whats your temp (cores) at that clock?[/QUOTE] Well right now they're around 32/31/35/37C, under load they all generally hover around ~40-42C. If they're loaded down 100% they'll climb a bit higher, usually to around 45-48C.
what the fuck @ zorlok's voltage
[QUOTE=Odellus;16920146]what the fuck @ zorlok's voltage[/QUOTE] 1.232v? My Core2 uses only 1.296v when overclocked by 800Mhz. At stock speeds it can do 1.1v :)
Just Unlocked 4th Core (: Gonna OC Soon. [IMG]http://i29.tinypic.com/35kuagk.png[/IMG]

Quads need more voltage than anything and I have to run my Q9400 at 1.3V to keep my system stable at 3.8GHz. [editline]05:50PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Owscar8;16928626]Just Unlocked 4th Core (: Gonna OC Soon. [IMG_thumb]http://i29.tinypic.com/35kuagk.png[/IMG_thumb][/QUOTE] what the hell is wrong with your temperatures
My C2Q runs 1.45v. His volts are low.
What quad? 1.45 is the max for my Q9400.
I run my Q9550 @ 1.25, but there's a little bit of vdroop. That's pretty much as low as I could get it while still keeping everything stable at those speeds.
