Though unlike general perception, overclocking in todays day and age is pretty safe but I will agree with other members here, Overclocking laptop GPU is not safe since its quite closely integrated with the motherboard and even though GPU temperature might be safe but it might heat up other...

No its not only noobish but the information is completely wrong. Ivybridge has been overclocked only till 7.15Ghz with LN2 which is the record for now. As for above 8Ghz that has been achieved only by Bulldozer and Pentium 4 and has been done more than a year ago.

With Sandybridge and Ivybridge its not about skills anymore TBH. Its all about luck, and the amount of time and money you are willing to spend to find a great chip because these CPUs once you reach their limit, would not react either to cold or volts. For ivybridge you need LN2 to find that...

TBH, 7Ghz would not be possible unless I test atleast 100 CPUs which I neither have time or money for. Only handful of people around the globe have been able to do that and that too only with the help of sponsorship etc. But my educated guess is that my CPU is capable of 6.8-6.9Ghz, so thats...

Thanks a lot, :D, would so like to do this again but with a small kid at home, its only once in 2-3 months that I am able to go for these sessions. Ah it seems we are acquainted though not able to recognise you with this ID of yours, :D. And nice eye, yeah borrowed it from my wife, :D

There are different types of insulation that can be done on motherboard to avoid condensation issues. Now the insulation material being Vaseline, Art Eraser, Neoprene. The better the insulation the more smoother bench session goes.

the first 3 pics are when I was trying only CPU clocks , and the gpu used is 8600gt....last 2 pics R of 7970

So MSI had an Overclocking competition going on, mentioned here because of which started testing MSI motherboards alongwith MSI graphic cards, had a hectic few weeks where nothing seemed to be cooperating but still got some decent results. Shivam was a great support all this while and...

If you can increase the budget of cooler then will suggest SVGTech HOC20 for 5K. For mobo dont use Asus, so personally will suggest the Gigabyte Mobo....

Yup very true, Voltage was 1.4V, ofcourse ABE set, cannot do any hard mods to the card since it has to be returned back. Next run would be with 3930K, sadly all the stores are out of stock and it seems Intel is not supplying new lot. So will have to wait.

You say one day as if hitting 1.5Ghz is so far away, :twisted:, if you see the screenshot the card was running at 1480Mhz for a few benches. Infact I did run 1.5Ghz as well, sadly in Unigine at Scene 26 (which is the last) it hung up, sadly my LN2 was over as well hence was not able to test further.

Yup.....In this session I used a KP pot. Thanks........

There are many enthusiast Pot makers in US and Europe, hit XS to get the list of Pot Makers. For the 2nd query, *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/1546430-post15.html

Thanks, but I guess there would be many better than me just that either money or passion is what is lacking, :-x Thanks, I guess Z68 UD7 would still be available??? Just that I find the features of Z68 superficial, :D Thanks........:D They are not usually called as coolers, but Pots...

It seems such a long time that I have posted in the Overclocking section, but I guess in reality its not that long, anyways a few weeks ago got hold of HIS HD7970 from Tirupati Enterprise. And have been testing it on air, though it was a great card on air but on LN2 it proved to be a dampner. It...

Ah yes....sorry misread it....He did mention that he used auto oc....:oops: After 100's of time of overclocking through windows, have not ever botched a OS because of corrupted files due to bad overclocking settings.....Could have happened to a few but then a few would have bad OS even after...

Please read a bit before suggesting such utter non-sense. Software OC is completely safe and does not harm your CPU, since a tool like SETFSB doesnot even give the option to push higher voltages. And that is the reason why your overclock maynot be stable when done through Setfsb. Another...

Re: AMD FX8150 on MSI 990FXA-GD80 Powered by Antec HCP1200 and Cooled with LN2 @ 7467 Basically even for hardware lent for Review purpose, most major computer manufacturers need to see ROI, which means, for which website you would be writing the review for. So you need to keep doing your work...

Re: AMD FX8150 on MSI 990FXA-GD80 Powered by Antec HCP1200 and Cooled with LN2 @ 7467 There are hell lot of LN2 suppliers I believe in every city. Medical industry uses LN2 a lot. I believe there are many other uses as well. Catch is that, you need a supplier to send LN2 to your place (there...

Re: AMD FX8150 on MSI 990FXA-GD80 Powered by Antec HCP1200 and Cooled with LN2 @ 7467 Thanks, hehehehe, yeah changed the ram in the middle of the session...Will update. Thanks, keeping my fingers crossed, lets see....... Yeah thats what I am hoping for, lets see.......Though I do...
