    Overclocking radeon hd 7670m

    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...

    How much can I overclock?

    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.

    Intel I7 3770K overclocked on MSI Z77-GD80 and MSI 7970 Lightning with Liquid Nitrogen

    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...

    Intel I7 3770K overclocked on MSI Z77-GD80 and MSI 7970 Lightning with Liquid Nitrogen

    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...

    Intel I7 3770K overclocked on MSI Z77-GD80 and MSI 7970 Lightning with Liquid Nitrogen

    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.

    Intel I7 3770K overclocked on MSI Z77-GD80 and MSI 7970 Lightning with Liquid Nitrogen

    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...

    HIS Radeon HD7970 Benchmarked on LN2

    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.

    HIS Radeon HD7970 Benchmarked on LN2

    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.

    HIS Radeon HD7970 Benchmarked on LN2

    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...

    Software for CPU overclocking

    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...

    Software for CPU overclocking

    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...
