Bawaaaa is better, from Aatish..! Baba, you sound like a kid.

so i'll stick to OCCT+Core Temp combo

anyways i thought you completed warhead by now
i tried warhead on my PC
playable frames were only achievable at 800*600 resolution with high settings and 1024 resolution with low settings
so i uninstalled it and will start it when i'll buy a gfx card this diwali

I completed Warhead years ago, but still have it on my system. No other game stresses the GPU + CPU together so well. I takes up almost 2GB of system RAM, and is a good tool to benchmark/test real world scenarios. I also use it to test drivers each time I change one.

thats a good way
i mean cpu ki bhi exercise ho jayegi
aur apna game khelna bhi ho jayega

Eeeerm...Bawa was Sanjay Dutt's name in Aatish. Him and Aditya Panscholi play friends and gangsters. Probably one of the best gangster movies to come out, similar to Saathi.

Guess you might not have seen it it was released in 1994. Yea am old.

Regarding Warhead, I do not actually play it. There is a benchmark utility, which auto launches a game and you can choose configurations, and video settings, along with number of loops. It benches the game, and shows the results. Excellent. One of my favorites. This way the OC is also tested for real world scenarious. Till date nothing stresses it more (not counting synthetics here), probably apart from BC2.

The Benchmark tool looks like this. But you need to have the game installed.

i would definitely do a cross fire(2HD5770) some day with a heavy corsair PSU. Just for the sake of doing it

 

[asingh]

Honestly Xfire is the most fun, when you use the 2 highest end cards available. Nothing beats it.

his name buddy.

yes i know. u can call him our graphics teacher nobody messes with him nor his system. truly speaking, first time i seen his siggy, my mouth went wide open. people buy a single HD4870. he got 2 HD4890 is Xfire. a budget proccy OC to extreme level (if 4Ghz isn't extreme, i don't know what is). its just insane

 

[Piyush]

yup
he's a serious OCer

 

[Jaskanwar Singh]

his rig is just CLASSIC, absolutely wonderful...
and his knowledge about tech is amazing....
Big fan....

 

[coderunknown]

yup
he's a serious OCer

his rig is just CLASSIC, absolutely wonderful...

fully he knows how to manage his rig well. cause he not only OC his rig but takes good all round care too.

Eerrrm..guys..enough praises. Am blushing here. Ya the "a" in asingh stands for Anil.

Well, trying to get the Q9550 at 4.00 stable Have reached 3.85Ghz stable with Intel Burn Test. Just that its not anymore just pushing in vCore, there are like 8 different voltage tweaks, MCH, ICH, CPU_GLT_0,CPU_GLT_1,vref_A,vref_B, MCH_GTL, VTT FSB.

Just the architecture of LGA775 with Quad cores is ill suited. Its actually 2x cores on 2 dies glued together, which inter connect on the NB. So NB is really critical here. Will update you all, once I reach 4.00 Ghz. Not even gamed past one month, just OC'ing like a dog...!

^^ I remeber my OC started it on Aug 2009 - was able to got a stable clock speed and other settings on dec 09.

Among this time 2 DVD discs went kaput - have to press the reset button for countless times and had to clear bios setting twice - if it's not enough constantly the system was under monitoring apps ( temp, voltage etc. ) and had to run stability test apps and benchmarks many times.

 

[pulsar_swift]

topgear whats ur config bro ?
Asigh keep trying. Good Luck

I have read OC chapter in this month's DIY FT.
But,still afraid to OC my CPU.....
Though DIY lacks many deatails.....

 

[Piyush]
