CPU Overclock List & Discussion Thread

re: CPU Overclock List & Discussion Thread

I had successfully OCed my Athlon II X4 to 3.5GHz but I dont see a noticable difference any games I play.Even with a 25% OC no much gain in games.The only advantage is the faster encoding times.Is it the lack of L3 affects gaming or the clock speeds has nothing to do over a particular range? Or the architecture matters most?

Bro Games use the GPU so the effect of OC is nominal but encoding is competely handled by CPU so u get performance benefit there in games it will matter if ur cpu is a bottleneck to a very powerful GPU in ur case it is not please correct me if i am wrong

Overclocked my Phenom 550 from 3.1 to 3.3 Ghz. My motherboard is crap, and does not allow further overclocking.

In Bioshock 2 with the stock cpu speed I got 30 FPS but when I oced the CPU to 3.7 Ghz the FPS jumped to 90 - so unreal engine 3.0 scales well with cpu OC

Crysis, AC II , AC BH , GTA 4, STALKER COP etc are not that smooth.
But other new games like Dirt3,Metro 2033,COD BO,Batman AA,Just cause 2 etc are smooth with full eye candy.

U can unlock it to 3 or 4 cores rather than oc for performance boost

there's no mobo named Asus M2968AM-PLUS only I could find is Asus M2N68-AM-PLUS - edit your siggy
ASUSTeK Computer Inc. - Motherboards- ASUS M2N68-AM PLUS

U can unlock it to 3 or 4 cores rather than oc for performance boost

His mobo does not support cpu unlocking ( acc ) - so he won't be able to unlock his cpu.

Seems you are getting decent thermals at nice speed. These K thingies OC like hell.

Thanks bro..any more suggestions?

Do u think that the TX4 has been applied properly?

@ mukherjee - nice start with your Core i7 2600K

expecting to see more speed out that cpu and I think you can go for 4.8 Ghz right now

@S_v

The overclock is awesome. The benchmarks are looking great especially 3d Mark Vantage




a small question=
Is there a way to make 3d mark vantage below the lowest supported resolution of 1280x1024? My monitor max resolution is below that
