I know this has been done before so meh..

Anyway, anyone here at gtp tried overclocking? I know some of you have done, do you have pictures?

Here's mine - CPU Temp holding steady at 30°C, but as soon as I start winamp it'll rise a few (:mad:) [EDIT] Started winamp and put the side of my case back on and it hit 37°C

It's an XP2500+ I've got no idea why it says it's a 3200+ but its standard clock is 1.83Ghz, I use a Volcano 12 and it's currently spinning at full speed (5818rpm). I only have two case fans, 1x 80mm intake and 1x 80mm exhaust. I ordered two 120's to shove in the top of my case last night, I'll setup on as the intake the other as exhaust. Hopefully it'll get the case cooler in this hot summer weather.

Oh yeah, I can't get PS installed in this machine, so paint it is :(

I overclocked my TNT2 M64 Video Card one with a Geforce overclocker it said it would be ok, I increased the clockspeed and the whole computer dcrewed up, the screen was munched and everything.

Otherwise I over clock my 500mhz to 550mhz in my Bios thats about it!
 
1ghz to 1.1ghz with a fairly standard fan and it's stable. It's not like i'd use the extra 100mhz anyway.

Click to expand...

wasn't that because amd squeezed the hell out of their chips after a certain speed? I remember people taking 2500+ and turning them into 3000+ by a few tweaks because they were all the same chip but underclocked... AMD did that to save money - underclock a faster chip...

Anyways, i'd be able to take my 1900+ probably to a 2100+ equivilant if I had better cooling. My system is currently built for maximum silence without sacrificing cooling and it's not cool enough for an OC but it's more than enough for what qualifies as normal use for me...
 
I'm kind of in the same place. I'd rather underclock for cooling / noise reasons. I don't care about outrageous speed. If I did I would just buy a dual Xeon system or something.
