Core 2 Extreme X6800 overclocked 5.7GHz

[Anusha]

OMG!!! Check it out here (http://www.nordichardware.com/news,4970.html).

That's three times as fast as my CPU's clock speed.

However, I'd rather have a slower CPU than have it running on a test bench :D

"""The processor, was of course, a X6800 while the motherboard was an ASUS P5W64. Using liquid nitrogen OPB managed to push his X6800 processor to over 5.7GHz from the stock frequency of 2.93GHz, close to a 100% overclock."""

wow dats amazingf but u nned ta have liq nitro ne bunzzz:(:(

[Anusha]

Yeah :D
When it comes to records, who cares how it was achieved - if it was actually achieved? :)
I really wished this motherboard let me overclock my CPU. I just can't stay calm when other people are hitting 3GHz+ with this CPU on good motherboards.

[themera]

wow thnx for the info mucho

[sridanu]

well im not really into this Overclocking stuff. Theres a high risk of ur procesor burning up. :shocked: :shocked:

and i cant afford a new processor:( :(

[Anusha]

It's only "dangerous" if you increase the voltage (which would result in more heat). Remember, power input (and output) is a function of square of voltage. So even a slight voltage increase would make the temperatures significantly high. If you can overclock even to 10GHz with default voltage, it will not get damaged.

stil nothing practical in overclockin stock cpus :(

so y cant u overclock dude??? ithnk u said y but damn cant rememba:lol:

so what ya sayin dude????

[HishamZz]

@ Novidhu - Practicality in the sense being able to do it anytime, easily and at a relatively cheaper cost.. You ve gotta keep feedin nitro for that system to work.. wonder how far water based coolers could take da clock too though...

hmmmmm u got some point dere......yeah dats true.......!!!!

hav u done overclockin with nitro?

[HishamZz]

nope.. i d not got half da cash to buy a water cooler either lol.. i ve seen demos o nitro coolers but hel.. overclockin is for da hardcore gamer.. am perfectly happy @ da frame rate i get from ma processor.. but shit thin is ma colour card.. sniff.. :( datz scrws it up.. n no overclockin dis stupid 6200 as it is turbocache based..

i dnt think anybody has performed nitro OC here in SL.. i think...

Oh yeah?

Ok. Think about this scenario. I have had the need to encode videos few times. I used to encode a lot of DVDs before I had ADSL. But every once in a while, I get the need to encode videos.

I used to encode DVD to DivX, 2-passes using AutoGK maximum quality 1/3 DVD size on my old AthlonXP 2600+. It took about 1.25-2 times the length of the movie. (i.e. if the movie is 2 hours, it would take about 2.5 hours to 4 hours depending on the complexity of the frames).

My new CPU (Core 2 Duo 1.86GHz) can do it in about 1/3 to 1/4 the time of my AthlonXP. Still this is about 45min to 1.25hours. If I could overclock my CPU to 3GHz, I would be able to finish the job in 25min to 45 min. This is a big amount of time savings if we do this constantly. If I have a TV Card (I have one, but it's not good, so I haven't plugged it in) and a good antenna or cable TV, then encoding will be all my life.

Overclocking the CPU alone would make the jobs finish in 60% the time.

I also do Maya rendering, though I haven't done it in quite a while. 3GHz Core 2 Duo will fly against an 1.86GHz Core 2 Duo. Remember, this is not just 1.13Ghz - this is 2x1.13GHz (dual core :))

so y cant u overclock dude??? ithnk u said y but damn cant rememba:lol:

I can't, because this is an Intel Classic series motherboard, which is supposed to provide maximum stability rather than performance.

hav u done overclockin with nitro?

No point going for nitro. Why we overclock is because we can't afford highest end CPUs like the X6800 2.93GHz which retails for around US$920. If I had a good motherboard such as Gigabyte 965P-DS3 or DS4 or DQ6, I would have easily had an "X6800" with even higher FSB because you need 430MHz (x4) FSB to reach 3GHz. Only good "overclockers'" motherboard can hit 500MHz. There are people who have hit 3.5GHz with 1.86GHz CPU (but with a minor voltage increment).

You can't see any improvement with liquid nitrogen on E6300 (1.86GHz) CPU. This is because it's not the CPU that's holding you back from reaching more than 3.5GHz. It's the motherboard. For 3.5GHz, you need 3500/7=500MHz FSB. There aren't many motherboards that can reach that level. If you can find a motherboard, you can easily achieve 3.5GHz with a better air cooler than a stock cooler and don't even require water cooling. It's not even the RAM that's holding you back. You can always set a different RAM divider. I don't have the knowledge to explain this any further because I haven't done it. I will defnitely buy a new motherboard when the prices become low. Gigabyte 965P-DS3 retails for around 22000 at PC Parnter and it doesn't even have two 16x PCI-E slots for ATI Crossflash. nVidia SLI is not supported on Intel chipsets yet. DQ6 is the best motherboard and I'm sure it will cost a fortune.

If what I have heard is true, water cooling doesn't give better thermal performance than a good air cooler. Only benefit is that you can have a 0dB noise level from the CPU cooler because there aren't a fan. But there are water coolers than have fans too.

seemz like wut i meant by practical has not been comprehended... overclockin via bios or jumpers is just the fundamentals of basic overclocking.. yes there is performance increments doin such OCs but as to performance gains doin the basics.. it aint revolutionary for todays requirement..

what i meant is that there is no cheap and effective system which would boost the overclocking capability of a mobo.. there are water based systems and nitro yes.. am talking about cost effectiveness..

I once did a overclocking for the sake of fun and knowledge which involved ma cpu being strapped to da bone with the processor facing a A/C .. yup.. a air conditioner with its temperature about 16 or 18.. cant remember.. brought a 2.8 ghz processor upto 3.3 ghz but it is not practical and stupid.. i cant expect 2 have da freakin a/c on 24x7 and da pc strapped 2 its pants literally yeah?

as for Nitro overclocking.. it is a diminishing resource.. in the sense that water based cooling @least would have a cheap "re-fill" process whereas Liquid Nitro is kinda hard to come by...

btw wut ya encodin so much eh?

I used to encode DVDs to DivX/XviD and collect them (burn to DVDs). Only the good ones. You have to start doing it to see how addictive it is. 3rd parties (I mean, the ones who don't do it) don't give a damn about it :)

Is that a P4C 2.8GHz (Northwood, not the Prescott) CPU that you own? If yes, those are the best overclocking CPUs except for Core 2 Duo. People can easliy hit 3.6GHz with a 2.8GHz.

[HishamZz]

I dnt rip... i dload em ;) saves me da time... with ma studies i cant sit around @ da comp the whole day man.. sad scene...

cant remember da processor as it was a year back me remember... just worked on a processor with ma pal.. i was overclocking passionate.. but with time da interest gradually reduced.. but after i start earnin hopefully with enough fundin and contingency cash for scrw ups.. i might just start again lmao...

The Pentium D6200 (i think) dual core shit has some OC capability.. was planning to buy it as there ve been confirmed reports o buggers easily hittin 4 gigz.. but i doubt whether that model o da processor exists as it was the manufacturing process in a sub-contracted intel manufacturing company in some country which had dat capability.. all processors dnt.. sniff :(

really? Have u overclocked ur PC?

You must be talking about the PentiumD 805 (2.66GHz 533FSB). Yeah you can overclock it easily to 3.5GHz or so. But be prepared to pay a huge electricity bill, if the PC is on most of the times.:(
