Andy867 Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 A friend of mine overclocked his p4 from 2.56 to 3.84 with the Swiftech water cooling system, and it runs roughly 40°C on full load, and about 29 in idle. he also used ramsinks (heatsinks for RAM) and also used the Aphanix Iceberg cooling system to cool his graphics card. he pushed it up by 300% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jah Warrior Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 Originally posted by Andy867 he pushed it up by 300% I must admit I find that hard to believe, even with liquid nitrogen cooling a 100% overclock still has not been reached even by those at the very top of the ladder.

Andy867 Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 actually, if you check overclockers.org I believe, people have been able to push an entire pc to the brink of what should be frying, but peltiers, water cooling, and what not have allowed them to go farther.

Jah Warrior Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 http://www.overclockers.org is non-existant as is a 300% overclock, those systems wouldn't even boot even if they were running at absolute zero mate. From memory the highest I've seen the new canterwood pentiums is 4.2ghz an the highest Athlons are running at 3.1ghz and i make it my business to know these things. In all seriousness the 100% overclock is the holy grail of the overclocking world, I believe its been achieved once before, a long time ago.

farley98 Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 I learned a lot about OC'ing my card at http://www.gruntville.com. They have a cool how to in the forums and if you're into casemods, their's is the best! I got my 4400 up to over 4600 speeds with their how to.
