| Great to see new people liking the oc-scene. Please, oh please, don't stop overclocking when this contest ends |

@Massman: I don't have enough money to spend on new hardware, but maybe I'll go the cheap oc style like piotke Btw, no OC'ing today because it's my birthday Last edited by Stida : 6th May 2008 at 18:50. | |

| Thank you very much. My birthday gifts to myself: -Another 3d mark score -A temporary drivers license 3.2Ghz worked now (400*8) I gave it 1.4125 vcore and it did what it had to do (kind of... but I'll explain that later) I also changed the fan configuration a bit (geoffry said something about cooling the northbridge may be getting hot, so I had some testing to do) during the previous benches, I laid the 'exhaust fan' (the black box above the gfx card on the pictures) on the cpu heatsink, blowing some air to the northbridge. Today I did some testing with my fans, and I noticed it doesn't moves that much air. --> 2 fans vertically on the heatsink and the exhaust fan, so they blew fresh air to the mosfets, northbridge and gfx card. The result(s): First run: hmm, not that much marks as I hoped it would be, especially when you look to the previous results.... second run (I changed the GPUcore to 860 Mhz, GPUmem to 1200Mhz using rivatuner) Notice that GPU-Z doesn't detect the correct speeds (or arent the speeds set when I don't restart???) |

| And for today the (last) runs: 3D mark Spi: Booted @ 410*8 1.4v in bios (I want to keep it safe because I still need this pc for school) than I used setFSB to raise the FSB to 425Mhz (430 didn't work, and I don't have enough time to test FSB's between 425 and 430, or higher vcores) For tomorrow: I won't be able to continue, since I'm coming home around 10 pm, and I've got to get up around 7 am the next morning. Good luck too all the others for the last day!! |

| I think I could have done better, with a non-for-normal-use setup In fact, I did learn quite a lot about overclocking during this contest |
