How overclocked are you?

[ShawnD1]

I have just overclocked for the first time and I'm loving it! I managed to get my AthlonXP 2500+ (1826mhz) up to 2310mhz. Sisoft Sandra thinks my CPU is a 3200+
Sandra's benchmarks confirmed the 25%+ performance gain.
I overclocked it by changing the FSB from 166mhz to 210mhz and upping the CPU voltage from 1.65 to 1.8


So what's your story? How much have you increased your CPU power?

I'm running a 2500+ at 3200+ [2.2ghz] It will go higher but this is plenty for me. I'm running stock voltages, just upped the FSB to 200mhz. ShawnD1, SiSoft Sandra is calling yours a 3200+ but it is actually faster than that.

I'm running Win2K on this and it is solid as a rock, never crashes. This is my 1st experience with Win2K. It is in a class by itself when it comes to stability. Makes Win98/ME look like a joke.

Well I have a P4 2.53 running at 3.04Ghz which I think is 160mhz fsb but I am not entirely certain. This chip runs at full load under 40C but when I tried above 3.1 my system wouldnt boot which is a shame. I cant remember what voltage I have it at but I couldnt run it stable at any value.

I have:

asus p4p800s
512mb ddr333 (these have not been oc'ed as I dont trust them)
9800pro

I am not that into overclocking hardware, but maybe I will soon.
Also as stated, your is not exactly a 3200+ right now. Yours is faster.
Nice overclocking you guys, the main thing is to keep your system stable.
If it is, then you got yourself a nice overclocked machine.

My P4 2.4C has been tested stable above 3.4GHz (285MHz x 12), though it is currently idling along at default speeds at this exact moment.

Those P4's 2.4GHz overclock like crazy!

Got mine up to 3.4ghz just today...

You have a nice system, I wouldn't risk overclocking it until it is more of a mid-range system

Nice! That's a 42% improvement. I guess the argument that AMD chips give more bang for the buck goes right out the window when you start talking about overclocking.

AMD still has a nice lead in the price-to-performance ratio. For example, when I purhased my P4C 2.4GHz it was twice the price of the Athlon 2500+ Barton.
