amd 3800+

Was just thinking.... can you overclock this from 2.4ghz to about 3.4ghz? Then it would be faster then the intel by a lot right?

uhh... thats a pretty big no. if you lived in antarctica and had your computer in an unheated room, with liquid nitrogen cooling, it could be possible. other than that, i dont think its happening.

lol just wondering. How far could you overclock it then

 

[knuckle50]

not far at all. the difference in performance would be so negligable its not worth the decreased life of the processor.

I had my 3200+ Barton running @ 13*218 for 2834 MHz. It was initially stable, but would get ‘blue screen’ failure, followed by lockup after a few minutes of ‘Toast’. It is currently rock solid @ 11*216 for 2376 MHz. I think that the higher multipliers cause problems for the 3200.

I eblieve multipliers are locked on all AMD's except the FX series as of a few monthes ago

then whats the highest u can overclock the 3.4 p4 and having it remain stable

Yeah I remember reading about that... damn losers who overclock to sell at higher prices...

Hmmm I gotta go switch processors with my brother's older virgin 2500 barton... He won't notice his speed dropping from 2500 to 2100, will he?

i have a 3200+ 64 and the max stable overclock is from 2.0 to 2.2

anything above that won't boot.

Sometimes i can get ~2.3 but its very unstable and reboots under any strenuous(sp?) activity.

 

[mrzeeedler]

what about the p4?
