Intel i7 Overclocking

Oh, I see, thanks.

He said turbo would make it 3.40GHz, so why does it say 3.20GHz?

I said "like 3.40ghz" not exactly 3.4ghz, no need to whine over 100mhz..

At this point though, just try it yourself

Sorry its just very hard to help somone who (it would seem) has life so easy. I still dont understand how you magically got a $3000-$5000 PC......

Ive spent practically my entire life with a Pentium 4.

I priced it out on alienware (with a 975 and dual 285s and didn't change the HDD setup) and it was just over $5k.

I can't even imagine how much AlienWare charged you for that system... did you buy any parts and install yourself or did you have AlienWare do it all for you?


I could never pay $5K+ for a computer... I mean... wow.



I could duplicate your system from mine for.. $1,400 more right now... Lolz

Which makin what I already spent on monitor and all that... be about $3,000 and I'd have a i7 920 laying around doing nothing and 12GB of RAM that would be 1/2 wasted.... Doesn't seem to worth it to me...

Guess I could use 6GB of extra ram and the old "i7 920" I had with a $200 board and a $60 Harddrive with a $100 GPU as a backup system... Lol....

so... spend 1,800 more and have 2 i7 systems for a total cost of $3,400



And Zed.. yea.. it's.. really amazing how some people have life so easy that they can afford a $5K+ dollar PC for Gaming use... I mean.. sheesh... I'd have to win the PowerBall (lottery) here to be able to live like that.

Here's a little snip from my life-
I could live pretty well on $1,500/month income. However due to location and the economy sucking so badly I barely make $250/month, I can no longer afford to pay rent so I had to move back in with Family (*shudder*) now my freedom is gone, I have to live by "the house rules" which means bed early, lots of chores, and no drinking or having fun. Game time is limited.

That being said - $5,000 for a PC is literally 3 months of Freedom I could of had.

given my sub 2000 dollar computer runs at 4.5ghz... to add one more 285 would put me at 2340 or so... I'd say dollar for dollar.. I have alienware beat.. typically people who have money to blow, or just don't do research buy those things... I know I considered it before I started researching when I went to buy my first system a few years back...

 

[Hefemeister]

Alrighty then.

The OP has received plenty of info to research the OC of their proc.
