Does raising the voltage (JUST THE VOLTAGE, not the fsb/htt or timings) raise the clock speed of the processor on its own? I have an engineering teacher who says he overclocked his processer (Stock Pentium 4 3.2Ghz) past 6Ghz by raising the vcore to 6.8V!! He said it immediately got hot so he cooled it down with his japanese water cooling system, he says when its not overclocked the cooling system keeps his processor at a chilly 12C. O_O Wow.
Anyways the reason I ask is because I'm going to show him this exact thread and I just wanted you guys to input on this. When I tried to explain to him what overclocking is he said I was "OVERCLOCKING THE SYSTEM" not the "PROCESSOR" and the only way I can overclock the processor ALONE is by upping ONLY the vcore. Am I retarded or right? I always understood overclocking was a mix of setting up memory dividers, adjust vdimm's, adjusting vcore's, adjusting FSB/HTT, adjusting voltage to the chipset, etc... He said its just simply adding more voltage to the processor. I said that just makes the processor hotter and doesn't do anything at all. he disagrees, can someone prove EITHER of us wrong?
Oh yeah, he said he also did all this miracle overclocking without setting up a memory divider, thats right boys, 6.2GHZ with a 1:1 ratio.
Anyways keep the thread clean so I can show him in class tommorow.
