Just curious about how many of you guys and girls actually overclock your processor and/or GPU. So if you do, what processor have you OC'ed, and at what speed is it running? Same goes for those OC'ing your GPU, which one do you got and what speed do you have it running at? Had any CPU/GPU that were particularly good or bad at overclocking? Personally I have my i5 3570K running at 4.4GHz and a GTX 680 that is factory OC'ed by 50MHz, added another 75 to that and it is now running at 1124 before the boost comes in. Which can't decide if it wants it running at 1202, 1206 or 1215MHz. Both of them happens to be my first attempt at overclocking and so I am pretty pleased with the results :)

MSI Afterburner already has a unlock voltage settings, won't you be able to change the voltage on kepler cards with it? Oh and forgot I have given the VRAM a slight boost as well. 6.4GHz instead of 6GHz.

no
the cards use the max voltage the bios allows

so changing it msi afterburner/precision won't do anything

stock is 1.15 volts I think


there's a physical voltage mod for the 680, nothing for the 670 =/

Ah okay. Well I don't think I will touch that voltage yet. Maybe later.

My last CPU I had at 3.4Ghz but I havent felt the need to OC my 2600K yet. My 580 is also stock but my 460 was OC'd when it was my main runner, now its at stock.

Just my processor. My GPU is capable of doing pretty much anything without an overclock (I did OC my previous CF setup, though).

oh and more interestingly my galaxy skyrocket is oc'd 1.5 ghz stock 260mhz 3d clocks (adreno 220 I think) oc'd to 1.778 ghz and 320mhz on the gpu My phone goes on fire when I play emulators, in fact the screen lowers the brightness since it warns me my phone is too hot. I'll decide when my hand is on fire > : |

How much? Do the first generation i-cores run at less than 3ghz on stock?[QUOTE="kraken2109"]955 @ 3.6ghz 1.4v Tried OC'ing the GPU, didn't really get anywhere

Isn't that voltage a bit high? Speaking of voltages, dunno what happened with mine after I updated the bios. I remember what I changed to get it running at 4.4. Did the same and it is stable at that, however now it seems to lower the voltage when I am using the CPU heavily and increase it to 1.280 when I am not using the CPU at all.

No, stock is 1.35. It will do 3.5ghz on 1.35v but to get 3.6 it needs 1.4v. My chip is a bit crap. Forgot my phone is overclocked too (CPU by about 17%).

Battery last about an hour on that one? :P

That long? ;p It's fine when it idles though. It changes frequency to 158 mhz I think. I also have juice defender so it turns off mobile data when it's sleeping. That makes the battery last significantly longer. My next phone I hope to be atom based with a big battery, either that or iphone.

Why OC it if so drastically cuts into your battery life? :P [QUOTE="kraken2109"] No, stock is 1.35. It will do 3.5ghz on 1.35v but to get 3.6 it needs 1.4v. My chip is a bit crap. Forgot my phone is overclocked too (CPU by about 17%).

Oh. Guess intel really has lowered the stock voltage through the last two generations. Think mine defaults to 1.150 or so, perhaps going up to 1.170 or when using turbo mode.

lol when I went to the google i/o conference in 2010 they sent me a google droid before i even opened the browser oc'd to 1ghz from like 500mhz then they gave me an htc evo while I was there that was dhat oc'd to that too, from 1ghz to 1.2ghz

Luckily I have had no trouble cleaning mine... Well the radiator. Just go over it with canned air every 6 weeks or so. :P [QUOTE="JigglyWiggly_"][QUOTE="horgen123"]You two are the first ones I hear about OC'ing your phone. Damn!

Did they get unstable if you went higher, or to hot for you to hold?

Phone locks up have to hard reset it You can fine tune the voltage if the kernel supports it, or you can make your own kernel, but for a modification of voltage, I'd rather let another dev do that.

lol same here.. OC'd My galaxy s2 from 1.2ghz to 1.5ghz stable, and overclocked its gpu from 267mhz to 400mhz stable (also undervolted phone cpu/gpu to save battery and use custom ROM to get the best android experience)

I don't know why people obsess with undervolting the cpu. It barely makes any difference. The real battery drainer is the radio.

I sure don't, my case set up isn't good for exhausting heat. All the vents are blocked off and only 2 fans are installed. I could unblock the vents and add 3 more fans (which is what i had to do when I was still using my stock CPU heatsink), but I like the silence.

Fx6100 stock 3.3ghz overclocked @ 3.9ghz. IceQ 6870 GPUs overclocked slightly to 940mhz. The memory overclock is @ 1240. I use AMD overdrive to overclock my GPUs and my Bios to o/c my CPU.

CPU - C2D e8400 @ 4.5GHz GPU - GTX 560 Ti 2GB @ 1GHz Both are liquid cooled. I've benchmarked my C2D at 4.7GHz, but I'm not comfortable keeping the voltage over 1.6v. And I had my 560 Ti running at 1.1GHz, but then I decided to try several versions of Rivatuner at once (eVGA Precision, Asus GPU Tweak, and MSI Afterburner). When I increased the voltage with each program, the effects were cumulative. So my voltage went up by .15v three times instead of just once, and now the GPU isn't stable above 1025MHz, even though the temp maxes out at 45 degrees =\

Well, it depends on what you're doing really. If you surf the web, text, facebook, etc. alot, then the screen will pull the most power by far...

all radio when your phone is idled it's using very little power, if you disable the radio your phone will easily last several days.

all radio when your phone is idled it's using very little power, if you disable the radio your phone will easily last several days.

According to whichever android flavor my dad is using, his screen pulls more power than every other component combined. I'm not saying that you're wrong, because I don't know for sure. But I can listen to the radio all day no prob. If I do stuff that keeps the screen on for a long time though, the battery charge drops pretty quick. And I only make phone calls using the speakerphone, and the battery level has never dropped much after long calls.. Either way, y'all have me wanting to download a different flavor OS so I can monitor and tweak everything. Can you monitor the CPU and GPU temps?

[QUOTE="superclocked"]CPU - C2D e8400 @ 4.5GHz GPU - GTX 560 Ti 2GB @ 1GHz Both are liquid cooled. I've benchmarked my C2D at 4.7GHz, but I'm not comfortable keeping the voltage over 1.6v. And I had my 560 Ti running at 1.1GHz, but then I decided to try several versions of Rivatuner at once (eVGA Precision, Asus GPU Tweak, and MSI Afterburner). When I increased the voltage with each program, the effects were cumulative. So my voltage went up by .15v three times instead of just once, and now the GPU isn't stable above 1025MHz, even though the temp maxes out at 45 degrees =\

Hence the username "superclocked" .

[QUOTE="JigglyWiggly_"][QUOTE="superclocked"]Well, it depends on what you're doing really. If you surf the web, text, facebook, etc. alot, then the screen will pull the most power by far...superclocked

By 'radio' he means the phones connection rather than the radio you listen to.

i7 3930K is overclocked to 4.5ghz at 1.344v. I don't like overclocking graphics cards, it's just not as fun.

[QUOTE="LordRork"]

Just my processor. My GPU is capable of doing pretty much anything without an overclock (I did OC my previous CF setup, though).

How much? Do the first generation i-cores run at less than 3ghz on stock?[QUOTE="kraken2109"]955 @ 3.6ghz 1.4v Tried OC'ing the GPU, didn't really get anywhere

Isn't that voltage a bit high? Speaking of voltages, dunno what happened with mine after I updated the bios. I remember what I changed to get it running at 4.4. Did the same and it is stable at that, however now it seems to lower the voltage when I am using the CPU heavily and increase it to 1.280 when I am not using the CPU at all.

That's called Vdroop. It a safety measure to ensure your voltage doesn't go too high. I can't remember the details but I know it can usually be disabled in your BIOS. If you're overclock is stable with it enabled then it's best to leave it on, but you might get slightly better overclocks disabling it.

I5 @ 4.3ghz auto voltages, but never have seen it go above 1.27.. HIS Iceq x 7850 video card @ 1000//1250 (stock is 860//1200)..

I have an i7 930, stock is 2.8ghz. Mine's clocked to 3.6ghz.

Idle temp is a bit high at 40C, and it maxes out around 75C

(when I had a stock cooler with stock clocks the temp would hit 85C)

Yeah I have heard about that. But before it the CPU used to downclock itself to 1600 instead of running at full speed all the time. When it downclocked itself, the voltage was also lowered.
