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 :)
2600k @ 4.6ghz at 1.48v gtx 670 from 1084 to 1200 core vram from 6ghz to 6.9ghz
flashed this bios for 1.21v

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 =/
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.
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 > : |
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.

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%).

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.
You two are the first ones I hear about OC'ing your phone. Damn! [QUOTE="JigglyWiggly_"] That long? ;p It's fine when it idles though. It changes frequency to 158 mhz I think.

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.

Got my 940BE Phenom X4 to 3.8Ghz and had it there for a few months, CPU fan is hard to clean the dust though so I have had to knock it down a bit.V4LENT1NE
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!

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.

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 =\

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?

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.

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.
