Overclocked, see no difference

Well I overclocked my Intel Celeron E3200 from 2.40 to 2.78(i would overclock it more but it bluescreens at 2.80), i see no difference of the speed of my PC and sometimes it feels like it's going slower.

Because overclocking is a myth that pc enthusiats feeds to you and to each other that it actually affects your performance at night but when it in fact it does nearly nothing except for more points 3dmark which is a very big deal and you cannot ignore it. *sarcasm.

I never Overclock my CPU. I will if i encounter a bottleneck and cant afford a new one. but im really happy with my stock speed of 2.93ghz

Have you checked your volts on your PSU? I would not either see any difference with that cpu OC'd to be honest.

Most gains can only be seen when the OC is over 750MHz or more.

Most overclockers try to go for a 30-50% OC on their CPUs.

Actually not sarcasm. Over clocking really has never helped anything. Been there and done it. Can cause more problems than anything. If you want something faster buy something faster imho.

People worry too much with numbers and in real world they add up to nothing...I have a friend that goes nuts over 3Dmark. Alwayd upgrading and tweeking and never happy. I have not seen a difference in anything what so ever in the 10 years he's been messin with things..lol

ESPECIALLY with my i7 920.

I've been doing a lot of video editing and rending and OCing my CPU from it's 2.66GHz stock clock to around 3.6-3.8GHz has decreased my video rending times by 5-30 minutes depending on the length of the video.

I agree with Bigsteve.

I don't have a massive OC on my Phenom II x 4 940 (up to 3.45 from 3.0). But the overclock makes a world of difference in gaming. My stock 3DMark06 score is around 15k, with my OC it pushes things up to around 17k.

Also with my overclock I can run Crysis on all high settings (not ultra high and no AA/AF), whereas I could only make use of a 50/50 mix of medium and high settings on stock speeds.

I'd have to play a whole lot more with my PC to get a better OC, but I'm just fine with what I have....my current issue is that as far as I can tell, one of my 8800GTS 512 cards is crapping out on me. But that's a different matter....

Oh please, overclocking helps if you know what you're doing.

I mean saying OC'ing will not help, is basically the same as saying get the slowest speed CPU you can find, they all run the same regardless of speed. Now I know CPU speed is not everything, but it is still part of the equation and it can and does matter.

I recommend coughing up 80$ for a used 4870 or 9800gt that can really carry your pc to places. Depending on your resolution your going to use, the key thing is to get your frames out of the 50-60 fps threshold to guarantee smoothless, as long as the game is not a heavy cpu-hitter. Most games rely most your resource on gpu nowadays.

What? I'd say the opposite; cheaper processors have more of a performance impact when overclocked. I've overclocked a E2180 Celeron dual core to 3.4GHz, and the performance gain was much more noticeable than when I overclocked my E8400 from 3.0GHz to 4.0GHz+.

WTH???? Um, I guess celerons are OCable?? I just tried on my old Cel 1.8 and OC'd to 3.2 and its running??!?!??!? No BSD yet... WTH intel??!?!?!? I'll continue to test, but im slightly shocked right now...

slayerpker

this is actually quite well known among overclockers and pc-enthusiasts. in fact, not too long ago a world record was set on a celeron and semprons have had a good reputation for overclocking mighty far without much effort too.

as for the tc not seeing a performance gain, i guess that probably has a lot to do with what you expect and how you are measuring. in the latter case; not at all in any objective fashion as i understand.

EDIT: The Reason you're getting a BSOD is because it probably need more voltage, you need to test to see if your OC is stable.

Test with Prime95 and use real temp to watch your temps, anything above 65c is unsafe, at least on your celeron.

EDIT 2: " I just build a PC with an E3200 and easily had it at 2.9Ghz (12.5 x 232), and the vCore was at 1.28-1.29. I could have easily gone higher with the Zalman heatsink I used, but the owner of the PC lives in Japan, and I didn't want any chance of instability.

Bump your Northbridge a little, and make sure you aren't OCing your memory beyond its capability. CPUid is good for this. If it says your ram is @430, double it and that is your speed = 860. Make sure you have good ram. I had 4GB of G.Skill Pi @ 1000, and it was flying. Good luck."

Celery, nice word adaptation lol

Well, it's probably due to the fact that your cpu is really old and most of todays apps are multithreaded and as such make the most of multiple cores. You should run an actual benchmark to see if it's made a difference.
