My overclocked e8400 and voltmodded 8800's smoke a system with an i7 and GTX 295 in benchmarks. The results speak for themselves...superclocked

Only crazy people don't overclock, manufacturers deliberately underclock chips to increase stability on a mass produced product. Most CPU's can be oc'ed very comfortably indeed

Hi , im kinda bored so i decided to make a simple thread to know , Who is a overclock addict ?

One of the reasons im doing this is to know if people overclock for performance or just for the sake of it ..

People have said to me in forums : "OMG you should OverClock your rig SERIOUSLY caus its so lame if you dont"

My response to that is "How the hell would you know if i need a overclock.What if im fine with my performance ? I dont feel like shortening my cpu life span and buy a new cpu cooler when i dont really need it.."

If im totally wrong , please tell ..Im just new at all this so it gets confusing from time to time..

So , ARE YOU AN OVERCLOCK ADDICT ?8)

Nah, they can be released by different companies. In fact, with ATI, the cards can be completely different models ;)superclocked

erhhmm , idk if its dumb to ask this but here goes ...:roll:

If i would crossfire my HD 4890 from Powercoler .. For my second card , does it have to be from powercolor aswell ?

( took 4890 as an example , same question applies for other cards)

Basicly im asking if the 2 cards MUST be from same company brand in order to SLI/Crossfire ?

Over priced, not worth it with the 5850 already at sub $300 prices.nmaharg
