Re: 2.0Ghz Celeron o'ced at 3.0Ghz! Reply #16 – April 04, 2005, 09:09:45 AM Exactly,but you know there are some morons out there you don't know what a joke is.And if you really want i'll overclock mine to 3.6ghz and eat your for lunch dipstick! Quote Selected
Re: 2.0Ghz Celeron o'ced at 3.0Ghz! Reply #17 – April 04, 2005, 09:15:07 AM So 3.6 GHz on a P4 or a Celeron is like, what, 1.2 GHz on a decent chip? :D Quote Selected

Re: 2.0Ghz Celeron o'ced at 3.0Ghz! Reply #22 – April 10, 2005, 09:44:08 PM quit using sisoft sandra when it said my k6-2 was as fast as Pentium 2's...synthetic benchmarks don't mean a thing to meNice overclock :D I don't have anything against either side and would love to get a P4 up to a high speed, mainly because the chipsets are so much better. If it wasn't for the fact that I've seen AMD systems running at just under 4GHz (along with a couple P4's around 5GHz), I'd go with Intel for my next system but we'll have to see. I can probably hold out for another system until next winterI hope*looks at his badly aged/poor overclocking 1700+* Quote Selected
Re: 2.0Ghz Celeron o'ced at 3.0Ghz! Reply #23 – April 10, 2005, 11:25:33 PM Yeah I don't know how true sandra is, It's a nice little program I would never buy it but for free its cool. Heat was a problem with my prescott, nothing a thermalright xp-90 h/s and 90mm fan couldn't fix. It runs around 39*c idle and 48*c load. The intel retail h/s and fan had me at 55*c idle and 69*C under load (little too hot :flame: )The heat sink looks cool as hell.. heres a pic from newegg.. Quote Selected
Re: 2.0Ghz Celeron o'ced at 3.0Ghz! Reply #24 – April 11, 2005, 12:46:06 AM yeah, I love Thermalright heatsinks (although never used one myself). Now I'm back to a barely over stock heatsink ever since my water pump started rattling annoyingly. With water, I was getting better temperatures under load than I was at idle on airevery time I'm encoding a video in virtualdub, I wish I had a P4 since they excel there compared to AMD's offerings...and I rarely game so that benefit for AMD is out the windowspeaking of which, I gotta get caught up on world's wildest police videos.

Re: 2.0Ghz Celeron o'ced at 3.0Ghz! Reply #26 – April 11, 2005, 11:41:07 AM Yeah, last I recall (I haven't benchmarked a system in probably close to two years now.. I stopped caring once I got this system built the way I wanted it) Sandra was about as credible on PC benchmarking as "i'm gay as hell" is on car stuff. :p Probably a good reason for the old saying, "Benchmarks lie and liars benchmark". Anyway, if you want a benchmark you can compare to other PC users, go to http://www.futuremark.com and get 3DMark05. With the ORB, you can publish your results online and compare it to the other guys.As for whether or not it could eat my AMDs for breakfast.. it probably would, but I'd still never own one. P4s are an insult to my intelligence. My XP2200+/R9700 Pro/gig of PC2100/280 gigs of HD space does everything I want/need it to.. and AMD didn't need to BS me to get me to buy one. :D Saying your P4 is faster than my AthlonXP is like saying you have a Camaro that could beat my T-bird.. while in this case true, I'd still react like "ewww, you drive a Chevy?!". :DI probably won't upgrade computers again for some time. There's just not much out there right now that requires more computing power than I have available. I lost the overclocking bug when I got sick of cutting half a dozen fan holes into my case just for a couple extra MHz, so I probably won't bother trying to overclock this. Probably just pick up a dual-core Athlon64/Opteron a couple years from now, or whatever else is available then, and continue the same "it's good enough" attitude for a few more years.Although, that mini-ITX stuff is starting to appeal to me.. making completely custom cases that often look nothing like PCs.. making truly QUIET computers.. hmmm..

Back when I had my first decent computer (went from a 486 DX4-100 to a K6-300 - top of the line at the time) I stuck a huge...well unsure what dimensions, was larger than 120mm...fan on the thing blowing right over the processor. Was extremely loud and used it up through my K6-2 400 and dual Celeron 366's (both of which sucked at overclocking, one ran 468MHz stable but no higher and the other only liked 541MHz with an exception when it was winter and I'd keep the window open - 550MHz!), where I finally got tired of it all and my Duron/XP systems afterwards were a lot more mild Quote Selected
Re: 2.0Ghz Celeron o'ced at 3.0Ghz! Reply #28 – April 11, 2005, 02:17:17 PM I was about to take a picture of what I consider the peak of my overclocking folly, but it seems my camera just ped out on me.Although this isn't what the picture was for, my best overclock was putting a P166MMX on one of the newer Super-7 boards with 100 MHz bus speed, and getting 2.5x100 out of it for awhile. (gotta love the elusive 50% overclock, whatever ya get it on) Probably could've kept it going, but at that point I really had no need for a 250 MHz PC. I think by then I had a Duron/1000 as my main PC.That also happened to be the last Intel CPU I owned. :D Quote Selected
Re: 2.0Ghz Celeron o'ced at 3.0Ghz! Reply #29 – April 11, 2005, 02:30:50 PM yeah, its weird. Years ago I went back and looked at my older systems. No idea what my 286 was but my 386. 486, K6, K6-2, Duron, and XP have all been AMD. The Celerons (which were the best processor at the moment, more so than the P2) were my only Intel processors but , long live the BX chipset! Those things were just bulletproof, and with Softmenu (well Abit's ripoff of the tech) becoming the new thing, and unofficial support of the BX running at 100MHz fsb, it just kicked ass Quote Selected
