Don't stop Stida, try SetFSB.

Great to see new people liking the oc-scene. Please, oh please, don't stop overclocking when this contest ends :D

I wasn't thinking of stopping yet :o

@Massman: I don't have enough money to spend on new hardware, but maybe I'll go the cheap oc style like piotke

Btw, no OC'ing today because it's my birthday:partysmilie:

congratz !:nana: :nana: :cheer:

:o ohw so happy b-day to u :D:D hehe

Thank you very much.
My birthday gifts to myself:
-Another 3d mark score
-A temporary drivers license :naughty:

3.2Ghz worked now (400*8)
I gave it 1.4125 vcore and it did what it had to do (kind of... but I'll explain that later) I also changed the fan configuration a bit (geoffry said something about cooling the northbridge may be getting hot, so I had some testing to do)
during the previous benches, I laid the 'exhaust fan' (the black box above the gfx card on the pictures) on the cpu heatsink, blowing some air to the northbridge. Today I did some testing with my fans, and I noticed it doesn't moves that much air. --> 2 fans vertically on the heatsink and the exhaust fan, so they blew fresh air to the mosfets, northbridge and gfx card.

The result(s):

First run:

hmm, not that much marks as I hoped it would be, especially when you look to the previous results....

second run (I changed the GPUcore to 860 Mhz, GPUmem to 1200Mhz using rivatuner)

Notice that GPU-Z doesn't detect the correct speeds (or arent the speeds set when I don't restart???)

And for today the (last) runs:

3D mark


Spi:


Booted @ 410*8 1.4v in bios (I want to keep it safe because I still need this pc for school) than I used setFSB to raise the FSB to 425Mhz (430 didn't work, and I don't have enough time to test FSB's between 425 and 430, or higher vcores)

For tomorrow: I won't be able to continue, since I'm coming home around 10 pm, and I've got to get up around 7 am the next morning.

Good luck too all the others for the last day!!

Nice results for a B3 on air!

I think I could have done better, with a non-for-normal-use setup ;-)

In fact, I did learn quite a lot about overclocking during this contest :)

great so why stop here ? :)
