Have you ever overclocked your computer? if so how far did you go and what type of cooling did you use?

there was a company that would sell you a P4 that was clocked to 5. something Ghz, they used an air condition system that was built into the computer, crazy

I clocked my comp, but only by 20%.. from 2.0 to 2.6 GHz... and believe it or not, I use box cooler, that shipped with the original 2.0 cpu
 Of course, the case stays open at all times, and two additional 80 mm fans are installed, one of them blowing on the heat sink, and one blowing under the hard drive... On 100% utilization, cpu temp doesn't go over 50 degrees Celsius...As for eXtreme clocking... ir rulez!  I enjoyed watching a movie where this guy, from Tom's Hardware Guide, clocked P4 to 5.2GHz, and cooled it with liquid nitrogen and chipset was cooled with some sort of compressor... and the cpu temp was about -190 degrees Celsius I just love this kind of things, i just wish I knew mora about hardware, so I could do some of that eXtreme stuff... |

ok thats not bad for a box cooler, i got mine from 2.0 to 2.9 with a thermaltake volcano 7, what are you running AMD or Intel? and i saw that on tomshardware too that was crazy, that would be cool to do if i wasnt affraid of turning my hands into glass :-) do you keep yours clocked that high Galahad or just once?

I'm using overclocking ram, they come with little fans built on them so they stay cool.

I overclocked 700 Mhz to 800 Mhz with just 1 fan... The result, the motherboard was damaged! Can't read my two memory. And, when I open my pc, I hear a siren!

QUOTE(finaldesign @ Feb 5 2005, 07:02 PM) do not overclock if you do not understand the risks.... That's why I have learned my lesson! I will never ever ever overclock unless I have many coolers!
