“How to Overclock”: Pinoys Most Searched

mga kua para sakin…tama c @katsune..kc i was just a 15 y/o kid and mahilig ako sa overclocking nag search lng ako ng nag search…about overclocking my amd athlon 64 3000+ Processor..1.8Ghz stock now. at 2.0Ghz kahit maliit lng ung nadagdag…ang problem is.. ung memory..ndi overclocking memory ang gamit ko…my feeling was great kc ngaun ko lng nalaman..may ganun pla akung talent…

guyz im in the second type too,..
i have amd sempron 2.1ghz, to 2.9ghz..
temp: idle 17c max load 37c

^_^ ok ba? (5 80 mm case fan and 1 92mm casefan)

most people do overclocking kase nakakaramdam sila ng challenge sa sarili nila,..

ung iban naman dahil lang sa pangagailangan ng precise speed,…

sigh..

one thing that i cant figure out right now is the effectiveness ng ram ratio, they say 1:1 is the best set up…

ngek.
syempre, i-g-google na tuloy namin lalo yan! hehe

Tried to overclock my very first cpu but chickened out because it was the only PC in the house at that time! ;)

Overclocking is certainly not for newbies. You can totally damage a CPU if you don’t know what you’re doing. I haven’t dared OCing my old dual core chip yet, mahirap na wala pa naman budget pamalit, hehe.

Oopss typo… I mean pass prime95 torture test. Hehehe. Need to get some sleep…..

I’m a gamer so I fall into the 2nd type. Every year I buy a new CPU and, in the past couple of years, new video cards every 6-8 months. Sometimes this forces me to buy a new mobo and entire platform. So I might as well spend a bit of extra time getting my FPS up with OCing my CPU, video and ram.

There are two problems with this here:

1) Overclocking parts (liquid or even just decent air coolers) are hard or impossible to find. Forget about find mosfet coolers and the like.

2) Everything is darned expensive compared to our neighbors Singapore and HK.

My solution is I don’t buy local, sincei can;t even get many of the parts locally. Its too bad, they need to fix this as I spend a ton of money on computer parts and buy 90% of my computing hobby outside the Philippines.

Between GMA’s VAT, a stranglehold on certain brands by distributors (meaning price fixing at the retail level). Over aggressive “crackdowns” on so called smuggling. Ridiculous return policies and broken components exchange policies. I mean, when I put together a computer, I need time to put it together and discover if everything works. I do have a real job. Most stores give 7 days! Some go 30 days but with such ridiculous terms that they call everything user damage and refuse to exchange!

Given that, I would rather buy outside and I do. Heck I had a bad video card 4 months after I bought it from a retailer I frequently buy from in Sim Lim and they accepted it back via DHL and sent me a working one.

i believe i’m part of the first group. i have my very cheap cheap processor which i bought 2nd hand for 1k (pentium dual core e2140) running at more than twice its stock speed permanently(from 1.6ghz to 3.4ghz). my motherboard is kinda high-end/enthusiast level but i also bought it 2nd hand.

the reason i’m doing this is so that i can eliminate bottlenecks with my graphics card while playing games. when i replaced my old video card with a more expensive one, konti lang nakita kong improvement although more than twice yung price nung bago kung card…after overclocking ayun pwede na maglaro at very high settings. this way i can concentrate on upgrading my gpu instead of buying faster CPUs. you cant gain any significant performance when you try to overclock a cheap gpu unlike a CPU.

my processor has already lasted a year at this state, kung masira man ito due to this abuse ok lang siguro sulit na sulit na yung 1k for 1 year’s worth of use & abuse hehe

comment ba ako??? bIRTHDAY KO..

i overclock my cpu just for fun… I even overclock my laptop’s video memory so that it will be abit faster… but i am not cheap but i admit i am practical. Yeah i may have a Blue h1 umpc which is CHEAP but its the practical choice compared to other 7″inch netbooks.

and let’s be honest guys… with the economic crisis and series of layoffs and inflation? who would be stupid enough to buy a highend stuff and burn money. We always have this mindset before we enter into a decision to buy a thing that whether it is a “bang for a buck” or not.

I say lucky for those who can still burn money despite the crisis we’re in, and lucky for those who are pennypinchers that buy cheaper and lower-rated CPUs so they can overclock them and save some dough for other PC parts.

i didnt even know “overclocking” as a word.. but then again, maybe it’s tech geek speak.

I’m part of the first group, was still in school and I could not afford to upgrade, so a little overclocking helped out to get a little bit more juice.

But careful and practical enough not to require an additional cooling source as well as destroy the cpu.

A bit of a challenge back then but I would also agree that it was fulfilling to have done it.

uu nga kelan to?hehe

gotta save..

if overclocking’s ur game..
gotta consider some of these..

>CPU Cooling and Ventilation
>Power Supply

Oh pahabol, when does this air? Para aabangan kita sa tv. Haha. :D
