Gaijinchuugoku Posted July 19, 2002 Posted July 19, 2002 A person that I know claims to have oc'ed a P4 1.6 by 1.133 GHz, which is BS, but what is even more stupid is that he claims to have used the stock heatsink and fan. No extra cooling. He says "They're Intel chips. Go figure why I don't need extra cooling.". Someone explain this, I know he is full of BS, but I wanna hear someone back me up.

Bosco Posted July 19, 2002 Posted July 19, 2002 What 1.6 to 2.7????? If that is right don't say it is BS because it is possible, all depends on whats under the hood. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaijinchuugoku Posted July 19, 2002 Posted July 19, 2002 How is that possible on a stock heatsink and fan and no extra cooling The most I ever heard was up to 2.2 on a stock heatsink and fan. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inu_Yasha Posted July 19, 2002 Posted July 19, 2002 nope, depeneds really on where the processor was manufactured. If its a malasia make, i wouldn't doubt what your friend said. I've heard of ppl gettting to 2.4 on stock so getting 2.7 isn't that hard to believe. But then again, he could easily fry his chip with something as low as the stock hsf.

Bosco Posted July 19, 2002 Posted July 19, 2002 yup just depends on the board and how good the chip is. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inu_Yasha Posted July 19, 2002 Posted July 19, 2002 true, so true... what type of board did he use? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaTeD-R Posted July 19, 2002 Posted July 19, 2002 Buying a board from a reliable company will increase your overclocking potential. Even if you buy 10 of the same models from the same manufacturer you will not see the exact same results from each board. Some are just better than others, and all you can do is hope your one of the lucky ones. 1.6 to 2.7......niiiiiiice, some people run into problems going to 1.7!

Gaijinchuugoku Posted July 20, 2002 Posted July 20, 2002 I thought only northwood 1.6's could go that high. He definitely wasn't using a northwood. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psywar Posted July 20, 2002 Posted July 20, 2002 I can tell u this much.. Intels dont run that hot.. I mean they get hotter then normal when u overclock.. but there nothing like AMDs my stock heatsink.. which was an alum. heatsink no fan.. kept my proc.. 933 @ 1051mhz at 37 deg. celc.. no fan.. intels dont run too hot.. no artic silver.. it was some sort of thermal tape that was on there.. It was a whore to get off I can say that much.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
