Branjo Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 I always say im not going to Overclock new stuff, but im at it after a few hours anyway lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EllisD Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 I try to qualify it for the SSDB first and foremost, but with these new toys i just couldnt wait to ramp up the mhz so that went by the wayside. The first real rig i built is in the SSDB though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulktreg Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 When my PC performance needs to be a little higher and put off the day I need to spend money.  I'm a tight pig. Only joking.  Already spent some money getting it ready to overclock and had it running at 3.2MHz for a while but back to stock values now - no real need yet for that extra performance!    Regards  Paul Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest r3d c0m3t Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 I hit "Right off the bat" because I'm a geeky son-of-a-somebody, and I'm appalled at the very mention of running something at "stock" speeds. Â Stock. The other white meat. :shake: Â No, seriously I may have hit right off the bat, but I run everything through a myriad of torture programs before I OD on the OC.

old_geekster Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 I voted "Give it a few months". Of course, this is the first computer that I have ever OC'd. I wanted to make certain that I had done all of my homework first. I did, and it is still working. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightshadow Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 I'm with old geekster on this one. I have only overclocked a handfull of my various computers, but I read about how to do it, and test it all properly before I even started messing with it. I had to have read about it for at least a couple months before I began the OCing journey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfisher Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 I go at it right from the start, as long as I am sure I actually installed everything properly and the PC turns on. Then it's all or nothing, baby. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightwish68 Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 Almost right out of the box I look on the internet and at DIY what the could be possible with my hardware and than I OC my rig to a certain level and try to get it stable. After a while I try to get the max out of my system. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
catkicker Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 I like to run some stress test on the stock settings to make sure I'm starting my OC'ing with a stable rig. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubberDuck Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 I choose " right off the bat " but normally I let it run stock for at least 1 week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
likewhoa Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 i wish you would have let everyone see who voted so we can all kick on the butt who ever voted on the last option so hard that his/her nipples will blow up. i voted "right of the bat" because I don't like to waste time but I also make sure memory passes memtest86plus before anything.
