3GHz on air?

[cfrage]

Just sittin here at work trying to decide if I want to go for 3GHz when I get home... Of course, I know I gotta try, but what do you think my chances are? Maybe if I loosin up the memory timings and up the Vcore/chipset/ram just a bit... hmm, maybe I should wait til I get my new HS/F next week.... naaa!

Slim to none on air...I don't think anyone has managed it even on water.

LOL! Not gonna happen, but good luck anyway

Ohwell, one can dream.... or burn up his CPU tryin to make that dream come true!

most likely not. they just aren't made for 66% OCs For a 3000 venice, 2.7 is a damn good OC.

2.7 right now on a 3000+

Best I have seen from A64 is 3.1 gig on air

Not likely to happen, but here is my 3000+ venice on vapo.

I suppose its possible if you find some way to chill the air to like 0 degrees C. Its possible if you make a vent from the outside, in the winter when its really cold, and hook it up to the main fan so that it draws in cold air. And then you would need some way to take the warm air out of the system, probably with a few more fans and direct it outside somewhere else.

Soccerman; Funny you should say that... Back when I had my Slot A Athlon 500MHz in dead winter I opened my window, had a box fan blowing into my open case and clocked that sucker up to 950MHz. I ran it at 800MHz 24/7 with a flex pipe taped to my AC vent in my room running to the front of my case connected with yet more duct tape Ahh the good ole days...

My old K6-2 350MHz didn't overclock quite as well. 400MHz was the max on that dud.

My 3000+ Venice gets up to 2.9Ghz on air (retail HSF). I haven't tried to push it any further and might be able to reach 3.0Ghz with the right voltage bump and settings, but I doubt I could get it prime95 stable if that.

Some of the processors are cherries, some aren't. Anyone who asks "what kind of overclock can I expect?" needs to not get their hopes up. The only clock speed you can expect to hit with reliability is the stock one .

I don't think ultra-cooling is as important nowadays since feature size is shrinking. It seems to me you can't overcome a silicon impurity as easily when gate width starts getting measured in atoms.

Why would Unreal Tournament 2007 come out in 2005?

 

[DidlySquat]

not sure but that's what that idiot said

I have a AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Processor (Venice) @ 2.7 GHz, stock air; 1.55V. Is 3 GHz possible? Maybe. Others have done it. But it is not likely. How stable it would be is another matter entirely.
