Is anyone running 50% overclocks anymore?

[AdamK47]

Back in the day of the Celeron 300A, Celeron 366, and the prized and rare P2 300 that made it to 504MHz, 50% overclocks were very common. Now it seems that people are hitting only a 33% overclock on average now. So, who here runs there CPU at or past 50% of the rated clock speed?

 

[Mikewarrior2]

well, it certainly seems that you are .

I've got my 650E @ 982, for a 51% overclock.

Well my 650 runs at 988. Well, I need to see for how long it will be stable.

At the moment, my P3 500E FCPGA is running at 166mhz FSB in a CUSL2-C for a speed of ~833mhz. It is running at default voltage. (1.6v) After a few days of Prime95, the CPU temp peaks at ~42C. It's a nice chip - 66% overclock. I wish I could take the FSB higher with the CUSL2-C without decreasing the memory speed. IIRC, I have had it up to ~175 FSB with 1.65v, but something else didn't like it. It runs faster at 166/166 anyway.

56.36% baby !!!

 

[Spoooon]

46.7 percent overclock right here. My highest overclock so far was at 864, but it's not quite stable. Not without a major voltage increase and scary temps.

With the peltier my 700e runs @1085mhz like a kitten. 55% overclock

My brother has my old 550e at 825 MHz / 150 fsb at 1.75V and i have a 650e which can run at 975 MHZ / 150 fsb, but my memory is pc 133 cas 3 (according to specs and scisoft sandra, although it does cas 2 at 140 fsb) and i realised that the memory bandwidth is then lower than at fsb 140 and cas 2 so untill i can get some cas 2 memory i am back at 910.

Retail Celeron II 600 @ 900/1.7 volts. It does 1008 @ 1.75 volts - I can loop 3DMark2000 a few times, but the heat is too much in my little Inwin case. I want to keep this CPU for a while. That's 50% everyday and 68% for benchmarking (hehehehehe).

 

[Dark4ng3l]

well look at it this way. On celeron 300 50% is 150 mhz. on a p3 650 50% is 325 MHz. I think that just the difference in base clock speed is what limits the o/c. Old 286's culd do 100% o/c with good cooling.

 

[celery550]

600 @ 1000

60%

 

[jsbush]

Soon to be a 600 duron at a 1000 once I get my PAL.
Had a celeron 566 @ 850 would post at 977 and would be stable at 935 except for UT.

 

[coolnicklee]

CEL 566 @875 so that is about 54.6%
I am happy wiht it..

 

[pandaflux]

I've got my CeleronII 533A @ 896.
A 68% overclock. Very pleasing.

My 83.833% is good for me (600@1103) But i usually run it at 1051 which is faster due to FSB stuff. Thats 75.166%.

 

[Mister T]

Athlon 750 @ 1060 Mhz.

41%

 

[EY2K]

retail Duron 600 @ 1008 MHz at 1.85 volts
67% overclock, runs stably at 1030 MHz in Windows but not in 3D-stuff

 

[bonkers325]

700@1.1ghz
finally air cooled gotta love cc0

 

[err]

My P3 550 is running @ 825 Mhz - 50% increase
P3 700E @ 1050 Mhz - 50% increase
Celery 566 @ 875 Mhz - 54.6% increase
Duron 600 @ 975 Mhz - 62.5% Increase

So, your answer is YES ...

eRr

 

[peemo]

15%

cA2 :disgust:

celery550, 600 @ 1000 = 66.7% no?

566@876

 

[heng1028]

CEL 566 @875 here as well
