POLL: Do you run stock or do you Overclock?

[John]

XP1800+ 1.53GHz @ 2.3GHz

 

[Corporate Thug]

overclock in sig

 

[Chaotic42]

No, I don't overclock. It's a neat idea, but I have an overclocking curse.

 

[sharkeeper]

Nope. It's scheduled to be banned soon worldwide!

-DAK-

 

[OverVolt]

Uhh, One OC'ed Rig and one Stock rig, which do i choose?

Had to go with the Oc'in crew !

 

[Niege]

Yep..... Thunderbird 1.2 @ 1.35 (fast as the FSB will go, sigh)

 

[rivan]

I run stock.

Back before I was married I had a whole lot more free time to read up on things and fiddle with tweaking for a 5% improvement here and there - sadly those days are gone Now my spare time's spent painting :|

 

[pillage2001]

Overclock.

 

[Texun]

Nope. I've tinkered with it, but I don't play games enough to make it worthwhile. Once I find something that I can't do well enough with an XP2400 and 1 gig of memory I will have probably moved on to something else anyway. For me, speed counts in boot and load times. I hate even the slightest delay when opening or changing windows.

WHat is the results supposed to be in the poll? Yes and No makes sense but wth is results supposed to be an answer for?
Person A: Do you overclock?
Person B: I results of course.
Person C: Agabooga is the greatest.

 

[Spicedaddy]

Yes, I overclock because it is risk-free.

 

[naddicott]

1.6A @ ~2.2 on a system nearing it's first birthday without having encountered any problems. Just do proper stability testing (memtest, prime95, etc.) if you overclock and keep an eye on temperatures. Not that stability testing a non-overclocked system isn't worth doing for peace of mind as well.

I wouldn't hesitate to try a couple extra hundred Mhz with the latest batch of P4s, not because you need extra performance at those levels, but because you can do it and do it safely.

 

[Sid59]

no OC .. but if i could, i would.

 

[XBoxLPU]

XP 1700 Tbred B @ 2.23 ghz
ATI 9700 Pro at stock

 

[BFG10K]

I don't usually overclock unless I'm testing something.

 

[Actaeon]

Overclocker here...

 

[holdencommodore]

Overclocker here.... been overclocking since my K6 233 @ 260MHz

Cheers

 

[grrl]

No, but maybe someday.

 

[Megatomic]

Yep, I overclock, but I am not extreme about it. I run my Barton 2500+ @ 2800+ at the stock FSB. I can do more (I have had this chip to almost 3400+ speeds but 2800+ is fast enough for me right now. All my games fly.

 

[Don66]

I can't refuse a 50% O/C
P4 2.0a @ 3.0GHz
Default voltage :beer:

by that time, overclocking a 2100+ wont help.

 

[optimistic]

I run overstock.

 

[OneOfTheseDays]

I always try to get the best bang for my buck, so I definitely overclock. Running my 2.4GHZ P4 @ 3.15 GHZ and my video card is slightly oced as well.

 

[Vonkhan]

Not OC-ing is like buying a Ferrari and then driving it @ 35mph

 

[shootinyou]

yep me too
