Hey guys, give me some links or books with valid research on overclocking, the parameters, stuff about voltages, cooling solutions. I can't use your guys it must be valid and authentic documented by some idiot who has a PHD and probably dont know anything. -.- Any help would be nice guys ^.^ I know a lot about overclocking already, its nothing new to me i just need sources to say, hey look teach. i did something instead of post on hardforum all day.
 
the guide in the AMD forum seems good enough ;)

seriously, there aren't much books on this topic, because, well, technology is moving faster than ever so making a book on ocing would be useless, say 3 months later when a new platform strikes or something similar.

Your official source can be forums, and people with their overclocks. There can't be something as an ultimatum on overclocking as different systems run better with different options, etc..
 
I could see it now... "And, furthermore, 'Nipplyfarmergoat' posted his results, which were over 50% better than a processor at twice the price."

Seriously though, good topic. I agree that it will be hard to find info... Check wikipedia, alot of the entries are crap, but there might be some really good links in there.

Otherwise.... No idea. Try finding the history of it... Who the hell thought to do it in the first place? And you could get info on processor yields, etc from manufacturers, I bet... That would be good info to throw in there on the comparison of 'a 3500+ is just an underclocked 3800+ that didn't make the grade', so to speak....

Good luck!
 
I'd think some well known websites would be fine. Try google for some overclocking guides.
 
Corey, Mrs.Punter is going to fucking kill you. She hate's pc's. I was going to do my speech on building a pc but she wouldnt' let me.
 
haha I was in the same situation.

"According to extra[H]ard, Intel's 10 GHz sprint failed at the 90nm transition..."

I cited sites (arstechnica, digit-life, xbitlabs, and anandtech were big ones, they go pretty indepth on this stuff) and white papers, everything else, I considered it just personal knowledge. I had plenty of real sources, so every once in a while I would just throw something in without citing a source.

Go look for books on computer history, you can surely include that stuff...

oh..and sorry to all you guys who I didn't cite :p
 
Sounds like a "do my homework" thread.

Here's some free tips:

1) overclocking was started by a farmer in Idaho in 1948 when he found out he could advance the timing on his tractor's engine. His name was Phil Orange.

2) You can actually tune the operating speeds of the various components of a motherboard by listening to the sounds that the various operative processing units emanate... just it's really high pitched so you'll need converters.

Wow. Is #1 true? Sure as hell sounds like it.

Otherwise, #2 makes sense, although I never really thought about it like that!

You either know your stuff, or you are quite adept at pulling stuff out of the deepest bowls of your behind. :D
 
This is a terrible topic for a speech. Seriously, look elsewhere.
 
This could be a terrible speech if you are going to talk about voltages in depth, or anything like that. Unless it is a demonstrative speech. Otherwise, keep it to stuff like culture (eg, the similarities with the automobile's gearheads) or reasons why it is done, etc. Too much tech will bore your audience (including your teacher.
 
Exactly, why I said Mrs.Punter wouldn't let me do my speech on building on a computer. Just find something else.
 
naw im doing a info on the "art of overclocking" Like why, how many people do it, is it gonna hit mainstream, precautions, cooling, case modification, real general. i will talk about like upping the voltage to make the computer run faster, but no specifics .

:D LOL

Too funny.
I agree with taqueso........you may want to stay away of the "how's" of it, and stick to the "why's".

I was kidding. Not interested in doing someone else's homework.
