Or is there a point to this thread?
simply put: it's a hobby.RegisteredToPost said:It's not like you'll see huge insane performance benefits from the extra 200 mhz you'll get from overclocking.
If you're buying in the top 75%, overclocking won't give you a huge boost in performance to begin with, and by the end of your processor's life cycle, it won't put you up to 'modern' standards anyway. So what the fuck is the point?
If you want to waste your time tweaking FSB/RAM latency settings and worrying about instability, go for it.
I attempted overclocking my opteron, I set it back to default settings because of instability. My hl2 server started hard crashing....more than once. Resetting settings to default fixed the problems. meh... Just my thoughts

I think benchmarks are better this way however. hl2 server is no longer crashing, and all is stable. Primed for about 4 hours called it good.

8-10 frames is pretty significant when you are running at 50-60fps. 15-20% increase.RegisteredToPost said:Put all your fancy pants benchmarks aside. This would equal out to maybe 8-10 frames per second in x.x.x game title?
Exactly! .... thank youFawkes said:Actually thats a pretty decent increase...
1.4ghz AthlonXP... thats what a 1700+? now the 3200+ ran about 2.2 take off 200+ and id say hes got an easy 3100+ speed rating there. pretty decent speed boost. esp with that higher FSB.
The 6800 unlocks...
Not a massive increase but a noticeable increase in performance.
Thats a big performance increase over all with little pay out.
