Overclocking PC stuff
Just started mucking about with my new motherboard and old 2.8ghz Pentium D... And it turns out that without even trying very hard, it clocks to 3500mhz! Quite surprised there, it's still only hitting 53 degrees even under torture testing, and it's totally stable. Overclocking rules! Free power... When I got that processor, a 3.4 was £200 more, and it bnches faster than a 3400 at stock clocks.
Or, am I just getting geekier?

From what i remember, the older pentiums were sometimes the same chip clocked differently. It saved them changing the manufactuing line over. So if you were lucky, you'd get a better processor clocked down.

A mate of mine used to score eBay looking for special numbers demarcating these under marked chips. At one point they were flogging the test runs of 64bit chips as 32bit chips, knowing that the 64bit chip can emulate... (Also, do i not remember you have top of the line cooling apps? and really good thermal grease and things.) How sad. I can remember what's in Northwind's desktop, and not remember amino acid structures, or various other biology stuff that make me look like a muppet. Come on Philip... Glycine??? Non polar! Stable! *sigh*. ****. |
