CPU-Z Validation, must at least be SuperPi 1M digit stable, preferably 100% rock solid.
I'll post mine when I update CPU-Z and finish my overclock. I'm currently at 4009Mhz rock solid.

mmm my pentium D820 is @ 3.3 right now...up from 2.8, and it loads @ 32-33C on water. hmmm....wonder if my board/cpu will go that far
well i've hit up to 4.2 but it wasn't stable, i think i was able to do some stuff at 4 or 4.1 though, will post results later, changing over to ssd.
I can get 4, but it's not stable, but that's REALLY far for a 720 on just water. Vcore is acceptable, but the PLL voltage is not.
Haha.. lets see if I can melt my P4. ;)
I only need to get another 800 mhz from it.. I'm at 3.2 right now.
Getting some friendly competition! That's what I like to see :D
This was my 820 on air a few years ago. Arctic 7 Pro + AS5 Silver = WIN.
I'm on a P4 3.0 now.. keep that in mind. ;)
Hahaha, my C2D doesn't even reach 2GHz stock.
well I swapped out my old d820 for a used d930 from Datech, its 3 stock, running @ 3.75 rock solid right now

TBH, I cant really recall what I did beyond that screen shot. That was in my first serious build, Karma, which ended up sold before completion. :(
I'll see if I can find more info on that for you.. I know that cooler on there was incredible.. that cpu hardly even got warm to the touch!
yea the 930 I'm running now is running cooler @ idle and under load than the 820 did, and its @ 3.75 rock solid. I cant go anything over or it wont boot or will partially boot then reboot or BSOD, so I think this is the limit for it
i've got my C2Q from 2.6 to 3.2 stable on air, I'm sure I've heard of people getting the C2Q 8400 over 4GHz,
If thats true i might invest in a better cooler and try to get that last 800MHz per core out, but I'm already running at a FSB of 399! on a P45 not sure how much further it can go!
575 or so.
I run 4.0 in daily life. BUT, I haven't been able to break that yet.
Do I get in?
Damn, I've got my 775 3.4ghz p4 at 3.8 with some crappy cooling. I should be able to push it above 4ghz with some better cooling!
Easily. My 6 or 7 year old 3.6Ghz P4 hit 4.0 without breaking a sweat and 4.2 on air...though I never watercooled it.:(
Still, that's only a 12%OC from 3.6 to 4.0. My q6600 @ 9x450 (4.05Ghz) was more impressive as a 68%OC...which is just filthy. It wasn't prime95 stable though, and was only a benchmark. Unfortunately, I can't prove any of this as the screenshots are on a WD raptor which lies somewhere in my freezer...likely covered in frost by now as I'd forgotten about it. So, unless I feel the urge to get off my butt and take my gpu out of the loop, or get a bigger radiator, or both:twisted:, I will have to watch this club from the outside.
Or if I swap in the OC'd P4, does that work? That wouldn't even be a challenge though...I'm sure that could hit 4.5 or so...:think:
New system to add to the club:

Just cause I did it the hard way, and HT on as well.
1.44V really? Seems like a lot.
I'm never going to make it here lol - my system refuses to O/C for some reason. Running a Q6700 on an MSI P45 Platinum mobo & TT Frio cooler - from what I've read, 3.0 should be a breeze, 3.4 utterly realistic and 3.7 is a 50/50. Best I can do is 2.75 and stock is 2.66 :s
it might be your memory. I can only get to 3.6 on my Q6600 and Asus P5E Deluxe. I need faster memory :)
I used a memory divider to clock it down to about 625 before raising the FSB - idn - not that bothered really - Quad 2.75 is more than enough for my day to day needs lol
it is high. quick and nasty to test the board, used 100% success settings.
I just wanted to post my latest attempt. This was on water with a Danger Den MC-TDX multicore block and Black Ice SR1 240 Radiator. I upped the multiplier to 20.5 and upped the Vcore to 1.550v. The results were a 4.11GHz overclock which proved stable after a 30 minute OCCT 100% load with a 57.8c max temperature.
I got the 2.75 with just an increase in the FSB - any more and it won't play ball. I tried using a memory divider to clock the memory way down just to see what the CPU would do and then started bumping the FSB again - wouldnt post after that - course, I am an utter newb at anything like this. I tend to just buy something faster when what I have doesn't do the job but having checked around I've come to the conclusion that any increase in performance would be awful value for money over the 6700 on 775
Yeah, you're not going to get a much better processor than that for the socket, and it's still a (very) good CPU.
Having said that, it could well enter i7 territory with a decent overclock. Read up on some reviews for the motherboard that include overclocking sections, and some general lga 775 overclocking guides. Make sure there's nothing silly you're missing (e.g. locked pci-e, accidentally lowered voltage, setting fsb higher than you intended to, not enabling some sort of "OC mode").
On my P43 asrock board, no overclocking was possible at all unless the RAM was set to a lower speed than the FSB. E.g. DDR2 1066 ram must be set to DDR2 667 to overclock an 800FSB CPU. These are the kinds of odd quirks that boards can have.
So, don't get reckless of course, but don't give up on that OC :P
If all else fails, RMA board :D
This pc was cutting edge when I built it. Warranties are long gone I expect lol.
would it be cheating if i bought an amd phenomII 970 since its clocked @ 3.5ghz ?
Not really. 4 is still 4, you know. It's just those of us that start at 2.8 have further to go.
or me @ 2.4 :D I'm @ 3.6 now, just 400MHz to go!! need better RAM first though :facepalm:
I've come to the conclusion that it isn't going to happen because 1) I don't know enough and 2) I don't really care lol
I can adjust the CPU FSB up no problem, then set a memory divider to keep the Ram below 800, but when the puter tries to boot, it ignores the divider (or seems to) and tries to run the budget 800Mhz OCZ ddr2 at 960 (I think)
Sod it :p 4x 2.75Ghz is as much as I need anyway :p
Certain dividers are problematic as well, but I think you're experiencing an FSB hole. Try going as much as 5 or 10 steps beyond, with appropriate voltages and settings, and see how it turns out.
Also, you can look at other people with your boards, get their settings, and see how they differ.
Kayin gives sound advise, but if it really is trying to run the RAM at those speeds, you've got the settings wrong :P
And with a 4x2.75 is all I need attitude, you might as well have gotten a far cheaper (at the time) Q6600 :P
P.S. I don't think this is the cause of your problems, but "budget OCZ" RAM was a bad idea :P
