Overclocking
Jul. 18th, 2009 03:41 amSeeing as I have a Black Edition processor, I've started messing with overclocking it. It's 2.8GHz stock, but I've got it all the way up to roughly 3.125GHz with just the stock cooling. I'm going to push for 3.225GHz next. It seems to be a cool running processor (stock idle temps are in the 30-40C range), and the temperatures after a round of Team Fortress 2 were only like 45C, which is still pretty good. From what I've seen, the record for the processor is around 4GHz, so 3.2GHz should be easy.
The video card has been overclocked as well, but it came overclocked slightly, so it's less impressive.
