Sounds rawr! to reach 4ghz on stock cooler

they did this with the e6700 at launch (ok it cost about£350 at the time) and many others. The C2Ds have always overclocked pretty well.
Btw im sure he said he tried more efficient air cooling to get it to 4ghz

How many people actually overclock their cpus as soon as they get them and thus void the warranty anyway? (although that being said its probably very hard to prove unless you completly melt the fucker or soemthing stupid). I guess theres a few.

Any CPU ever made, pot luck!

Oh, he tried more efficient air cooling, ah well

Well anyways, 2.53ghz to 3.8ghz on stock cooler, impressive nonetheless

Well you may overclock it if you like doing it or if you want to save money

I overclocked my earlier computer before this C2D beast from 1.8ghz to 2.4ghz, not that much, but I saved a few quid by doing it since I was short on cash

All bow before my 3GHz 1700+.

Every CPU I buy gets overclocked the second time it's booted. It's just a waste leaving a modern CPU, especially a C2D, at stock. 1.8 to 3.4Ghz for free.

Unless you put a seriously stupid amount of volts through a CPU there's no way to tell it's been overclocked.

Ahh the days of pumping 2.5v into the 1700+ and 4v into a couple sticks of BH5.

I miss them so. :<

Considering the world record is 3.2GHz overclocking that, I doubt it. :P

Prommi cooled, it was SuperPi stable but fell over with anything more intensive.

I should have pics lying about somewhere but christ knows where they are.

I also have some Patriot PC3200 RAM that'll run a 300MHz FSB, shame it'll be useless with an upgrade. :<

Well it's impressive. All I really do is overclock my Athlon 5200+ to 2.9-3.0GHz, saves having to buy a 5800/6000+.

My computer works.
