4207.96mhz Overclock

[mryoshi]

It was stable enough to surf around and run basic stuff, but it wouldn't run 3Dmark etc... I had it running for over 30 minutes at that speed. I tried pushing it up another 100mhz but it really crapped out there. It did run 3d mark over and over at 3933 without issue. Yes this was a liquid Nitrogen job.
Here is the story we posted.

I also have started a forum on my site for it.

:drool:
I want that!
But LN2 ocs dont really count- I want to see day to day oc's
BTW this should be posted in Intel CPUs or General discussion- not casemodding.

[The Spyder]

WOW....... exclent OC there, but, where some pics :D

[mdcomp]

Thats quite amazing. What you got in that rig of yours?

[kaltag]

that's a nifty OC you got and am i to understand you are THE yoshi from the show?

[mdcomp]

I beleive thats him. Thats the impression I was under.
:D

[mryoshi]

Yeah Im the Yoshi from TSS. It was a 3.06 P4, Asus P4B533-V, Corsair XMS3200 512MB, Ti4200.

[mdcomp]

Good choice of parts, Corsair ram is very high quality. Lets see some screenies!

[mryoshi]

Thats the only pic I have right now (except for the captures of each succesive increase). You can see em on the capture I posted on the desktop. Pat took some pics of the system, i will post them when he sends them to me. Completely iced up...really funny. Have video of me standing next to monitor at 4116 before camera crew left. They will dig it for me on monday and I will post link to it then.

[AmigoThree]

It's my hero!

Nice work man, I was watching.

[AmigoThree]

Well it can go into alternative modding because they did have to mod the HS...

[kaltag]

so we now have a famous person here! yay!!! glad to see ya here man. won't say much more than that since you probably get alot of deranged fans and stalkers. :)

[xvi3tsoljahx]

thats pretty nut's... so thats actually your compter... I'll be lucky if i can get 2ghz out of my cpu.

[Starfoxer]

wow yoshi, damn nice work. i'd end up with a frosty hand (and what ever else i spilled it on) if i used LN2 so i'd stay away from that. :p

[FunkDaMonkMan]

Good Work!

Do you currently hold the record (for an individual)?

[Tbird man]

Nice to see someone from TSS here, welcome. Figures Yoshi would comehere. He's one of us. I don't know pat much, but i get the impression he isn't as much into the OC/Modding thing. Not to say i think he isn't cool and all, just that i don't see him sitting up late trying to get a side window just right. good work Yoshi, now we gotta try 4ghz on Phase Change. I just wish AMD would get their bugs worked out, their gettin left behind.

[[OC]Lucifer]

No offense man, youre a nice guy and all it seems, its just IMHO LN2 clocks dont count.

[Cullam3n]

Why not? And going by that logic, would clock speeds with a Prometia not count either?

-PC

[Toysrme]

4200 mhz that's great.

The problem is that most of us don't really care. I mean the hardest part of the entire thing is getting ahold of the L2N.
What good is it anyways? You can run it for long, besides. In a year we can buy that anyways...

I know I speak for more than myself when I say
"I really could care less." I mean you've proven a PIV can run at 4.2 ghz... I had no doubt in my mind it would anyways...

-Toysrme

btw welcome to the forums and we love TSS!

[TerroH8er]

lol cooooool... too bad I don't get TechTV in my area though.

anyway, nice overclock. what were the rest of the system specs? Is this the highest anyones gotten a P4? The highest i've sen is someone from Intel got their 2.8ghz (i think it was) up to 4.1ghz stable, but I never heard of anything higher.

Anyway, I can't wait to see how high you can get that with a Prometeia!

Why not? And going by that logic, would clock speeds with a Prometia not count either?

-PC


What he means is that LN2 is only temporary. You realistically can't run LN2 on a daily basis. I'm not sure if it's similair on P4s, but on Athlons if you run it too cold you will lose the L2 cache. On a Prometeia the temps don't get that extreme, but still pretty cold nonetheless.

Terro

[Samoyed]

I'm surprised the CPU didnt crack.

I would expect a CPU cooled with Liq Nitrogen to run even faster but I guess the internal architecture of the CPU causes data errors at those speeds.

[CrystalMethod]

Sweet OC guy. LN2 is pretty extreme for my taste, but it's always cool when someone gets their hands on the stuff, and isn't afraid to try it.
BTW, Welcome to the forums! I hope you keep comming back.

[SlackerTK421]

JC Viggen did that with Prometeia. It wasn't stable enough to run 3dmark but still..

http://users.pandora.be/JCviggen/4.24.JPG

I think he did 3dmark @ 4.1 solid though. I'll dig through the forums later and find it.

For the simple fact it's only good for a short run. Yes Prometia counts cause you run it at the same speed everyday, allday.

[Punkmasterflick]

Awesome overclock! You should try overclocking that 9700pro and getting us some benchies! Or just benchies :D

[DaveSauce]

Depends on what you mean by valid overclock. LN2 can show how high a chip can go. You can't overclock every day with it, but that doesnt make it any less of an accomplishment. Its not easy to set up an LN2 overclock....and just because you can LN2 the CPU doesnt mean that everything else will like the overclock.

btw, love the show...heh.

[illwillchill]

LOL i just noticed that this post was moved from the Alternative Mod board! Great work yoshi keep it up, you really should get more on air time

[mr1337pants]

Too late, the Japanese are up to 6GHz :D

JK, nice job, makes my Athlon XP kinda....well sad...

[Cullam3n]

Oh ok. Thanks for everyone clearing that up for me.

Anyway, that's a nice overclock! Now if we can that on our Athlons...

-PC

[Maximus Nickus]

A Valid overclock is a STABLE overclock.

Whether it is temporary or not it is VALID overclock nevertheless.
An invalid overclock would either be an unstable system or a fraud overclock.

This overclock is VALID.

Nuff said,

[Lazlo Panaflex]

Good work Yoshi i love the show :)

[[OC]Lucifer]

Im not going to argue this because it would involve bashing someone which is against both my ethics and the ethics of this forum. that said, I would revise my statement to "No Comment."

[AC Slater]

Pretty impressive o/c, even with LN2. I wonder if someone could get to 4 GHz with one of those 1.8 C1's. Now that would be very impressive.

what a newb. still using LN2? dude, if you knew ANYTHING about o/cing you'd be using LN7 like I do. :rolleyes:

[RangerJoe]

lol. thats cute ted...
aaannnnyyyyway...nice job yoshi...you really should post some benchmarks

[Doc_Skurlock]

yeah, post benchmarks
Doc

[I.M.O.G.]

nice pics haha, thats funny, but a little sarcastic maybe? ...trying my best to adhere to my own ethics and that of the board... much like [oc]lucifer... i am going to also plead the first... "no comment"

[Namagomi]

dude, WTF? how many people are going to doubt the power of my LN7-cooled, P4 3.06@94.2?

No need to be jelious, losers. :(

[glass]

uff.. impressing but nothing groundbreaking sry :)

and the article lacks pics.. and it would have been better to have the other mode of wcpuid on rather than the one just showing the big mhz number.

intel Pentium4 3.06G SL6S5 (WCPUID MAX 4.58G!!):

A man who shares thought similar to myself.. however impressive these numbers are.. they are just that and nothing more.
Just because a PC boots into an operating system at a specific speed it does not make it a valid overclock and as such because this system is not capable of running certain applications known to place stress on the system at 4207.96mhz then I do not count this number as anything more than 'braggin rights'
The real figure which was achieved by this system imho was 3933 mhz because it ran everything it needed to.
Far to much interest has been placed on unrealistic figures and unstable systems and this is something that I personally wish would change.

Anyway welcome to Overclockers mryoshi :D

I still like that one. So it's just an ALU. It shows us what can be done when we apply ourselves. Gives us a look into the future. It also shows us that it's possible. Which I don't doubt the skys the limit as far as deriving ways of making computer hardware. Like every other obsicle eventually we'll figure out how to go around or through it.

-Toysrme

Edit: hahahaha obsicle. What is that a desert?

[Mord-Sith]

Off topic but nice job with the nintendo atari xbox ps2 ect.. thing you made man that was a masterpiece

[NO LIFE]

Hey Yoshi!!!!!

You should have your own show on TechTV called "Yoshi's Computer Corner". Then you can mod away an overclock like nuts!!....but infront of a camera, so we can see the method to your madness!!! I would PAY to see a show like that.

BTW, LN2 is by all means valid, dont be jealous of his mad skills.

Where can I get a few quart sof that stuff??:p :eek:

[NO LIFE]

Agreed on the....whatever you called (remeber it was something cool). Will it ever be ebayed?

[UnseenMenace]

I do not think anyone discounts the skill and somewhat bravery to risk your system to LN2, its just that in the opinion of people such as myself LN2 has little purpose other than its ability to produce unrealistic and artificially high results. A LN2 cooled computer is not currently suitable for day to day use as far as I am aware and as such LN2 overclocks do little to impress me.
If big numbers impress you greatly that is perfectly fine however my opinion has very little to do with jelousy and to be honest I was more impressed regarding the workmanship and thought that went into Yoshi's Multi Game System Box than this.

I would be most interested in what Yoshi's opinion regarding the validity of LN2's overclocks are, and what purpose he believes they serve

[Matrix78]

just had to stop in to say hi to yoshi, watch the show daily!! now tell Pat and Leo to join up on here too!

edit: and Morgan and Megan ;)

[wildbilly2k]

Sweet i watch the show everytime i can mostly to see for overclocking and modding.
Yeah im thinking liquid nitrogen through some copper piping into a block onto a radeon 9700 pro would be really cool maybe even get that thing to 550 core

[ol' man]

Not sure if any of you were around about 1 year ago when i ran a 1.2GHz cel-t on dry ice with the CPU at -60 deg. C for 14 hours. All I had to do was drop dry ice into the container every hour or so. One stupid thing though i did was not run a fan out the window only left it open. CO2 is more dense than air and so is LN2 affectively Nitrogen triple bonded to another Nitrogen. There is no LN7, at least not in this universe.

[gone_fishin]

Hi Yoshi, I'd like to express that this, to me, is a valid form of overclocking even though it is rare on these forums. The intention was obviously not to achieve a daily running rig in those conditions. There are a lot of competitions out there and to me it is fun to see these mad scientist attempts.:)

[aznsound]

hey Yoshi, i was watching that show one time when you all immersed a system in that 3M liquid... i forgot what that liquid was, but what was the best you got that one at...? hmm... i wonder what would happen if you froze a system in that thing... hehe...

by the way... i think you're awesome...!

[SUPER BIG MAN]

i think i saw that episode

[nealric]

just wait untill I do my liquid Helium project. 4k baby! Now to steal an MRI machine from the hostpital.... :beer:

[NO LIFE]

Computer "immersed" in liquid. I gotta see this!!!!!!!!!!!

Is there a recording of it somewhere?!?!?!?

Please!!!!

Well, you gut reaction is jealousy, as with just about everyone else's. However, we should care to some extent, what an overclocker can do today, no matter how extream, shows the chips potental for what it will be tomorrow.

Now, I would like to see an AMD XP 2800+ (or whatever is highest at the time) oc'd this way. I wonder how it would compare?


Btw: I now look forward to taking vacations because the hotel rooms have TechTV and ScreenSavers. Unfortunatly, we dont at the house. Keep up the good work and keep us posted with whatever else you come up with.

[Emericana]

if i am not mistaken this is the world record :

SOme guy named Tamo did it... it was taken from the vr-zone database

[Daemonfly]

http://holicho.lib.net/top/021208/021208.htm

This would be higher, if it's accurate. - 4588Ghz

Do a better job reading and scroll up to my second post.


My gut reaction is boy what a great deal of virtually wasted time effort and money from my end. From his end I'm sure he enjoy's the admiration of some and the fact that he must get great pride and personal satisfaction in it. I know I would.

I just don't care at all for the revalance this has to me. As I said before, so he proved a PIV can run at 4200+ MHZ. Big deal. Who here ever doubted to begin with that (insert your man. here) wouldn't be able to raise ther clock speed.

-Toysrme

[Iron Hawk]

Yup, I agree.

[Abra_Volta]

What is this show everyone keeps mentioning?

I'm guessing it's a television program. Unfortunately, I don't get a lot of chances to watch any...of course, the last time my TV was even on was about 2 months ago.

[elekt]

the show is The Screen Savers, its on a channel called TECH tv its a tv show available on satalite and cable too i think. i have direct tv and i get it, its great.
