Overclocking....

Phat szabo · Jun 11, 2003

Hey i am kinda new here so i will come out and ask what are the best overclockers and where can i get them? i got a floor fan ( i would rather have a compac fan.... its bigger) so i can keep it cooled and it is in a cool room so all i need now is an awesome overclocker

AMD or Intel best overclockers?

This makes no sense....

Athlon 1700+ and Pentium 2.6C seem to be the best overclockers right now.

Welcome to the Forums! (and the insanity!)

But I have to tell you something: all you need is NOT an "awesome overclocker"

If all you get is a great chip, many here will still do better with an average chip because they have the most important thing in overclocking:
Knowledge!

Knowledge is king- both in which chips to look for and what procedures to use to overclock a chip.
Also in what the risks are and overclocking IS risky!!

The best thing you can do (if you haven't already been lurking and reading a while) is to read, ask questions and LEARN what overclocking is all about and how it is done.

THEN you will know where to look for the information you need.

Enjoy

That's so wrong. Knowledge is king. Go get your speacial cooling and then buy some random 1700+ and get it to 1.7ghz when you could have had some knowledge and got a good stepping and a 15$ sk6+ and got 2.4ghz... maybe grab a Soyo KT400 Dragon Platinum for 150$ while your at it.. With no knowledge you can't make good decisions.. you can spend 1k$ and get the performance i could get for 200$.. and your awesome cooling is not gonna help you when you don't have the right components.

I meant when assuming the person has the average knowledge of a person browsing this forum

This went from overclocker to knowledge is king?

IceMan3928 · Jun 11, 2003

Ok, are you talking about what processor is generally hitting the highest overclocks (in which case a mod needs to move this thread accordingly)? Or are you talking about what is the best cooling solution available for overclocking?

If you know enough, you can OC anything. Knowledge IS king.

Thanks. Spit beer on my KB.

ROTFLMAO

EDIT: Sorry...forgot to answer the questions.

and ask what are the best overclockers

The question really is: "Who are the best overclockers?"

and where can i get them?

Out here. Look around here a lot. It's fun.

Overclocking....
