x2 at 5ghz? yeah, likely

You can trust it, just sort the BS from what isn't BS, any common sence can do this :D
 
yes, I know it's unreasonable and stupid. I don't believe it. I'm just afraid someone is going to say 3.2ghz or something on an x2 5000+, or 3.4 on the next single core. If someone fakes something somewhat believable, it'll be hard to tell if it is faked or not. I'll ask someone on here if it's real or not :p

Then what's the big deal?

Well if it's somewhat believeable, then yes it will be hard to tell. We all take a leap of faith, and have some trust in the fact that what people are posting is indeed not tampered with, and is indeed factual. OC'ing results seem to be fairly repeatable anymore. The same equipment, with the same steppings, ran at the same BIOS settings should yeild a similar result between two, 5, even 10 rigs.

That's stupid, I want something I can trust. I buy chips based on how they overclock, and that was one of my favorite resources. Now, I can't trust it.

Buying a processor, mobo, RAM, whatever because a few people say they got X ammount of overclock out of it is just setting your self up for disappointment, and :bang head:. Everything computer related is going to run a little differently, and have a variation in its tolerences. Don't buy a catagory of harware because a few people are having extrodinary luck with it. If you're going to buy something base on overclocking potential, then find out what about the average is for a series of hardware and base it off that. It's okay to oooohh and aaaahh over some extreme results, but don't base a purchase off of it.
 
You act like how some people's hand-picked chips working under liquid nitrogen gives you a good guess as to how it will overclock.
 
no, I don't do that. CPU-Z is not my only source for that. I also come here and read as many things as I can and look at THG and stuff. That's how I chose my Venice.
 
umm yeah it's hacked.
200x12=2400 = stock speed of 4800
He didn't even overclock it lol
 
Anyone else notice it's on an Asus board? Me thinks if this was ever possible it'd be on a DFI or Epox or something, not an Asus.
 
Probably just the program that bugged out when sending the data or something....

I remember seeing 9600xt's that did like 10'000 3dmarks on '03 @ stock... one of the tests usually showed like 100 fps + than normal.

It's just a bug, almost definitely not a hack. These things happen sometimes. I've had CPU-Z misread my memory speeds at highly unstable speeds before.
