the dark art of overclocking

these 2 guys overclock a amd duron CPU (i think around 1.5ghz factory spec) to 3.8ghz and remove the heatsink.. :lol:

here they overclock a intel P4 and remove the heatsink (shame they didnt tell us what speed it was at)

^^both of them leave holes in the table they were working on...^^

and these are quite funny as well:

overclocking a P4 to 5ghz.. :0wned: (click the spoiler or watch it to find out how they cooled it)


P.S. also posted in Spamming Forum

Fake.

Fake also.

Interesting use of a Roman Candle.

Truly amusing.

Couldn't find the 6GHz P4?

Re: the dark art of overclocking
 

There was an 8GHz P4, but the website is entirely in Japanese.

"the dark art of overclocking "


it is not that dark art.

Re: the dark art of overclocking
 

There, was also an 11GHz P4 and it ran very well lol....:smokin: :beer:

Re: the dark art of overclocking
 

oh, didnt know they were fake lol.. but how'd they get it to show 3818mhz on the screen?

Re: the dark art of overclocking
 

the odds of a duron being overclocked to 3.8ghz are very remote. the older k7 chips were crap when it came to overclocking. however, we can not prove that these videos are real or fake. i have to partly agree with C38368 that the CPUID readings were probably spoofed, ots really easy to edit that kind of stuff in photoshop. however, we have no proof either way.

i did see these videos before, still pretty cool. i like to see things blow up! :evilgrin:

the mac hater had no clue what he was talking about. he obviously has no clue how to use a computer, or a mouse, and probably at the bottom of the evolutionary chain. then he says he put everything together on a macintosh! WTF! good for a laugh though

Re: the dark art of overclocking
 

Repeat after me: sarcasm.

@CC~ Simple enough: Durons cannot clock that high. Their design (particularly pipeline length) makes it impossible. The shots of the monitor were either showing photochops from another computer.
Another way way to tell is by the fact that the HSF wasn't attached; the Duron would've cooked itself by the time they got around to lifting it.
The same was true for the P4, except that those don't overheat, they just underclock to the point of freezing.
And I've seen chips overheat before. They don't explode, they just smoke. Sometimes a cap or two will pop, but that's it.

Re: the dark art of overclocking
 

i don't doubt it was spoofed myself, either, but i just have to keep the slight chance if it actually being true in my mind, its someithng you learn if you go to the same university i do

Re: the dark art of overclocking
 

hmm, well they could've faked it by using some sort of explosive or something underneath the chip..

11ghz p4 you say? anyone broken the 20ghz barrier yet? :naughty: (or if not, what was the fastest?)

oh and have a look and this amd 64 ad: :lol:

(even compared to the latest intel cpu amd 64 are still better)

Re: the dark art of overclocking
 

Pentium 4's do not explode. The just smoke up and burn.

In fact, i believe the AMD one is fake aswell.

Re: the dark art of overclocking
 

They don't even do that. In fact, they don't suffer any damage at all.

Re: the dark art of overclocking
 

u sure? i mean if you took that 11ghz P4 and removed all cooling, wouldnt it take some damage from all the heat??

Re: the dark art of overclocking
 

You will never get a P4 past 6ghz, not even if you did this:

Re: the dark art of overclocking
 

Ahem. Click Here.

It's entirely in Japanese, so you may want to run it through Babelfish or Google Translator.

Re: the dark art of overclocking
 

People have already gotten past 6GHz with a P4. http://valid.x86-secret.com/records....60520abe430aba

Re: the dark art of overclocking
 

That's almost always the case. The only exception would be due to excessive voltage, which is an extreme case that you would never encounter in real life (no, those people who do stuff like overclock on LN2 live in their own little worlds).
