Author Topic: Someone help me overclock my AMD 9750 Quad ~2.4  (Read 2122 times)

Yes, halp.

I'm using CPU Tweaker, rather than using the bios.
I need help with the process it's self.

what could you possibly be doing that requires you to overclock that?

Seriously, why overclock that stuff.

I would kill for a card like that.

what the forget does overclocking even do
i mean ive heard of it before but never figured out what it does

I think it allows a graphics card to run games at a higher setting than normal, but it makes the card heat up more and results in frying it sometimes.

graphics cards can be overclocked but in this case he is talking about overclocking his CPU, which is incredibly powerful as it is.


I want a 3.0 :C
Lol, you don't really need 3.0, I guarantee you won't notice a difference in performance, my CPU is OC'd at 3.4 from 2.4 and, it's not that BIG of a difference, still nice though.

In my experience, don't do it if you don't need to. You risk loving up the cpu and you'll have to buy a new one.

I have a Core 2 Duo 2.66 GHz, and one day I overclocked it to 2.8 GHz. I was playing Left 4 Dead 2, and on the finale it started stuttering, I thought it was just my system bugging up. Few seconds later, crashed. Turns out it overheated. Set it back to default clocks and haven't touched it since.

In other words: Don't do it. A light overclock of 0.05 GHz or something is fine, but otherwise, no.

2.4 GHz is nothing.  I am temporarily satisfied with my stock 3.1 GHz quad, but I'm buying an i7 920 with plans to bring it up to 4.0 GHz.

Funny story, my processor was a dual core until I unlocked the other two cores.  Luckily they weren't broken, just disabled.  It's now a face raping quad core.

Oh and Gen. Nick, you're a dumbass.  Only handicaps forget up their CPU when overclocking.  Just take it slow and carefully set the voltages.  Be sure to do plenty of stress testing.  In other words: Overclocking isn't loving hard unless you're mentally challenged.

Oh I'm sorry, did I mention I only have two mini-fans?

Calm down detective dipstuff. You can resume jumping at people when you know the whole case.
And it was one of those experimental try outs. The cavemen didn't know fire would hurt them until they put their hand in and felt pain.

I lost all credibility in the post at this point.
Also lol, what a waste of money, you don't NEED an i7 CPU at 4.0Ghz.

Tom

My 2.66 gets hot really hot without being over-clocked.

It was 130 earlier today D:
I think its the mostly plastic casing, probably doesn't transfer heat very well.

Doesn't AMD also disable cores when they are broken and sells them as triple-core/dual-core?

If so then you are an idiot.
They disabled them for a reason.

I have a Core2Quad Q9650 @3.0ghz.
