CPU Overclock Results


J0k3r

Recommended Posts

J0k3r got me to finally put my clock up a little too. My stock clock was 1333 and my CPU is currently rock stable at 1600. I only needed to add a small amount of voltage (.02).

The only issue I found was heat. Since this computer's inception I've been using the stock HS/F. Before the overclock, my CPU ran around 50+ idle and 60+ loaded; and after the overclock (still using stock HS/F) I was at around 56 idle and 70+ loaded. I was shopping around for a HS/F when I remembered that I had one up in my attic in a box that was 100% unused. Back in the day it was very popular and highly rated cooler. (Zalman CNPS7000B-CU) I found the link for it off Google because I was unable to find it via Newegg's search (where I purchased it) because I think it's discontinued. I was pretty sure it wasn't for my socket style but I just wanted to verify it. Upon going to the details and looking under compatibility, I found some information that made my day:

 

"Intel Pentium 4 (Socket 478), AMD Duron / Athlon / Athlon XP (Socket 462), and Sempron / AMD64 (Socket 754 / 939 / 940) compatible design for broad compatibility. (To use this product on socket 775, ZM-CS1 must be purchased separately.)"

 

Long story a little shorter, I decided to give the ZM-CS1 a chance for $6.99/free shipping and here are some idle/load results after some benchmarks.

Needless to say, the temps are well under control now. I have to throw some love at Zalman for throwin' down a solution to keep one of their better designed and functional heatsinks working for another socket type. :)

Not sure how I missed this thread, but enjoying it. Gotta see what I need to crush once I order my new shit. :viking:

 

I'm not going to be able to rock a SSD on build, so you'll have me for awhile there...Gadget!

 

Word to the 775 kit on that cooler Hizzi. That's some mad nice temp drops. :afro:

If you were ever curious about the Corsair H60 Liquid cooling kit, it's nice but similar temps to a pimp air-cooler.
