Need help for reasearch paper

[stayfrosty]

well, im going to do a reasearch paper :brick: on how overclocking is a cheap and effective way to improve your computers speed. I need some rescources for this, I have lots of web sites but I could use some solid book rescources, If anyone has any knowledge of the existence of any kind of book that even remotely has anything to do with this pleast link me or post the author/title thank you

it can be effective, but overclocking can be quite expensive too if not properly executed. so don't try it at home, overclocking is for professionals. Xbitlabs have a good article on overclocking. Click here (http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/display/p4-2400c-oc.html).

cant really help you with that, but a tip, you should differ between two types of ocs.

1. get a low end piece of hardware that is exactly or mostly identical to high end hardware and increase its speed to close, exactly or even higher than the high end piece.

2. get the latest high end piece of hardware and make it even faster by manipulating the hardware (cooling/increasing supply voltage/adding or replacing parts of the hardware(capaciotrs)/enabling hidden settings)

@ OP, you should focus on aircooling, because that gets the most OC bang for your buck out of any cooling

I know I saw a link on [H] a few months back about an overclocking book....

Ahhh, here it is
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/188641176X/qid=1084392446/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl14/104-0017002-3479951?v=glance&s=books&n=507846

Its most likely pertty basic stuff, but should be exactly what you're looking for if you're focusing on #1 from above. Profs/teachers always like to see tangible references too.

:D

I have that book, and your right it is basic. However it would be a good reference for a paper because it explains what it is and how to do it and so on and so forth.
Good Luck on the paper!

Take a 1700+ @ 2.5 Ghz, 9500 @ 9700 and then oc to 9800 PRO on core and make it go head to head with Pentium 4 3.2 Ghz / 9700 PRO.

Then compare the price...

umm, I think it would be fairly difficult to OC a softmod 9700 to a 9800 pro...

especially considering the diffrence in core...

good luck with your paper. :cool:

[STEvil]

not hard at all, actually.

Here is what it takes to get my 9700np (275/270 def clocks) to 9800XT and over speeds :D

My 9500 surpassed the XT on the core.. 430. Voltmod.

[STEvil]

430 seems to be somewhat of a brick wall for 95/9700's... :/

Well I've seen someone do 506 :)

[STEvil]

on phasechange.

[dfinf2]

search barnes and noble i know they got at least 3 books on it

o and hi my first post hope to be here awhile :)

hmm, so a 9700 running 9800 speed is just as fast?

[STEvil]

yes, a 9700 running at the same clocks as a 9800 is just as fast... as a 9800.
