OCing on a Budget

[kms108]

may if the setup is performed in a fridge or freezer, then it may be possible.

Hit 5GHz yet mate?

I know a few tricks that some of you would never do, especially if you value your computer, one of these was putting 2 pieces of tin foil underneath the heatsink after removing all heat paste, that alone decreased the CPU temperature by 3 degrees, another little mod i made was bodging an old pentium MMX 1 inch fan with wood screws into the stock northbridge of the 939dual-sata2, it worked quite well and probably led to my excess overclocking of that board(especially when that fan failed..)..

and those would be ???? btw try 5ghz on extreme air on a dual core phenom II if you seceed then try it with a quad see if its any harder then the dual core repeat with a thuban

sorry if im a little confusing right now theres a few concerns about my girlfriend being pregnant so im trying to get my mind off it so please bear with me, now, if you think that i will fry my CPU before i even get close to 5GHz, then please take my bet, place down your chips because I love a good challenge, if you feel its going to take a toll on the computer then i will jsut take it a bit slower, but I am a betting man and I want to try, and hey, its only a $300 processor, if i fry it i can easily get a new one. but i bet you all a picture of me in my girlfriends blue panties and blue lace bra if i fail, if i succeed on the otherhand, i want recognition and an apology from everyone so far saying they were wrong =P

maybe a pic of your gf in said lingerie would be better ..

LOL, it has been over a month since the OP started this thread, even dogsled delivery would have come and gone by now.....

5 gig on air, I highly doubt that, if you had the whole of the remaining 'free range' x6 processors in existance one might get uber lucky, and on a stock cooler, no way, on and aftermarket cooler, pretty much a no way Jose too......out of thousands of processors, you might get one....how much time and money do you have???? even simple phase would have a a problem....

Anyway, I am pretty sure the OP was trolling, duh......

LOL

So Ive ordered the parts for a new computer and it came to $1100CAD (yeah im cheap)

i got the Asus M4A89GTD-PRO/USB3 and the AMD 1090T BE

My goal is to OC to 5GHz for proof of concept for budget computing

now, i feel this can be accomplished quite easily on air cooling. what i wish to know is what experience do people have overclocking the 1090T and the motherboard with stock heatsinks, I know, I know "never clock with stock" but most aftermarket heatsinks are mainly used for quieter operation.

so to make this simple and short

what clock speeds have you gotten on stock heatsinks with those items and would my 5GHz goal be reachable, if not what speeds should i expect once i get the parts

like we used to say in the olden days...

"Sure you will... now post screenies."

I've been a fan of, "Pics or it didn't happen!" which has been my sentiment over lots of things as I've grown up.

he's waiting for the cpu to come that's all.
