i bought my computer in 04/05 so its a pos by todays standards.

barton 2500-m (1.7ghz stock?) oced to 2.5ghz 12.5x200
2x512mb ocz 2.5-3-3-11 400mhz
2x120gb maxtor 7200rpm 8mb cahce
xfx 6800gt 350mhz core oced to 400 1000mhz memory 256mb
cpu cooler is thermaltake extreme volcano 12 >5000rpm (sounds like a vacuum on full speed setting)

i dont see why you would want your heatsink to have a mirror finish. it is supposed to have some cavities to let the thermal goop get in to allow for proper heat transfer. they found that the most efficient way was to have little pyramids in the heatsink and it would fill those with arctic silver

LOL...
I have a rig OC'ed to 6 times its stock speed!





It's a old dual Celeron server board, designed to be OC'ed... 2 200mhz stock Celerons designed to be OCed to about 600mhz, I added some bigass cooling and got it to 1.2ghz each LOL

thats just plain strange. what about stability? i can get another couple hundred Mhz from this thing but it wont open any programs and it will usually reboot itself eventually (in windows xp anyways)

Stable enough to run W2k server, but unfortunately does occasionally reboot at over 800mhz per core.

when the 9series of nvida comes out i will be getting a 8800gtx for around £100 and selling my 8600 just before for around 80 :p i get around 8000 on 06 with my graphics card @ jecs its called lapping and onces its mirror smooth you dont USE thermal paste because the fit is so perfect you use a tiny amount because the pastes termal resistance is almost 2x that of the copper surface of the chipsink and the heatsink ( the chipsinks are copper inside with a aluminium painted top)

Intel E6600 OCed to 3ghz
2x1gb Crucial Ballistix PC-8500 running at 1000mhz, 5-5-5-18
Abit AB9-Pro motherboard (is crap, can't go higher than 3ghz with my setup because of it)
Zalman CNPS9700NT CPU cooler
2 x DVD burner, 16x and 20x (with diodes intact  :p)
2 x 500gb SATA hard drives (Samsung primary, Seagate secondary)
BFG Tech 7900GS graphics card
Antec NeoHe 500w PSU
All in an Antec P180b case

It's a moderate setup that I mainly just use as a home server for storage, as a print hub and for downloading stuff as well as video processing and occassional gaming.  My primary computer, which I'm posting from now, is a Dell XPS M1330 with all the goodies, but not overclocked  :cool:

Orthos stable for >24hrs
SuperPi score:

I used to overlcock. I won a vapochill from hardocp a LONG time ago and had a p3 700 at 1250mhz the day the p3 700 was available in stores. when I went over 1000, the bios only shows smileyfaces and spades and other extended ascii characters. I also had a athlon 700 @ 1150. I could operate at -30C. Had problems with ice and condensation and one time the chill control that precools the PC before it boots failed and the clamshell melted and the cpu got hot enough to melt the solder and char the motherboard in about 5 minutes. I cut back then.
