Overclocking

[Ace195]

Okay I want to overclock my 2500+ barton to something other than that. I know for sure that I don't have to oc my ram with it.. I'm just curious what is a good fan to look for when overclocking an AMD processor. :)

[Happydude]

get a water cooling system :D

[BigBoss]

Seth take off the side of your computer and just aim a normal fan at it that will work just fine.

[ominub]

you can turn it to a 3200(2.2Ghz) barton on stock cooling what the hell do you want to OC to like 2.5Ghz or something

yeah jon I do.. I told you that the other night :P
Steve I might actually try that :P lol

[ominub]

yeah jon I do.. I told you that the other night :P
Steve I might actually try that :P lol
you must be really determind to out do what im building for hero2
good luck trying

[Ace195]

Ooh jon but I can.. Hmm I have a 400mhz fsb on my computer and the 2500+ barton the only diffrence between my computer and his the brand of MB and the case.... Thats hard to do..

[edit] that and jon remember how we turned on the warning beep if it hit 56 degrees.. well it keeps beeping at random times.. ??

[BigBoss]

Seth you need speed holes and more fans.

[Ace195]

lol.. no I'm not doing what jonbo did.. r3t4r|) by drilling holes in my case I was however thinking of adding exhaust fans ect. to my case. that and I've ordered a new case. Because I'm selling mine to my cousin

[edit] that and jon remember how we turned on the warning beep if it hit 56 degrees.. well it keeps beeping at random times.. ??

If your processor is still oc'ed and its beeping at random times TURN DOWN THE PROCESSOR FSB. If it isn't, then oh well. And oh yeah, 1 case fan isn't enough.

But on the subject of oc'ing higher then 3200+, its almost useless. Why do you need all that speed? I really doubt your running processor heavy apps.

Go ahead and try to ruin your mobo/processor by outdoing Jeff/Hero2. I will laugh when it happens.

[Ace195]

like you did moron

[Jonbo298]

like you did moron

I'm not the one trying to outdo Jeff or anyone for that matter.

And my processor was going to go anyways. It's a 1ghz Athlon nonXP. My dad had used it long before I did. So it had its time.

And my makeshift case fan on top is a temporary thing. If I get the job, I will make it look better using a dremel and getting an actual grill to put on it.

[BigBoss]

Ace and jonbo you seem to argue a lot.

[Ace195]

Yeah... I don't like people who are idiotic twoards whatever is said. Even when they don't quit fully comprehend whats going on. Even if they do, JON they don't have to be an idiot about it Go ahead and try to ruin your mobo/processor by outdoing Jeff/Hero2. I will laugh when it happens. Coming from a person who put a big hole in his computer doesn't sound very smart..

Jon if they haven't called you yet you didn't get hired.. so I'm guessing you didn't get hired... That and I'm not trying to outdo jeff we have almost the exact same mobo and processor the only thing I'm doing is working on my computer. If I wanted to outdo someone I woud go buy the 64 on my buisness card...

[edit]
and jon if you want you can use my dremel tool..

[Jonbo298]

Coming from a person who put a big hole in his computer doesn't sound very smart..

That hole is to make my computer run COOLER. It actually helps, but I doubt you know that it does.

If the case you are getting has 4 case fans, then those are all holes in your computer also. What's the difference? Just because my appearance isn't good right now doesn't mean anything.

[BigBoss]

True jonbo true, the hole while not looking good does help.

[Ace195]

That hole is to make my computer run COOLER. It actually helps, but I doubt you know that it does.

See jon it's statements like these that make me dislike you.. Instead of saying "It makes my computer run cooler" you have to be condescending.. ( I don't care if I spelled this right)

[edit]
Just like putting one of these would have don'e the same thing too.. Hmm.. the concepts of buying parts for your computer.. hmm.. http://www.compusa.com/product_images/images/full/88/298588_f.gif

[Jonbo298]

Because I don't have a job, for the computer I have, its not too bad. I don't have credit to throw around and get into debt.

And why would I want to put one in my current computer? I don't have money to just throw around. Makeshifting what I have is better then blowing out my mobo or overheating my comp.

And about me not getting the job, you don't know what I have done so far. Today's Sunday, remember that.

[Ace195]

Jon I do know how you fare in getting a job in earthlink remember I am friends with the OPS manager..

[BigBoss]

You two just need to fight to the death and then the winner needs to have his head cut off. Its the universal solution it works with everything.

[Ace195]

we can fight to the death.. and when I win I want someone to try to cut my head off.. Except for you steve.. make it jon or jeff..

[ominub]

this **** is so funny

EDIT: are you getting the same case jeff did because if you are im going to say that you are jealous.

[Ace195]

No I'm getting the one we talked about at compusa jon before jeff picked his case :P

[Jonbo298]

Jon I do know how you fare in getting a job in earthlink remember I am friends with the OPS manager..

Why would you prevent me from getting a job at West/Earthlink? I don't understand why. If you were looking for a job at a place where I work and I "know the big shots", I would not tell them to not hire you just because of this feud.

Let the person/people who choose whether someone is hired or not do it, not you.

[Ace195]

Nothing from "this" is stopping you from getting hired..

[Jewels]

Ace and jonbo you seem to argue a lot.


ya think steve.... sounds like seth is just wanting to outdo everyone for something so small....

***COUGH**nerd***COUGH**

[Yoda9864]

Good lord people, settle down. There is absolutely no reason to overclock a 2500 Barton. Really, what programs are you using that would necessitate an OC? If you say 'games', you're wrong. With a 2500, it's most likely that your video card is the bottleneck, not your CPU.

I have 5 80mm fans, but I won't OC my 2500 just because there's no reason to.

sounds like seth is just wanting to outdo everyone for something so small.... Haha, maybe he needs to make his computer faster to make up for some 'smaller' assets that he has. Just kidding, lol.

[Ace195]

Gah.. I don't know jewels personally never met her.. But I am trying to get it to go to 3200 and stay stable and cool :P And believe me I'm not a nerd..

[Vampyr]

Gah.. I don't know jewels personally never met her.. But I am trying to get it to go to 3200 and stay stable and cool :P And believe me I'm not a nerd..

Yeah, I dont think Ace needs the speed. He just wants to achieve the speed. I can dig that. :guitar:

I'm thinking of getting this :P http://heatsinkfactory.com/uploads/hs_014_big.jpg yay!!

you can prove that your not a nerd?!?!? COOL BEANS!! lets see it happen, why do you need the speed?? trying to be the coolest kid in the kindergarten class with the fastest toy? or do you just have a grudge on jonbo, and you want to be better? jonbo may be a little bit of a dork (no offense there jonny) but hes pretty cool.

Eh, I'm a partial geek. I love computers so the name fits, ya know.;)

[Ace195]

Hmm.. I take it you went to TJ no offense jon : )

Like I said. He DOES NOT need the speed. He WANTS it. We are guys. Guys will be guys. We are very competetive, and argue and fight and compete about stupid things like this. Its part of who we are.

[Ace195]

Thankyou vampyr.. and Jon I wasn't saying anything even I don't know where I was going with that.

[Jewels]

Hmm.. I take it you went to TJ no offense jon : )
