Tomshardware, article with history about Overclock and micros.

[amd125]

Hello:

Tomshardware has put out a brief article about some of the best CPUs for OC in history. Some of you will surely have fond memories.

14 Of The Most Legendary Overclocking-Friendly CPUs - What Makes A CPU Overclocking Legend?

In my case, I started with OC with the 486 :ugly: and I have fond memories of the Intel E2180 that I still have, it cost me about 50€ and with OC it outperformed a micro like the E8500 that cost about 4 times more; and of course my beloved Q6600 that is still my main micro and that performs like a titan despite having years on its back.

The AMD XP were great and I remember fondly an AMD 939 3200+ and then the 38002 which with OC approached the 48002 ;D What a time. I still have a whole AMD 939 PC at home and another Pentium D ;D I don't know if I should donate them, but it pains me :llorar:

I also remember the Pentium 2 at 300. I think I remember that due to a break in stock, Intel renamed Pentium to 450 as if they were going to 300 ;D and if you knew, you changed the pin on the motherboard and OC completely stable at 50%. The Duron from AMD were cheap micros with a nice OC. Anyway, I sound like the grandfather... it's been many years with PCs :eoh:

I like this type of reviews

If I am in HL it is thanks to a guide that was about how to unlock all kinds of cores of the Athlon XP (which by the way, I have printed and saved somewhere) with the silver paint.

Later I dared with a P2 to 300MHz that I put to 450 MHz in a completely stable way.

My last OC has been the PC#1 of the firm that has been overclocked since the day of its purchase almost 7 years ago (my God, how long a PC lasts now...).

what memories, according to what I have read that has come to my mind is my first micro pentium III 900mhz… that one really overclocked well! ;D ah buddy, and I also had two e6600 in their time. I sold one of them a long time ago on h2m, and I have the other one saved like gold. it does 3.8ghz at 1.4v totally stable with a gigabyte 965p-ds4 motherboard

well, I've practically had them all, you see, age shows, haha
the only one that wasn't the opteron, but all of them passed through my hands,

My P3 450slot1@650, or the p2 233@350 and the cely 1300@1733. What a marvel of micros. And the worst my e8400 that doesn't even work with my motherboard. And I have no idea, and I also don't have time to investigate, as it's the main equipment.
Of the rest, I have several of those micros, so I'll see if I can prepare a package to "cede" them in exchange for others

Well, I think the best I've seen were the i3 clarkdale 2.8@4.5GHz and up to 5GHz that came out, that's why the following generations have been locked XD

PCs last the same as before … what lasts much less is the work and the salary, which is what makes it seem like everything lasts longer...

Yeah... :troll: I still have that lame clark lol, never mind

@Tecnho:

Si ya… :troll: ese clark cojo aún lo tengo jajaja ya te vale

El mio es un veterano de guerra, quedó lisiado sin un núcleo jajaja, no pensé que aun lo tuvieras guardado. Y el tuyo que, aun sigue en funcionamiento? Lastima que ahora todos vengan bloqueados, antes con uno de 100€ podías divertirte un buen rato

Mine still gives it its all, and yours because of laziness I didn't call intel but it's slow but it works, you hear.
