This is for those silly people who cant leave their CPU/GPU settings alone to discuss how they have overclocked their PC's share Overclock settings and such.
As for me, I have a modest Core i5 750. Base clock started off at 2.66GHz, i got it now to 3.2 so my RAM runs at its proper 1600 rated speed.
I did try setting it to run at 4GHz with Turboboost, but it wanted me to bump voltages past spec to be stable. Also oddly enough my CPU refuses to allow me to underclock it (Tried setting it to 2.4Ghz base clock, refused to run xD)
Current settings:
Base Clock: 160Mhz ( gives me 3.2Ghz if Turboboost and EIST was disabled )
Multiplier range: 9-24x (1.4Ghz to 3.8Ghz)
Ram Speed: 1600MHz
QPI Link: 2800MHz
Idle Temp: 38C
Load Temp: 60C
XS Bench testing (Single Core Performance Test)
Base Score: 1000 (C2D E8400 3Ghz)
My Test Score: 1468 (@ 3.8Ghz)
High Score: 2300 (Intel Xeon @5.7GHz) by XtremeSystems
(It seems a i7 980x scores about a 1995 at 5GHz, so I am pretty happy )
-Overall, my i5 isn't one of the better binned chips, so its a little intolerable of overclocking like some of the others, but its still stable at what I set it at, and still within Intel's Voltage and current specs
As for my 5850, it started off at 725MHz GPU and 1000MHz Memory
It is set to the highest ATI Overdrive and/or card BIOS would allow which is
775MHz GPU and 1125MHz Memory
Idle Temp (40% fan): 40C
Load Temp (40% fan): 60C
-Love my 5850, may not be a top contender in performance anymore, but its amongst the coolest and quietest modern card one could get
