Holy Jumping! Look at this.

A 4Ghz CPU chip for $130.

If this is true, we're all going to be very happy people. :2thumbsup:

O/C'ing rules. My AMD 2500 XP is running around 400Mhzs higher that equals to an AMD 3200 XP, thanks to O/C'ing and effective cooling ~:)

Yeah LEN, exact same set up here... :2thumbsup:

[Beirut]

Hmm, does that mean I can O/C my XP3000? (Without frying my machine that is.)

[LeftEyeNine]

Highyly probable, Beirut. Do you have non-standard cases or fans with your system? As I stated above, it gets even hotter in Izmir in summer, so that an O/C'ed system in winter would fry when it hits the spring times. Therefore I purchased this Chinese import that satisfies my system's cooling need at sufficent rates:

Once you have strong cooling devices, O/C 'ing is a matter of FSB adjustment through your BIOS.

A few case fans and you shouldnt have a problem. Make sure you have good airflow by careful placement of components and by using cable ties on your cables and wires. Just to make sure though, I have a Zalman CNPS7000A-Cu cooler as well. Its really great for OCing as its variable. You should be able to get at least an extra 200 mHz. Probably more.

Holy cow... 4GHZ.... :shock:

Then there's this 5.25 ghz project: http://www.tomshardware.com/2003/12/30/5_ghz_project/page13.html
and this 6 ghz one: http://forevergeek.com/geek_articles/6ghz_has_been_broken.php

Completely impractical, but oh what fun! :2thumbsup:

My energy bill would surpass the national debt if I had the 6GHZ one... :dizzy2:

You'd probably be able to compensate it with the energy you would generate from the Sturmovik propeller that you would use as the cooling fan ~D

Make that an Antonov AN225 propeller and we're settled. :grin:

Geez. You'd have to throw that thing in a pool to cool it.

Any idea how much a watercooling system costs and how hard it is to install?

[_Martyr_]

Starting at about 120 Euro for a half decent set, and they are reasonably easy to instal these days. But be very careful, and take your time!
