You need to be testing the overclocks for much longer to find out the stability and try not to jump in with the "I can get 4ghz is I only spent £200 on water cooling". I thought that you would have leant something about overclocking and what to realistically expect by now?
You seem to have totally forgotten all the advice and everything that you should have learnt from the laptop threads.
Harjun + overclocking + LFS forum = locked thread.
Way to be cool Takumi...if you want to make e-friends to enlarge your e-penis, at least get some GOOD photoshop skillz. As for this thread, it started decent. Getting to 3.2ghz on a E2180 is nice, but thats about where it died...

One will cut the lag between the frame being drawn and the one displayed on your monitor because the frame it displays was drawn more recently. I very much doubt Harjun will be able to run at a stably locked 200fps though so more processing power will help reduce the performance drops when there's something to stretch his PCs legs.
You really don't have a clue what your on about do you?
An overclocked PC doesn't die after a month, it dies if the owner is stupid. Also, how do you know your AMD is more stable? Have you seen Harjun's computer? Used it? Tested it?
I bet his would be the more stable if the two were compared.
Yeah dude stop being a douche. An overclocked CPU won't die after a month, especially considering it's still on stock voltage. If say it was a quad at 1.8volts on cheap liquid or good air cooling then yes, your lookng at a short life. Theres no such thing as MORE stable. If something can pass a 24 orthos test it is stable, theres no real 'competition' of who's CPU is more stable...

I don't know - i must be stupid for overclocking my hardware so that alone i now get 160+ FPS with lots of AA, even though in a full grid i still get about 40...
Maximum frame-rate is all about e-peen, minimum frame-rate is quite important.
Standard Clock a CPU with decent cooling (or even just a clean stock cooler) should live for about 10 years. Overclocked with a little more vcore and it might last 8, maybe 9. Yes, taking 2 years off the life of a computer seems a little extreme, but 8 years ago Socket 370 was all the rage - no people just throw them out
200 fps does not mean "not stable" - Without talking about Harjuns overclock (as i don't know if he's stability tested it) i can tell you that you can have overclocked systems that are about as stable as you can get (ie 3+ days of Prime95)
You call Harjun stupid, but at least he understands a bit about overclocking
@ Takumi : what not stable? if i look towards a wall or smthn i get 250+ FPS driving alone gives 160-200 FPS and full grid does 50-70 FPS, dont know but my pc is stable, LFS NEVER crashed temp is good to acceptable
PS: don't think u know all about computers Takumi (neither do I)
@mcintyrej
I use my AMD for almost 3 years. If i ever overclocked it it would be already dead by now.
@dropin_biking
Just wait till Harjun tells us the true story what happend with his pc
@DaveWS
Yup.
@Jakg
You are wrong Jak. I dont call Harjun Stupid infact he's my friend.
He is a 13 years old boy? He will only go at extremely high fps so he could play games better, faster.
Listen. Let's say that you bought a new pc (Today). You put the comp together and start running it. Tell me what's your second step? overclocking? test abilities? If you really want to play LFS with 3,2ghz with 200 fps? why not get a standard 3,2?
I have stability tested it, failed 8 hours or something at 3.2Ghz in orthos, put it at 2.8Ghz, and now its 9 Hours stable, all night, load temps of 45celcius. and by the way, this is all the truth.
what? 3.2Ghz on a stock cooler, now tell me, how many people get that, people say if you're over 2.6Ghz on stock cooler thats good, im on 3Ghz now....owned what? if someone got owned, it is you
(neither do I)
.. So it's not stable as it looks huh?
