how many of you cunts have been running your haslels at 4.5ghz

>>57319485
Meh.

I7 [email protected] still going strong.

Why is newer technology always more fragile?

>>57319485
I got my 3570k not too long before haswell came out, been running at 4.4ghz since day one 24/7

no issues

I7-4790k on a water block so it doesn't get hot at 4.5

>>57319527
*on a h110w/4fans....

I don't OC unless I'm on water.
That said, as far as I know, all my passed-on chips back down to my 1800+ still work. Stay within voltages, stay well below TjMax and only OC if you actually need to I guess.

4690k at 4.5niggahz for the past 3 years.
Running gentoo and use all cores for compiling every day. Still perfectly stable.

>overclocking a top-of-the line CPU on day one
ayyy lmao

only good for benchmark e-peen

I had my 3770k on factory clocks for 4 years, then I increased it to 4.5GHz when it started showing its age

@57320643
what did she mean by this

>>57319563
I've also been running at 4.4 on a stock 212 evo

>>57319485
i5 2500k @ 4.6GHz for ages, no problem. NH-D15

>>57319485

2500k @ 3.3(from 4.0) on a H100i V1, stability issues finally kicked in. Why hasn't intel made any serious strides since sandy bridge?

>>57319485
I can't even get my RAM to run at 3333Mhz like it's supposed to.

2550k. 4.2 for the first few years, dropped it to 4.0 last year. Still going strong

lol i bought the first gen i7 920. I OC'ed from 2.6 to 3.3 and it has been stable for almost a decade now... literally the best thing i have ever bought...

i keep it on 24/7 and dont stress it too much... only do media transcodes and compiling... no games.... that may be the secret right there.

>>57321404
or maybe the secret is that a CPU wont degrade to a broken state from a mild overclock over a decade, which is a relatively short about of time when talking about how it takes for CPU to die

>no kstew gf

dude things only just got good recently.... im 33 and i can remember people nuking 3000 dollar 386 from static or lighning. I blew an 800watt sub amp because of a lightning strike and that was more than my first car. Having an 800 dollar moto razr die because of a few drops of rain and all those x - xxx gig hrad drives dying because you sneezed.

i am not talking about LSI CVD chips here, but we are in the future and things are so much better...

TLDR: people push their hardware to the limits and complain when it fails... back 15 years ago everything just used to break for no reason...

>>57321487
yeah you could be right, i'm just 21 so my first rig had a 3570k. of course i take it for granted now but would you agree that nowadays its unlikely for things to just 'break for now reason'?
