And now for something a bit different

Hi

Recently dipped my toe in the overclocking world and got my primary rig slightly overclocked. Most of the time it spends its time as a Hackintosh, replacing my older Mac Pro. I know its only 4.1 ghz @ 1.13 volts. I will work on getting a full rig profile and upping the overclock a bit when I have time to fiddle.

I find it very amusing that osX Mavericks recognizes the overclock when sometimes certain windows 7 things just report it as a stock cpu. Of course cpu-z gets it right.

Its been fun!

I would love to know why Windows does that, Not really important but it just bugs me ^_^

Here is the same machine booted into separate SSD with windows 7. Same "About Me" type dialog box and it reports stock processor

Mine reports my OC. The one that changes is the 2nd clock speed.

WE picks up my overclock. I guess it depends on the motherboard/how you did your overclock.

Its really basic over clock. Only things changed are the multiplier and voltages and turning the Load Line compensation up. Also Turbo mode turned off.

I am just following the very basics as outlined in Tom's video. Since I had only air cooler before getting the 250D and H100i in the last couple of months, I had left it stock. Now trying to learn how to over clock, but don't have a whole day to sit there and fiddle to get higher speed right now.
