Over Clocking your machine to render faster - GoFuckYourself.com

Ladyboy King · 03-20-2010, 07:40 AM

Is this common for video rendering or is it mostly used for gamers?

Anyone have any tips?

TeenCat · 03-20-2010, 07:42 AM

my friend is 3d guru and i know he has pc always overclocked

noKru · 03-20-2010, 08:28 AM

who does not want faster renders ? it's very common for video people to OC the machines.
you just need to know how to get as much juice possible without compromising stability.

If you aren't overclocking you are wasting perfectly good hardware... you can get quick and easy 10% increase in performance by just tweaking bios settings...

I have played with overclocking, but find I like stability better. If you want a faster pc, buy the newer parts and run them stock. Unless you *really* know what you're doing and can undo whatever you did at a moment's notice.

Dual Quadcore... Why would I want to overclock?

Overclocking a working/production rig is a suicide.

Both is correct. I have OC tuner that came with my Asrock package. Why would I want to change anything when it runs perfectly fine.

If its not broke, then dont try to fix it.

I love tuning my machine.... I'm always trying to squeeze out the best I can

Thus the question. If you CAN boost some and get faster renders without causing harm to your machine, why not?

If your machine has OC software, do you still have to mess with BIOS? Or does the software take care of that for you?

My intel i5 750 overclocks effortlessly from 2.6Ghz to 3.8Ghz. Just be sure you have a decent aftermarket heatsink/fan, and a couple case fans. I have one of these on the cpu.

It probably depends on the software used, but in BIOS there are usually more settings to tweak... it's kinda like editing html with dreamweaver vs doing it by hand in notepad... the end result is often the same, but if you know what you are doing it's better to tweak the settings yourself by hand...

I got the asus P7P55 D Mboard which uses software and a remote which auto tunes the overclocking for me. Its my first intel system and im quit impressed with it.
Its perfect for the lazy man like me who doesnt want to play with voltage settings and what not.
Here it is in action

Mine has OC software but as said I prefer to keep my system running smooth and not consider cooking it. However, with the software, you do not need to mess in BIOS, its got everything on it.

If you do it correctly, you're not "cooking" anything. In fact, you can actually lower the temps.

true this. every minute counts

rowan · 03-20-2010, 01:49 PM

There's a fair margin possible with clock speeds and also voltages. It's not like the millions of transistors in a CPU all suddenly stop working once you go 0.5% above or below the published specs... but push it far enough and all it takes is for ONE to stop working properly to cause a crash... you just need to find that point then back it off slightly to keep your system stable.

I managed to undervolt a low end E1200 by 30% (1.325v -> 0.900v) and it was still going (at full stress/load) 24 hours later. The beauty of undervolting is that it saves on power and cooling costs without affecting performance.

With the fan running like a fucking spin top.... that should soon wear those bearings out.

Years, literally. Even still, I'm sure you can afford $20-$50 for a new one about 3 years down the road. ;)

I think I would rather pay a $20 or $50 for another load of ram than OC then?

MaDalton · 03-20-2010, 03:21 PM

i once overclocked my Pentium 2 from 233 to 266 mhz ;)

but since then i prefer when the stuff simply works and is quiet. and this means less fans - not more.

indeed

bronco67 · 03-20-2010, 05:37 PM

Just finished building my 6core intel today. Final overclock is 4.3ghz(stable).

I do 3D animation rendering, but I'm sure that any speed is good for vid rendering also.

Highly recommend this simple water setup for cool temps.
