Hardware & Technical Overclocking Your Rig

Might just sound like the inside of a space ship and add more realism
My last bunch of Dell PowerEdge 1U's honestly sounded like jet fighters taking off. The noise was horrendous and I ended up having to move them to my garag.. datacenter.
Nowadays I don't have a garag... datacenter so I can't have noisy kit. My HP servers are a fair bit quieter and can safely live in a cupboa... data silo. I wouldn't game on them though - an old ipad probably outperforms them graphically.

These guys are right next to me at work - and compared to the old euipmment are fairly quiet.

Funny thing - I once had a Server that was running a Call Centre yrs ago that did not survive a re-boot only due to a dead graphics card - and yet we always only ever RDP'd to it.
I had to race home and dig up an old VGA card from my junk Pile to resurrect it.
Oh mine were old 1950's - noisy things! 2005 vintage I believe.
I wouldn't overclock those either lol

Personaly i dont like to overcklocking as it reduces the lifespan of the cpu and gpu, but if money is not an issue go ahead at your own risk, ppl can talk as much we like, but we cant do anything anyway no matter what our own opinion on the matter is.
My overclocked system AMD64 3800+ and Radeon X850 platinum was running a 15% overclock for most of it's life (2003). I'm now going to install Open SUSE Linux and samba and use it as a file-server.
