After careful consideration I have decided to transfer all hardware review activities to a new domain.  I purchased Hardwareasylum.com in 2012 and have been working hard to build a new and improved Ninjalane on that domain.  If you are reading this you have reached one of the archived articles, news, projects and/or reviews that were left behind during the site migration. 

Please update your bookmarks and be sure to visit the new and improved Ninjalane at Hardwareasylum.com

    Benchmarks - Overclocked

    As with all of our reviews, we pit the default speed system against the overclocked one in a head-to-head byte match.  The effective overclock for these tests is 4.3GHz @ 205MHz.  The results are show below.

    Overclocking Conclusion
    Overclocking retail processors is always a challenge and with additional clock cycles present in most every processor it's all based on how well you can tune your system, and knowing the limits of your hardware.  So far we have been extremely lucky with our Core i5 750 processor and were able to beat our previous overclocking best of 4Ghz by an additional 300Mhz.  

    As with any overclocking adventure your mileage can, and will most likely vary, the important thing is using the right tools for the job and having fun while doing it.
