The Urge to OCu

[kred]

Have any of you ever experienced the urge to go out and buy a new processor just to see how high you could OC?

It's weird, I feel like the system I've got right now could hit some really high speeds w/ a better chip. So instead of being happy with a pretty decent overclock, I've got this urge to go out and buy a new cpu just cuz I think I could go higher and it's the low quality of the CPU that's holding me back.

<EDIT> HAHAHA, I just saw that I mispelled the title of this post. Should be OC not OCu.<END EDIT>

LOL!
What do you do with all the old/new CPU's? Do you have a pile of them sitting around, or do you sell 'em off?

I'm planning on doing something similar, as soon as I get my KT7A, I'm going to buy 3-4 durons at defferent speeds and the one that OC's the most I'll keep and the others I'm ging to build systems for some friends and family.

Nice to know that I'm not the only one

I just wish I had $$$ to burn.
Either that or I had some way to sell off the chips after I was done with 'em.

I think you need a masonry bit

That'd be one expensive keyring...

Have you tried clamping the processor and using a high powered drill with a drill bit meant to make holes in metal?

[Rogue]

No I don't have that kinda equipment, Just a normal drill and a few drillbits.

just go to a hardware store and get a masonry drill bit, it should work and it should be just a few bucks

A monosary bit and hammer drill will do it easy. It may take a while with a regular drill, use some WD-40 it will speed drilling up a fair bit.

KP

so since when did you have the right to tell people whats right and wrong ?
he's going out to buym the chips, so he should get to pick first, even if he takes the best one.

about the key ring, i commented in the proper post, but a drill press would be the best thing, try to borrow one, or take it somewhere you can use one, make shure everything is firley clamped in place to stop things from skittering around, barring access to a press, go with a special bit.
