I was thinking that I already posted in this thread, but I guess not. Here's mine:
1) 486/586- 486DX/2 66MHz to 80MHz in an old Packard Bell
2) Pentium Classic to MMX- Pentium 200 w/MMX to 233 on a FIC board, to 300 on an Asus P5A-B
3) AMD K5-K6- K6 266MHz to around 400MHz, .2V overvolt
4) K6-2 and up- K6-2 350MHz to 400MHz on an IBM, could do 450 on a different board
5) AXP to Barton- Applebred Duron (after Thunderbird) 1.6 to 2.3, Sempron in sig, another Applebred Duron to 2GHz
6) NB Cooling mod- lapped nb and nb heatsink, applied silver paste, changed mounting
7) Video card cooling mod- put a VF700-AlCu on my FX5700LE, applied silver paste
8) Pin mod/wire tricking- did a pin mod on an AK32VN for more vcore, couple of bridge mods
9) Case cooling mod- cut out part of the front of my X-Dreamer 2 for more airflow to the 2 front 80mm fans
10) Soft modding- soft modded my FX5700LE to a Quadro FX1100

That gives me a red belt, I guess that is alright for not having a computer over 200MHz until early-mid last year. :)

Update 11/27/05:
11) Motherboard volt mod - VDIMM vmod on AN35N Ultra for 3V
12) Motherboard volt reg cooling mod- added sinks on an AN35N Ultra
13) AMD 64 bit oc: Sempron64 3000+ @ around 2.75GHz

Black belt now :)

1- Performed a video card cooling mod
1- Performed a video card volt mod
1- Cut a 80mm blowhole and a 120mm blowhole

=6

I am a brown belt! :cool:

Can I count cutting and soldering many PSU wires for better cable management as wire tricking? I don't really know what wire tricking is. ;)

I just added up my points for the first time and it seems I am already a Brown Belt Ubercloxx0r.

custom made NB cooler
homemade ramsinks for vid card

cyrix 133 mhz, i think it was either a M1 or2. 133@166
K5 (i tihnk 5, mighta been 6) 100@120
k62 333@400, 450 at 575
P2 class, celeron 333@400. grandma needed a little faster of a web machine
P3 class: celeron 666 at 800 in dad's old emachines board, softfsb to raise bus to 80 mhz
P4 2.0 @ 2.4 friends comp, i OC's his CPU, put in more ram, and OC's his R9600se
athlon slot A: 700@800 "keeping busy at work" with a board and cpu i found in the back
Duron 900@1200
AXP 2100@2400 mhz, 2400+ at 2300mhz both in my main comp, murdered the first 2100, the 2400 is still alive and kickin.
non x-86: A64 2800+ clawhammer S754 at 247x9 2223mhz
Northbridge cooling: added a 40mm fan to NB of an A7N8X DLX r1.4
vid card cooling mod: added vantec iceberq to fx5200, radeon9200se and fx5500U
vid card Vmod: pencil modded GF3 ti200
pin modded 2400+ mentioned above, bridge modded the 2100

15 in first post

case cooling: cut grills off of my antec 1040B
PSU mod: replaced fan in antec smartpower 400, civered 92mm fan hole and cut out back so it pulled air completely across sinks
laptop OC: compaq evo N115 duron 1200@1400

after the addition 19 points.

so that makes me black belt. and a brown on top of that. lol.

I'd say i have FAR too much time on my hands. and too much old hardware floating around town, and friends that manage to come into posession of said hardware and bring it to me.

BIOS vid card OCs count as softmods? if so that means i have another point, bios OC'd a ti200 to i tihnk it was 250/533 if this holds up, im at 20 points.

My OCing successes:
OC'ed 25 MHz '040 to 40MHz on 2 different Centris 650 systems
OC'ed AMD K6-2 500 to 550 and stable until I sold it.
Oc'ed P4 from stock 2.4 GHz
Also lapped that P4 so it's as smooth as newborn baby's butt. :santa:
OC'ed AMD Athlon from 1.2GHz until the mobo (or CPU) died.
Added fan to some northbridge heatsink
Replaced stock FX5600 hsf with something better
FX5600 also had both volt and speed mod.

8 points total... nice.
 
Lets see...I cannot fully remember how much I overclocked but here is my list:

1-Intel 8086 (still have the board from college sitting around, easy to overclock, just pull out the crystal and put in a faster one!)
1-The wifes old 486 (this was a joke!)
1-My first computer was a Pentium Classic non-mmx, upgraded it to mmx
1-My father in-laws old Intel PII
1-My last computer was a Intel PIII (crappy overclocker)
1-My current rig is an Athlon Barton (loving the overclock on this thing)
1-Helped one friend with an Athlon Slot A
1-Helped another friend with his current Intel PIV

1-Northbridge cooling on 3 of the rigs above
1-Video Card cooling on my current vid card and an old daughter card I had

Although I have only been overclocking for about two years, I've overclocked quite a few cpus, let me see

a pII 266 to 333 I think
a pIII 730 to 850+
a Athlon xp1800 to 1.7ghz
2200 to 2.15ghz
2600m to 2.6ghz
2600m to 2.5ghz
2600m to 2.7ghz
a Athlon 64 dtr 3200 (laptop) from 2.0ghz to 2.2ghz
64 x2 3800 to 2.9ghz not done just yet.
64 Winchester from 2.0ghz to 2.2ghz extremely crappy mobo(overclocking wise anyway)
I'm sure there I'm forgeting something.

I've lapped my si-97, Tt volcano 12 and the cheapest copper hsf from newegg.

I've added ramsinks to a 9800pro, and tapped and modded a silencer on it, and before that I had a duct made of paper, electrical tape and staples.

Modded my case to fit a fa on the side, a whole to get my tubing to go out of the case to my rad which I mounted on the sidepanel of the case.
Does appling AS5 to my laptop count for something

And I've done the l12 wire mod and unlocked the multies on a pali 1800+.

That's probably not all but that is what I remember right now.
