Post which classes you claim points for with a brief sentence describing how you claim them, and you will be awarded the corresponding belt.
Provisionally, you may claim your belt title in your sig thus..
xxxxx belt Ubercloxx0r
in the color of the belt you claim.

Clue: it's only a bit of fun :D

Yay!! I'm green! :)

386, Celeron, AMD K6-II, Intel PIV.

Edit: the 386's PSU is destroyed thanks to my "leet" modding skills, so if anyone wants the remnants of a 40Mhz AMD 386 your'e welcome to it.

Well I had an OCed MMX 166 @188
I've had my K6-3 OCed from 400 to 450, sold it, but still runs at that speed. Also OCed a friend's K6-2 400 to 450.
OCed a Celery 766 to 862 (66 to 75MHz FSB)
OCed all my Durons/Athlons (Durons: 800, 900, 600. Tbirds: 1200, 1400)
OCed my AthlonXP 1700+ to 1700MHz (for now, had it at 2GHz and 1.73volts, for a JIUCB is nice OC). Also I had the bridges blown to give me access to higher range multies, but then I had to go back to the lower range, so I used a wire trick, so basically I either deserve 1 or 2 points for the modding, u decide.

Either way I got a brown one :cool:
 
im a green belt... oc'ed an mmx, tbird, xp, and did a pin/wire mod...

i was never really into buying older cpu's ;) the mmx was just laying around so i thought i would give it a shot :p

ive got a p4 ready to oc soon :D (need to buy a mobo that can oc :-/)

edit - its kinda no fair being an amd fan though ;) those intel boys had more chips to oc o_O (recently it would seem anyway)
 
Heh, better post details of my claim.
8088-386: Definitely remember o/cing a Harris 286-20 to 25Mhz by switching the 40Mhz clock gen for a 50Mhz one, messed with some 386SXes too, think I did 16-20 and 20-33.
486-586: Lots of dx33s to 40, a dx50 to 60, dx2-66s to 80, 5x86-100 to 120.
Pentium Classic to MMX: P75 to 150!! P100 to 133, P133 to 150...
Cyrix MI to MII: PR166+ @133 o/c to 150 with cool ambients, not a real goer. PR 366 @ 250 mild O/C to 266.
AMD K5-K6: Helped a friends K5-100 to 120, K6-266 to 300 of my own.
AMD K6-2 to K6-3: 400@450, 380@400, 333@375
AMD Athlon/Duron to Thunderbird: Duron 850 @ 1050
AMD XP to Barton: Pally 1800 to 1750, TbredA 1700 to 1850.

Northbridge cooling mod: Cut&drilled a Super7 sink to fit my KT333 NB,
Vid card cooling mod: Added fan to voodoo 3, lapped AS3ed and ground bonded stock GF3 heatsinks.
Voltage reg cooling mod: Made sinks to fit regs on K7S5A and GA-7VRX, also for socket 7 boards.
Homebrew water block: Well I made one, not really claiming a point for it, since haven't tested it seriously
Pin Mods or wiretricking: numerous K6-2 wire tricks for higher multi control. In process of PII vid pin mods.
Lapping a CPU: Lapped the cyrix MI to get the 150 o/c. Tried lapping K6-2s gave up and decapped them.

So I claim 13 points and a black belt :D

Will get another point shortly when I get into messing with this PII I just got.

Road Warrior.
 
yellow

first overclock was on 1.2ghz thunderbird, which i got to a max of 1367 unstable..wasn't a great oc'er but it introduced me to overclocking and still works (my dad's computer now :p)

pentium 4 2.26 i got up to 2.7, but it started showing SNDS symptoms so i backed it down to stock, its sitting in a box right now waiting for whatever use i have for it next. replaced it with a....

barton 2500+ oc'd to 2.2ghz (10x200), stable as all heck. most stable and constant overclock i've ever had :D

unfortunately none of the other activities apply to me (too bad case modding isn't one :D), which makes me:

Jeff Bolton, yellow belt Ubercloxx0r!!1!1 :D
 
Dayum I forgot, I voltmodded My GF3ti200, vcore mod and vmem mod. Could really use better cooling to make the most of them though.

So that makes 14. :D

Congrats to our 3 new green belt winners and our brown belt winner.

Road Warrior

edit ooops, make that 2 yellow belts 2 green belts and a brown belt, congrats! :D
 
Sadly....

One XP1600+@1900MHz (died in my sig from changing the HS to one where it relied ont he pads..lol one of my pads was missin so chip get cracked BYEBYE)
current 2100+ (JIUHB I tink...)@1600MHz (200X8) I go for FSB baby :D
Vid Card cooling mod - well, it is technically a mod coz I changed it form the stock HS on my ti4200 to a Zalman HP

So yay, at least I'm not a white belt :) (3 points, yellow belt)

Fold and Frag on
Brian
 
Doh, I too forgot that I did change the stock cooling on one ATi card I had and a TNT2 Pro, put a P-120 HSF on it, OCed great. guess that gives me another point and makes me have
a Red Belt

Maybe in another thread we can do Uberscewups? I know I've messed up some expensive new hardwares in my day...I still do occasionally:(

Hmmm, adding some categories and clearing some issues.

Score 1 point for.
Case cooling mods: i.e. blowholes, Hoot chutes etc. That you actually had to cut metal for, or construct.
PSU mods: for voltage stability or cooling.
Soft Modding: Either upgrading a vid card by soft mod or overclocking an optical drive with a soft mod.
AMD 64Bit overclock:
Intel 64bit overclock:
Dually overclock: any dually or SMP overclock.
Laptop overclock: any laptop overclock.

I'm not splitting up the XPs because I don't think there is a significant enough difference in the approach to overclocking bartons compared to palominos. To be "fair" on that I'd have to seperate every CPU category i.e. coppermines from tualatins, chompers from CXTs, P5 from P54 and P55C, and there's at least three in each even if they are just die shrinks. And if I do THAT I'll want to double up the points for each belt, so it probably won't get you further :D

Celerons 533 and below qualify as PII, 566 and above qualify as PIII, 1.5 and above qualify as P4. Via C3s -1 for buying one :D Thorton/Applebred Durons belong in the XP category, hmmm, morgans should do as well. Bridge mods to be claimed in the pin mod/wiretricking category. Bongs/Water towers can be claimed under homebrew phase change.

Congrats to TheCoolest and deathstar13 on the red belts and lets have a big BOOYAH! for NeoGeo for the black belt, well done! :D
 
Black belt

Pentium w/MMX (1)
K6-2 (1)
Duron-Tbird (more than 5)
Athlon XP's (more than 15)
Northbridge mod (more than 5)
Volt Reg mod (2- 8rda and A7N8X)
Vid card cooling mod (more than 5)
Vid card volt mod (1- 8500 and it died less than a week later)
Mobo volt mod (1- 8rda and it did not live very long afterwards)
Case mods- cut a window, cut a 92mm blowhole, remove normal grill for front and rear fans on several cases, Digidoc blue/red LED mod to LCD (now that is just trick)
PSU mods- added 60mm fans to 2 PSU's for cooling
softmods- 40x lite-on @ 48x via firmware, GF2TI @ Quadro 2 pro via softmod, 9700pro to 9800pro softmod

= 13


How about unlocking the ever tricky palominos via bridge-painting? For many, that was quite a challenge. I've connected more than 50 bridges with defogger paint!

well, let me have another point, as I have a case w/ 2 blow holes :D
Comp01.jpg


oh btw, b4 u freak out, that's my secondary PC :p, the main machine looks a bit better:)

9 point :D

stupid case design made me hang the PSU outside the case to allow an air duct.
All pics of both PCs: Here.

Oh yay, i've done a PSU mod and I have a 50mm blowhole, go me :)

Celerons 533 and below qualify as PII. Bongs/Water towers can be claimed under homebrew phase change.

Ok then add:

1pt -- for an intake/blowhole
1pt -- for PSU mod, changed fan and cut the ugly built in grille for unrestricted air flow
1pt -- for the waterchiller using phasechange
1pt -- for softmodding/firmwaremodding a Lite-On 24x CDRW into a 32x
1pt -- for Celeron 533 oc'd to 624

so that's 22pts total :D Anbody oc'ing 386s, dualies, or 64bit cpus should score more than that.
 
Case cooling mods: cut a blowhole on top of a case to run 2x120mm fans on my rad.
PSU mods: did a dually paralell 2x250wt sparkle psu mod.
Soft Modding: modded a 9700np to a 9700pro bios and 9800pro drivers.

+3 points
+10 points i had ,13 total woohoooo im a BLACK BELT now baby!

hmmm is kinda destined since my name is deathstar13 :D
i better stop ocing or ill have to bug a mod to change my name to deathstar14 with another mod/oc lol
 
Hmm.......let's see
Pentium MMX 233 @ 225 (75 x 3) and 266 (66 x 4) (1)
Celeron 333 @ 500 @ 2.3v didn't work that great, held it at 375 in the end (1)
Dual Celeron 400 @ 597 @ 2.1v (on an Abit BP6, ****ed me off to no end, wouldn't hit 600 regardless of voltage, temps never exceeded 45 C :p (1)
Athlon XP 1700+ @ 1800mhz (booted @ 2400, not stable at all, need better cooling :p ) (1)
This next one is a bit bogus, but made own retaining clips to mount a 92mm fan onto an SK7.........

so 4 or 5, depending on how it goes :D
