« on: February 23, 2006, 09:51:18 pm »

 Hehe, do any of you guys overclock?

I've OC'ed almost everything I own, including my wireless mouse. I normally don't. My desktop makes lead look unstable, and I like that. Sure, I could eke a few more FPS out of this beast... but that'a few more FPS. Nah, I'll upgrade first. And, like I said, this thing's a frickin' rock...

Oh, wait, the Ram's oc'ed, and the FSB is oced. I forgot about that. :P.

Still, I generally don't.... much.

Guess what brian . . . you just earned the underwear.
Merciful Father, I have squandered my days with plans of many things. This was not among them. But at this moment, I beg only to live the next few minutes well. For all we ought to have thought, and have not thought; all we ought to have said, and have not said; all we ought to have done, and have not done; I pray thee God for forgiveness.

Pfft, please. I talk to inanimate objects all the damn time - this is nothing new.

You need professional help.

You're next.

Simply put, you OC the laser, and the transmitter. It's pretty simple... Just replace the right resistors, so you over voltage the transmitter, and replace the oscilator with a slightly faster one, put it back together, and pray. After my second attempt, the batteries drained in a few hours, but I could use the mouse while I was across the street, and it had some crazy resolution. Sure, it was useless as a mouse... but as a conversation piece it worked wonders!

And, Cae, I think we all need profesional help.
