A local pc shop is building my pc and will hyper-clock my core 2 duo 6300. I have never heard of hyper-clocking. Can someone tell me what it is?

It means they're doing something that you could have done, and charging you for it. :?
 
You could very well be right about that. Nothing on paper? Then nothing in fact, except maybe a builder getting a few extra dollars.

Yeah... receiving a strong olfactory stimulation of fermented pisces.

OP, can you give us any more info? What the builder is claiming? Anything in writing, etc.
 
Get whatever they want to do in writing, including them covering the cost of components if they fail within about 8 years (and make sure the price is at time of purchase, not current market value).

Mediocre overclock it may very well be... just like paying Gateway $100 to change you X6800/QX6700's multiplier to 12x... you could save $100 just by hitting a few keys and rebooting.
 
Hyperclocking is just a word that tries to make overclocking sound cooler. The word was first coined by OverDrivePC, who trademarked it, I believe. Perhaps you should inform your local PC shop that they could be sued.
 
Like Golden Eye before it the original Halo rocked! I bought an Xbox just to play it and once it came out on pc sold it.
 
There is a PC shop near my house that offers overclocking to Core 2 Duo rigs, and they charge about 50 bucks. Pretty lame OC too, E6300 -> 2.14. E6400 -> 2.4. You get the idea.

I think I could do that in about ten minutes, included the start and resart. I'd like that job, about $300 an hour before taxes.
 
I certainly wouldn't mind either... $50 to change 267 to 305... I'd happily do that! Might as well charge $50 to go from 305 to 343, etc!

I'd like that job, about $300 an hour before taxes.Just to make it look like you're actually earning the money(if the cuctomer is watching over your back), enter every setting in BIOS, then just hit "ESC". Do it fast so it looks impressive, and all the keystrokes will have the customer "awestruck" at your efficiency with the BIOS. 😀 hehehe.

Also tell him that BIOS stands for BIOnic Software, and that each computer is a living thing. "If you treat it bad... I'll know." :tongue:

Wow, for the price of the E6300 and the $50 charge to OC it to E6400 level, you could buy an E6400 and have $10 left over to put towards other things (not much, but every little bit counts) :lol: I wonder if they get a lot of customers who take that option?

I guess it's only about half the price difference between the E6400 and E6600, making it semi-worthwhile if you have a paralyzing fear of doing things for yourself. No, wait, I lied. Not even a little worthwhile.
 
If you could unlock locked 2mb L2 cache, the E6300 should always be able to beat any C2D processor while overclocked... why? You have more bandwidth to feed the processor with...

11*266=2926
2926/7=418
418>266

Anyways... I would rather overclock myself ANY day... especially $50 to spend to get the preformance of a +$40 processor... thats just stupid.
 
Who ever said I was charged anything?

You're not tool_462, are you? Well? Are you!? I didn't think so!

So, in answer to your question, nobody said you were charged anything. Or, if someone did, it wasn't me.
