As a benchmarker, the biggest milestone you will come across is your first plunge below -100C. Liquid Nitrogen is -196C by nature, and to utilize this exotic cooling material, you need a fantastic evaporator, or more commonly known as a pot. Much like dry ice, cooling the processor down this cold will decrease impedance that [...]

I was really surprised to see what these lovely sticks did today. This is the Mushkin Ridgeback 1600MHz 6-8-6-24 kit. On AMD, it is extremely difficult to run any ram above 2000MHz. Well today I broke a personal record and clocked these sticks all the way up to 2240MHz 8-10-6-15-1T. I used my trusty Gigabyte [...]

Taking advantage of winter, I just broke 5GHz with cold air on my 1090T. Enjoy Video – 5GHz Phenom II X6 1090T Cold Air Phenom II X6 1090T Corsair H50 Watercooler (Performs Like High End Air) Gigabyte 890FXA-UD5 5GHz Core #1, 3000NB, 2000MHz 7-9-6 Ram Validation Post On My Blog

I’ve been using this Dell Optiplex for awhile now. It acts as my spare rig to use while I’m benching my other one, and I also use it for word processing and other simple tasks. I was just looking at the CPU-Z screen out of curiosity today, when I realized that an overclock on this [...]

In part one, I showed the unboxing of the pot I received for testing. This is a very large, and well-designed evaporator mainly used for LN2 and LHe. I decided I’d just recreate the thread with part one and two so you guys can see it all in one place: I know some of you [...]

Hey guys, here is my most recent run. As you can see, I improved my results from my last run slightly. I also took a lot of video of the setup and of how I do my sessions. This is to give you an idea of what it is like to benchmark on dry ice. [...]

Introduction Over the recent months I have watched and observed as the Phenom II CPU found its niche within various enthusiast communities and online forums. Users have been provided with an excellent, all around, 45nm AMD quadcore. However, there is one factor that people still find confusing and unclear. Overclocking the Phenom II. Why are [...]
