I had a similar article on my personal blog, but I have added more content just for techreaction.net. Hope you like it. AMD hosted a fantastic event for the prime purpose of overclocking the Phenom II’s to the utter limits. Records were shattered, the liquid helium and nitrogen kept flowing, overclockers worked around the clock, camera’s flashed and filmed, and processors and motherboards were killed in the process.
