Dry Ice is composed of frozen CO2 that is at a very chilly temperature of -78.5C. This frozen CO2 sublimes at atmospheric pressure, making it one of the best cold substances to use for extreme overclocking. Yesterday, a friend and I (he goes by the alias “Addies”) did a fantastic 9 hour bench run. The [...]

Ever wondered why you can’t get past 3.6GHz on that new Phenom II? Some may claim it is a bad chip, but I for one, can guarantee you that is almost always not the case. I have been overclocking this chip for weeks and studying how it acts while doing so. I may not be [...]

It was almost exactly a month ago that I took the Classified and its 965 occupant over the 5GHz mark and under seven minutes in 32M SuperPi. Well today, I took the baby nephew of the 965 – an Intel Core i7 920 – well over 5GHz and even further below seven minutes in 32M [...]

We received our first retail Core i7 920 D0 stepping from our supplier and we have been testing it thoroughly on Asus Rampage2 Gene. Our 1st Core i7 D0 ES sample was really good but not as good as the new retail wich resulted in a final CPU speed of 4.802MHz with only 1.576v and [...]

This is a Phenom II 945 from Japan.  The sample I have was sent directly from AMD as a review sample. I had it up to 4090MHz at around 1.44 volts, all done with air.  It seems to be on par with what is achievable with the 955.  Check out the two shots below to [...]
