[Blog]|Liquid Heaven| – |1090T X6 Under Liquid Nitrogen| – |6.6GHz+| 3 Comments By Slappa on June 11, 2011 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 opposes electron flow. This allows for a more efficient circuit, promoting greater stability and overclocking headroom. After 2 years of research, waiting, gather...
[Blog] 2240MHz Mushkin Ridgeback RAM W/ Phenom II X6 1090T & 890FXA-UD5 0 Comments By Slappa on December 9, 2010 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 890FXA-UD5 & Phenom II X6 1090T Setup. I did not expect these results at all, actually I did not expect my IMC to allow speeds this high. Turns out I have a great hardware combina...
|Second Frost| – |Overclocking AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Under Dry Ice| 5.568GHz 0 Comments By Slappa on October 24, 2010 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. The Video: |Second Frost| – |Overclocking AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Under Dry Ice| 5.568GHz The Results: 32m SuperPi Personal Best – 13m 15.140s This was my 32m run. I cut 15 seconds on my previous result from my last dry ice run. 1m SuperPi ...
|Slappa’s Slushbox| – |Phenom II X6 1090T| 5 Comments By Slappa on July 13, 2010 Long story short. Today I got pretty bored. I’ve been wanting to put my 1090T under dry ice for quite some time now. However, my bench partner has been busy with work so I could not obtain the dry ice pot. So I was thinking of ways I could cool down my processor, in order to play around with my new 6 core. Since I own a Corsair H50 AIO Watercooling kit, I decided to have some fun. I hung the radiator in an old lunch cooler and filled it to the brim with ice. I also threw a bit of water i...

[Blog] Kingston HyperX DDR3 ‘LoVo’ OC Testing 0 Comments By wez on May 31, 2010 Kingston HyperX DDR3 ‘LoVo’ OC testing Just a quick look at a memory kit from Kingston, namely a set from their somewhat new ‘LoVo’ series. Judging by the name its a low voltage kit, so not a kit directly aimed at the enthusiast market. But word has it they might be worth a look after all! According to their site, Kingston currently offers three versions of their ‘LoVo’ kits, 1333, 1600 and 1866 MHz. But there also seem to be an 1800 MHz kit listed at some shops, possible a replaceme...
DDR3 @ 2022MHz…pfft. CAS 6? Wow… AMD!?! No way! 1 Comment By EnJoY on May 20, 2010 Chew* does it again! There I am, waiting for my eyes to bleed as I sit in my cubicle, and suddenly my old pal Chew* delivers this little gem. Apparently Brian has been very busy tweaking his Corsair GTX2’s on Asus’s new Crosshair IV Formula. While playing around with timings and ganged mode, Chew* was able to get his Corsair GTX2 2250MHz C8 sticks all the way to 2022MHz at CAS 6 with just 1.725v! Additional important specs include an AMD Phenom II X6 1090T, air cooling on every...
[Blog] AMD Phenom II Six Core 1090T vs Core i7 920 Full Comparison 159 Comments By thebanik on May 6, 2010 Introduction Eight months ago AMD introduced their 2nd generation of Phenom 2 X4 Processors that was designed to use the AM3 socket while remaining backwards compatible with previous AM2/AM2+ motherboards. Although the Phenom II X4 965 was AMD’s flagship desktop processor, it wasn’t the performance that glued users on to it but rather the value for money it brought to the table. Alongwith processors like X 2 550/555 which could be unlocked to 4 cores depending upon the combin...
