No way 1.537v to get to 5.6Ghz, You sure about that? I want his chip lol

 

[Silluete]

5.6 Gigs?!! wow i even can't past 3.5G without being unstable. *sob*

 

[Silluete]

By the way before i forget, i hope toms feature it at case and cooling articles. It's about time that section get new blood.

I wonder if his choice of gpu played a roll. The 4350 would consume very little wattage leaving more power resources for the CPU.

Nice job!

Here is a link to a youtube video of some people in Los Vegas on 1/10/09. They ran 3DMark 05 and got a score of over 45,000 and Overclocked it to 6.5 GHZ. They used Liquid Helium. http://www.youtube.comwatch?v=wB0JodKgZ0A.
They used the Phenom II 940 and broke the world record.

 

[c_l_roberts]

Sorry. That link was on this page.. My bad.

 

[p2am1756]

Awesome! I had no doubt Jank could pull this off! Looking forward to more record breaking results from him.

 

[eddieroolz]

Wow, a 5.6 out of a 3! Very nice!

 

[scarpa]

I wish I would have a Phenom that runs at 5.6ghz.

 

[jerryt74332]

I guess this is good for phenom, my I7 dose wprime 32M in 6.5 sec also, at 3.8ghz on air. I am now a little sad for owning a phenom II 940 also.

Well, there was that big tank of liquid nitrogen that he had too.

Impressive, I’m jealous!

I wonder where a person purchases a big tank of liquid nitrogen like that?! Like what kind of permits would you need?

 

[piper5177]

You can rent them from companies like Airgas or Praxair.

Get a credit account at a welding supply company or any AirGas business and you too can play with liquid nitrogen

renting the tank is about $50 a month and filling the tank is about $200 each fill, I went through 3 of these tanks ( one a day ) to get the 5.6GHz on the MAD Phenom II 940BE and tune it stable enough to reach the above scores.

Interesting...

I may just look into this for fun, I don’t want a jumbo tank like that, but just a little would be fun to play with.

 

[cdnsteve]

I'm sure his insurance company would love to see a blow-torch and huge bottle of liquid nitrogen in his place....

 

[Guest]

Liquid Nitrogen is a fire suppressant

 

[kingofsales]

That is absolutely amazing - congrats
btw i love the liquid nitrogen
