QUOTE An overclocker by the name of TiN has claimed the world record for the fastest-running processor - a whopping 8.19GHz, using a £25 Intel Celeron D 347 chip cooled with liquid nitrogen. While the days of chasing big numbers in consumer PCs are long gone - multicore chips are now the done thing - a substantial community has built up around working on older chips to make them go as fast as they possibly can. To accomplish the dizzying 8.19GHz heights, TiN first heated the Celeron processor to more than 200 degrees to get rid of the integrated heat spreader. Then he stuck it into a modified DFI Lanparty UT P35-T2R motherboard, and drenched it in liquid nitrogen. The chip managed 8199.5MHz before conking out. That beat the previous record by a tiny 16.8MHz. The chip wasn't exactly stable - it wouldn't run at that speed day and night, just long enough to get a screenshot of the monitoring program (hit the images tab above). Still, it's an interesting example of an e-sport that could actually give useful results to motherboard and CPU manufacturers  Nice -------------------- Just remember case modding is like sex, 'it will always fit no matter what they say, it just takes a little work sometimes'

Intel's stats on the stock processor in question : http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=27974...9KJ,SL9KN,SL9XU
223Mhz FSB increase - around 265% increase 0.7volts increase - around 60% And thats on 65nm processing. Nice to see someone playing with the budget chips, and not just having intel/amd throw endless chips at the famous benchers to try and gain one-ups-manship t'other. -------------------- ~ Intel Core2 Quad Q6600 ~ Shuttle SP35P2 ~ 8Gb Kingston Ultra Low Profile ~ ATI HD5770 ~ |

Legend. Man can you imagine if a chip like that was Gaming stable! Would love to watch it run through latest 3dmark!
