What about a boxed "WOF" - Version with DICEPOT? :p:
So i hope Phenom II also works great with Dice Cooling...

@Sampsa

Great Job and THX ;)

Some pictures

I got back home yesterday without my suitcase. All my new hardware is inside that bag. I hope, that this sweet Phenom II X4, which did 6.1GHz in Crysis time demo, is still inside when I get it back :eek:

Phenom II X4 overclocking is so easy, cause you don't have to control temperatures at all. Just make sure your pot is full all the time. Great job AMD :up:

There is some new problems with this kind of OC. Insulation must be perfect or else your session will be really short. We run few hours with -180c temperatures and half of the board was totally frozen. Luckily setup didn't crash or die. This time you need to put fans blowing warm air on motherboard, so there won't be too much condensation.

I will start my tests soon and so will Sampsa. We will give you all information we can, but bench results are still under NDA.

Here is some pictures from the event:

After some testing we found out, that our insulation was cracked

Insulation must be heavy

You want a serious answer? What ever it will run without smoking..

Nice pictures SF3D; good to see XS well represented. You're pretty calm about your lost baggage :( Looking forward to see your numbers once you guys get to study the nuances of this chip; though with what you guys are saying it seems quite straight forward and easy. Goodluck, and bring that 7Ghz home! :up:

This is great news :clap:
Now Macci have made ATI(AMD) GPU's top notch, now he is doin' the same with the CPU's.
Well, I like to think this. :)

Nice pictures!

i just notice you guys using 2 boards. One is GIGABYTE and the other one is AMD reference ( i guess). So.. which one better for Phenom Overclocking ?

I hope, that I get my bag back really soon. I can't wait to test these Phenoms on my own :up:

Yes. There was a lot of XS members in there. OC is really easy this time :up:

WE all have to thank Macci for many different things. AMD is lucky to have him.

I hope we can easily remove the IHS still....

Petri, are you sure you really wanna blow warm air onto ice and melt it? That just asking for trouble.
Better off insulating totally and letting it freeze up, while passing air over the pot to blow away the mist

Yep.. warm air is good when you do it from the start. If you first let the motherboard freeze up, then warm air will give you troubles for sure.

We didn't have any problems, if there was some fans around the mobo.

We are trying to get the CPU-Z screenshots from HDD, which is in Boston at the moment. I think Sampsa will post them as soon as possible. We can't validate our results yet (NDA)

Jeeze I hate these kinds of threads... somebody got X clock on X CPU using cooling thats impractical thus, nobody will see these kinds of speeds on a CPU 24\7 stable for a very, very long time. So whats that clock good for exactly? Nothing you say? I'll go back to sleeping then.

Thanks for posting guys:D

Sampsa, SF3D when we can see bench results ?

it's after 08.01 or before that ?

6ghz @ 3d smeels like hmm, p...ie yyy apple-pie :D

surely you're just trolling, but what on earth do you expect to see on a thread in xtreme overclocking?
