    AMD employees macci and Pete Hardman worked together with other system. They ran into problems during not-so-serious LN2 competition in the event so we claimed easy victory with 6 GHz Crysis They beat us with air cooling (3,908 GHz vs 3,940 GHz).

    Dinos, you and Moloko should do us a favor and test for max air 24/7. It seems to me that based on Sampsa's comments, 4Ghz air 24/7 may be out of reach for the average user?

    We tested 4 chips in 30 mins (had 5 available).. you can do the math how much time was used per chip (heatsink installation, windows vista loading, settings clockspeeds) to reach 3,9 GHz in Crysis

    Sampsa: you can tell me about max reachable on H2O?

    ROFL Didn't you read what Sampsa clearly stated ?
    Only on air (and that was really quick), and on LN2 ... No further testing, was there wasn't so much time

    Have some patience people, we are going to see first 24/7 numbers soon

    Dread77 has told us multiple times that the clocks he keeps posting are 24/7 on air.
    Particle's First Rule of Online Technical Discussion:
    As a thread about any computer related subject has its length approach infinity, the likelihood and inevitability of a poorly constructed AMD vs. Intel fight also exponentially increases.

    Rule 1A:
    Likewise, the frequency of a car pseudoanalogy to explain a technical concept increases with thread length. This will make many people chuckle, as computer people are rarely knowledgeable about vehicular mechanics.

    Rule 2:
    When confronted with a post that is contrary to what a poster likes, believes, or most often wants to be correct, the poster will pick out only minor details that are largely irrelevant in an attempt to shut out the conflicting idea. The core of the post will be left alone since it isn't easy to contradict what the person is actually saying.

    Rule 2A:
    When a poster cannot properly refute a post they do not like (as described above), the poster will most likely invent fictitious counter-points and/or begin to attack the other's credibility in feeble ways that are dramatic but irrelevant. Do not underestimate this tactic, as in the online world this will sway many observers. Do not forget: Correctness is decided only by what is said last, the most loudly, or with greatest repetition.

    Remember: When debating online, everyone else is ALWAYS wrong if they do not agree with you!

    Yes, but those screenies are from an AMD retail shop in Greece with all vital information blacked out! Sorry, I'm the skeptic here, remember?

    It's not just a retail shop in Greece. OKTABIT is an exclusive representative in Greece. Retail shops buy from OKTABIT...

    Anyway, frequency is somewhere between 3,8 and 3,9. Needed Vcore for mentioned frequency is already known, temps as well.
    I have mentioned it several times, I wouldn't compromise my credibility in here for just a CPU.
    But from what I see, all rumours have been verified to the last MHz. So there is no point in trying to advertise something that advertises itself.
    It's a great CPU, the best AMD CPU up to now, it will compete with Yorkfield CPU's and when AM3 platform is out, then things will be much better.
