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

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

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:

Here is some Phenom II X4 chips

Here is Team Finland (Sampsa & SF3D)


Some ammo

Full steam


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

Insulation must be heavy

Ram sticks are totally covered with ice after few hours



Then some group pictures
