Phenom II X4 @ +6 GHz by Team Finland

[starledXpress]

Oh YESSSS!!! Next issue that should be taken care of is... CONDENSATION. Makers must start making insulated motherboards with plastic and armaflex included in the bundle.

Same problem here. ATM 3D Mark 06 is running ( X3 8750 BE @ 3,5 Ghz still testing) with chilled Water sub Zero...
What about a boxed "WOF" - Version with DICEPOT?
So i hope Phenom II also works great with Dice Cooling...

@Sampsa

Great Job and THX

Regards!

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:

Macci, Sampsa and Pete

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

awesome event with perfect presentation and results - thanks for the video and pics Looks like you had a great time all together Hope that you get your case back asap to show me what your one does on air

nice photos

good to see you fellas had fun
hey SF3D nice jeans what are they

[JasonDTM]

Sorry for that,but some people wanted to know what's considered "safe" 24/7 Vcore for air cooling.I gave my opinion,it may be i'm wrong .For definite answer we need thorough report from independent review (temperatures reported in OCed mode) and we need AMD's tech docs .

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

Very nice scores, pictures and video!

Thanks for sharing!

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!

Good Job AMD Cant wait for release

[TL1000S]

This is great news
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!

[Jaction]

Cool! very Cool!

AMD have no Coldbug this time ! It`s a very good news for every OCers ! haha

[Benny Lodewijk]

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 ?

[tiborrr]

Haha, FUGGER on AMD? It must be April Fools!

boys, quick snap it up into your sig before someone else takes it

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

nice photos

Haha.. these jeans are from Jack & Jones (Model is Muse)

Very nice scores, pictures and video!

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

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

Both did exactly same

Haha, FUGGER on AMD? It must be April Fools!

Haha.. It was a surprise to see him there. Too bad we were a bit too exhausted to go out and have some party

[T_M]

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)

[StrangerS]

AMD come back

[Ket]

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.

LOL.. jeez some people just dont seem to get that this is just a fun hobby, im sure more beanchies will be shared until time progresses this was just sneak peek, lil bit of eye candy for the forum members

[stunned_guy]

Very great scores !!!!! I love AMD

[dinos22]

congrats on another mindless post Ket
good going

[charged3800z24]

Great Pics..looked like a lot of fun. Did I missed the link to the video everyone is speaking of? Or is it the AM UnProccessed video?

Thanks for posting guys

[FatAlbert]

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

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