Big ups to the overclocking brain trust over at AMD for reaching out and being a really great host. How many times did I say this is so !@#$%^& sick in the last three days?? TOO MANY!
A ton of effort went into these results guys, save the drama about ES samples for someone else's thread. This is about AMD redefining what extreme overclocking is with phenom II platform. How about pots designed to stomp @max full to the top with LN2? How about cold booting a system at -235c? How about over 100% overclock in 3dmark 2006? How about phenom "overclockers" edition cpus that can ALL do evil things when frozen.....we can only dream right? ya never know.
There is still some unfinished business as far as I am concerned, so maybe I can go back again and finish up a few things . Just not enough time and helium to do it all. Stuff goes quick, 300l in 2-3 hrs. All benching done with no affinity stuff or disabling cores, just pure 4 core overclocking.
ASUS CROSSHAIR III and M4A79T-deluxe motherboards
AMD Phenom II 955 ES LHe4 cooled
CORSAIR DOMNATOR GT and 1800CL-7's
AMD 4870X2's in quad X-fire stock clocks & cooling
Thats one of the unfinished biz parts . The other is that I got another cpu stable on helium at 6550mhz+ in 06' and 6612mhz in 05' right before we ran out for the last time.
I love to see AMD's new architecture changing the world of cooling, and I really want to see AMD start taking over Intel in some of the benchies. Competition at the highest performance level is very good for consumers, and for innovation as well

Great stuff Vince I figured LN2 on the GPUs would be too much to tackle in that one session. Awesome scores man, too bad we don't have Brian's CPU, he was only 100MHz lower on LN2 Can't wait to hear about round II.

1) Normal ES: Available to partners and press before the product actually launches. These are usually close to retail parts, maybe one stepping/node before retails. From my experience (I've had access to AMD & Intel ES CPUs before the official launch around 8 years) normal ES CPUs are actually usually worse than retails because manufacturing process develops all the time and retails keep getting better. Every Phenom II press sample (not even marked as ES but couple weeks earlier than retail parts) I've tested so far have been worse than normal retails.
Been waiting to read about this, very impressive 05 / 06 considering the time allotted and so on. I'm waiting to congratulate you when you go back to finish up proper
Truely awesome! That SuperPi 1M is totally wicked at 6755MHz!
I'm just wondering where the 37400 for 06 in this pic came from:
Is that one of your back ups Vince?
How was the Crosshair III compared to the M4A79T deluxe, is it worth it getting this board?
