Overclocking/Overclocking Tests by massman @ 2007-05-06

We overclock a golden oldie, the Athlon 3000+ was a favorite among hardware enthusiasts back in May 2005, now-a-days it´s Core 2 Duo, but with the help of some Dry Ice we can extract a bit more power from this AMD CPU. Read on to find out if we reach our 100% overclocking goal.

Cleaning up

Assessing the situation

So I ran out of dry ice the second day (wasted about 5kg the first day and had 4kg the second day), time to dismantle the system and see how the isolation did.

Ice on the base, good to see the layer of isolation did its job.
