LN2 Overclocking At Alternate – Hello 8Ghz CPU!

Tradeshow & OC events by piotke @ 2009-05-25

Last weekend Madshrimps was the main guest at Alternate; two of our experienced overclockers demoed their skills during live overclocking sessions. On Friday CPU speeds over 8Ghz were reached, on Saturday video cards were tortured. Read on to find out if world records were broken.

Pictures of the action !

Action !

Our camera batteries weren’t charged Friday, sorry for that, but here are some pictures from Saturday.

Besides overclocking, Intel prepared 2 Core i7 965 setups for some gaming action.

And look who showed up. It's Jort, former compressor and phase change cooling magician.

Running the 9600 GT based system.

Controling the Videocard temperature. Making sure it wouldn't go below -50°C, as that caused the system to crash.

Getting the last drops of LN2 out of the dewar.
Big thanks to Alternate for letting us bench at their place this weekend, and for their support.

I will post later this week some picture of the first day, seemd that there some circulating.

Comment from Rutar @ 2009/05/25

Shouldn't LN2 only be handled with safety gloves?

Comment from piotke @ 2009/05/25

Pouring LN2 over your hands does nothing. As the warmth of your skin makes a bit of LN2 evaporate, and case a fine thin gas layer beween hand and LN2. It's just when you punt your hand IN LN2 that it starts to hurt.

You do know Madshrimps will be bombarded when the 8.3G result is released

Comment from jmke @ 2009/05/26

depends

most main(er)stream sites don't rehash similar news quickly

Comment from Massman @ 2009/05/26

It's good to see them state "second highest". That means they look at Hwbot and not Ripping.

Comment from jort @ 2009/05/26

Jort saw that it was allright

fun to drop by

long time i saw some heavy benching

--> I'll be damned, ...

Comment from wutske @ 2009/05/28

It's safer without gloves, isn't it ? Or am I wrong about that ?

Comment from jmke @ 2009/05/28

the same as driving faster with your car is safer

rofl, no gloves needed for ln2

Comment from jort @ 2009/05/28

ln2 is totaly not dangerous without gloves ....

Comment from Massman @ 2009/05/28

Gloves prevent you from pouring with a fine touch; I'd say it's even more dangerous to use gloves than no gloves

Comment from jmke @ 2009/05/28

Celeron CPU op naar 8Ghz!

They think the Celeron was bought at Alternate off the shelve at random. I have a feeling this is not quite true

Comment from Massman @ 2009/05/29

If it only was that easy ...
