Phenom 3Ghz demo surrounded by FUN

jmke · 31st July 2007, 10:26

Getting back to the tech itself, there were some interesting things to make note of. First is the whole cherry picking tempest in a teapot. When asked, multiple people told me that the parts were sorted but not heavily. There were a few tested to get a 3.0, but not the oft rumoured hundreds or thousands. The next thing is that it was either heavily cooled so it could be overvolted to the moon and clocked absurdly high. This again is not true. It was running an aluminium HSF with a few heat pipes and a bog stock fan.
