Trapped under ICE: Extreme FX-55 overclocking
 

When you have the fastest CPU (at stock speeds) on the planet, you just have to push it further, although phase change cooling can get your underway, LN2 is bound to give you the edge. Let´s pour a few litres on this blazingly fast A64 FX-55 to see how high it can fly.

Why do they call you Crazy?
I always thought you were MAD which is a cut below CRAZY.:)

3760Mhz is very Impressive, What happened to the cpu and the motherboard, Which one is dead or is It both are gone?:super: :super:

the author, charlie, doesn't know yet, I think he'll probably update this thread with info http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...4&page=1&pp=25

well he was leaning towards the motherboard because he placed a heatsink on the cpu, fired it up and the heatsink got warm.

fun but such a waste...

I would like a 24/7 3700 mhz athlon fx. :)
then I can hold from upgrading my pc till end 2006 :)

hahahaha!
yeah, 3.7GHz would be a good everyday cpu.

Hi, first post

I dont want to make it sound like a rant!

First off well done on a great round up review :super:

I know people have asked to see what these can do in the DFI board. Why? Get the high voltage soloutions like the OCZ VX if you have one of these boards. You will see the VX fly with the big volts!

I would like to see a what these sticks can do at their tightest timings 2-2-2 and a max of say 3volts at 1T.

Thanks
