It's even more crazy that they managed to do this without disabling any of the cores. I wonder if the OS parked any of these cores. This blurb doesn't mention if they put the CPU under any load, or if the 6531MHz was achieved without load.
Also, liquid nitrogen? Is this common in the overclocking community now?
- bpicolo 11y agoIn the extreme-overclocking community yeah. (There are tournaments for this sort of thing afaik)
- vlan0 11y agoYep. Liquid Nitrogen is the go-to coolant for overclocking records/competition.
