Everyone can do that, if you want to waste the money for it.

What's even more frustrating: the people you see there, making such overclocks, they lap the underside of the copper pipe just by hand instead of on a flat surface, they dont even lap the cpu, they put a huge heap of thermal compound on the cpu and then mount the thing on, right on the big heap of compond,....

That are the skills/knowlegde of the people that do such overclocks and get in the spotlight

^all to get their comp. to run for 10 minutes or something? hehe. I downloaded it to check it out though, would be great if there was a way to get a 24/7 system that fast.

If you read the article... they did a MAJOR modification to the motherboard to achive that overclock... as well as running it for over an hour.

At a lower clock... 4.7Ghz I think... they said it was stable for much longer. I will have to reread the article now.

Dieter@be · 12-31-2003, 03:04 PM

nope MMZ,
Asus did all that for them. (the "mods" of the motherboard).

So the only thing they had to do themselves is install the thing, fire it up and overclock it.
And as I said before they did a bad job at that, e.g. the huge heap of thermal paste, the lapping by hand instead of a flat surface, ...

(btw at 4700 it was rockstable, so they said.)

hmm... missed that... oh well... was fun to watch... Have a happy new year's celebration everyone!

Just an FYI, this is bunk. First of all they note that it was NOT stable. 4.7 was their stable mark, and secondly, h-oda and their friends have had a p4 running at 5+ ghz on LN2 'stabilly' since March. stabily = superpi 1m to them.

and not to forget they (the tom's guys) got a handpicked 3.4 (which is why they have to censurate (I hope this is the right word :-) ) the string of that cpu.
