P4 2.2GHz Overclocked to 3.5GHz

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the never-underestimate-the-power-of-nitrogen dept.

GraveD sent linkage to a site explaining how a homemade nitrogen cooling system overclocked a P4 from 2.2Ghz to an incredible 3.5ghz. There's plenty of stuff to poke at over there.

They claim it is a new World Record, and it sure looks like they beaten another O/C'd Pentium 4 submitted earlier today on slashdot. (Summary in English in the end)."

    So my money says that they took care of the big holes

    Oh really? A buffer overflow isn't a big hole? Buffer overflow bugs can be prevented by a middle-school hacker. This is elementary stuff. Doesn't anybody believe in putting limits on characters? This is simple to prevent.

    Why are their STILL companies that fall victim to buffer overflow holes?!

    Hey Taco, next time you link a Japanese only site, specify it so. I have little time to look at nothing more than a booklet of pretty pictures.
