P4 2.80GHz Overclocked to 3.917GHz

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the colder-faster-better dept.

vwbus writes "The guys at Muropaketti have taken a brand new Pentium 4 2.80GHz chip, bought a pint or so of liquid nitrogen and overclocked it to an astounding 3.917GHz. The Finns describe how they put together the system on their web page, and luckily there are a whole set of pictures which demonstrate exactly what they've done, so you don't need to understand Finnish to figure it out. The pictures show wisps of nitrogen evaporating from the jar sitting on top of the CPU, and they publish some SiSoft figures to demonstrate the kind of speeds they attained." The folks at Muropaketti have had a lot of practice with this cooling method.

    That's incredible--however they're using Windows, so I bet MS Office still takes hours to load ;)

    Yes. Ha-ha. Office apps take at least 3-4 seconds to load on my super-charged 600Mhz PC. Seriously, how did this tat get modded up?
