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.

    i think the reason they didn't overclocking the ram is that AFAIK no motherboard has a clock multiplier for anything other than the processor. the only reason you can overclock a CPU is because the motherboard allows you to change the CPU clock speed (multiplier).

    I've never before seen someone troll for "informative". What does it feel like to be such a whore? Does your mother know? Are you proud of it?
