Pentium 4 631 Overclocked to 8 GHz

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the smokin dept.

Andreas writes "There are always those who are willing to take things one step further than others. A group of guys known as OC Team Italy is one of them. They recently pushed an Intel Pentium 4 631 to over 8000MHz using an ASUS P5B with modified voltage regulation and liquid nitrogen. Overclocking is cool and all, but this extends beyond what some would perhaps call useful. Still a milestone though."

    I don't think there is anyone over the age of 5 in the United States who isn't aware of the negative health problems related to smoking. Perhaps there was an issue once long ago with people not being aware of the dangers (like the 50's?) but in modern times there is more false information and overblown statistics in the anti-smoking campaign.

    Yup.. I was wrong in the end, not him. Thus proving once more than moderators mod you up if you sound right, although you may be wrong. The original poster got modded down... Ain't that ironic :P

    Of course maybe it'll be regulated out in time as people hit the clarification posts.
