AMD Overclocks New Phenom II X4 To 7 GHz
CWmike writes "Advanced Micro Devices on Thursday introduced the latest member of its Phenom II X4 family of high-performance quad-core CPUs, which the No. 2 chip maker said it had run as fast as 7 GHz in extreme overclocking tests. Out of the box, the new X4 955 Black Edition, which is aimed at gamers and hobbyists, runs at 3.2 GHz, giving it similar performance to Intel's fastest desktop chips at lower cost, AMD says. The company was able to more than double the CPU's speed during its tests using extreme cooling technology that is not safe at home, said Brent Barry, an AMD product manager. The Web site Ripping.org notes that hobbyists with early access to the X4 955 chip have been able to clock it at up to 6.7 GHz. AMD said the chip was safe with fan cooling at up to 3.8 GHz."
So what am I supposed to do with the tank of liquid nitrogen I have in my back yard?

With new devices on the horizon being capable of recharging via heathttp://hardware.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09/04/20/1915223, how long till we're able to capture the heat from processors and use them to cut power requirements for computers exponentially?

So they got (m)Ann Coulter to plop her bony, frigid ass on the thing?
It's not nice to make fun of the undead.
With her saggy ass, I had her pegged for a better insulator. Coulter, however, looks like a much better cooling fin.
Yeah, but can it run Windows 7? //Burn the Karma baby!

With that much helium for coolant, all your audio will sound like Alvin and the Chipmunks

Which I think is a CPU I would prefer to stay away from...

I personally like using liquid oxygen to cool my pc. It makes running dailies more thrilling knowing that I'm just a few centigrade away from leveling the block.

I stopped at this point, violently threw up, and now thanks to you I'm going to have to wash the mental image of Hillary making a pegging video out of my brain with a bullet.
Could someone help me? I just tried licking my processor, and now I can't get unstuck...

Oh Snap!
From TFA:
To cool a PC for 90 minutes requires 250 liters of liquid helium inside a aluminum vat the "size of a VW Beetle,"
Once again the "technical" journalism community reminds us of that indispensable unit of volume measurement, the Volkswagen Beetle. As a purist, however, I must ask if that is in "new" Beetles or "old" Beetles.

You just got troll'd!

No. Make children. With little chance you'll get twins, then get (expensive) mirroring when using nitrogen. Having wife redundancy in active/active mode is (still) forbidden in our western countries.
