Intel's Superchilled Test Rig

Posted by timothy on from the now-that's-offsides dept.

Barence writes "Last week, PC Pro issued a challenge to see whose PC could render a 3D graphics benchmark in the shortest time. The competition was won by an entrant with a rather unfair advantage: Intel. The processor giant's superchilled rig is overclocked to nearly 5GHz. As PC Pro explains: 'The rig itself uses phase-change cooling: in other words it's attached to a chuffing great freezer, which I believe is the big box on the right of the photo. That yellow meter with the readout is showing the temperature of its output: yes, that's minus 40 degrees Celcius.'"

    C=5/9*(F-32)

    9C=5(F-32)

    where does C=F=X?

    9x=5x-160

    4x=-160

    x=-40
