Topic Overclocking World Record "8GHZ Project"

-HAL- · June 20th, 2007

I just stumbled over this interesting thread about a new overclocking world record attempt..

It's quite interesting to see what they're coming up with just to get a few extra Mhz out of the CPU.
But this doesn't look very practical for normal home use, but it's quite impressive/interesting anyway..

We here in Team NexGen are at Nexgen Consulting trying to break the world record right now, with (hopefully) a bit of help from koolance, and some LN2 or LHe4. We have a P5B deluxe, 631 cedarmill (ES), and 2 X 512MB Micron D9GKX Memory modules. So far we have hit 5.5ghz no problem but beyond 1.4v Vcore Air, water, and even our Prometeia Capped out under the heat load generated by the P4 631. But 4ghz at 1v was pretty cool. The use of Liquid Nitrogen is our best bet at breaking the 8179.89 MHz INTEL Pentium 4 631 (Cedar Mill) world record and bringing the title back to the good ole U.S.A.

What about liquid nitrogen? couldn't you rig up something that stays at a cool 77.2 K? may be far fetched but i would think that would take you pretty far up there. Granted i don't know what delivery method to use.

It seems like they are going to try liquid nitrogen now.
There are some interesting reading about that further down that thread.
