good lord!
Holy MOLY! 800 pounds.... wow... serious enthusiasts out there?
By the way the predator casing by acer? Me want = )
That it?
Not the speed I mean the article.....
its bull, unless they show it runnin 100% on all cores then they have not broken the 5ghz mark, anyone can boot with faster clocks than the CPU can cope with, but as soon as you load it up it will lock or crash.
5ghz stable would be nice, i bet they cant do that.
only 57C sounds a bit low
5Ghz on the dearest part hardly seems an achievment tbh. The real accolades should got to those running 920's at 4+Ghz etc.
Nah, I had mine running at 4Ghz inside 20 minutes of getting a big cooler with no problems. I have backed it off to 3.6 for normal running though because I got nervous about the 1.38+ volts that I was feeding it. I am still in the process of bring the CPU voltage down gradually. Currently sitting at 1.25. Once I have got that sorted I might have another go at winding it up but taking a bit more care and time than I did last time. Also wait until after a LAN party that is happening soon. Don't want to break it before that :)Quote:

No!
Look carefully at the dial - that's 57 degrees DELTA-T.Quote:

But easy with 2% cpu load - I would like to see what happens when they run some real world programs (like Folding@Home) on it. :o
