Unfortunately I have no continuous supply of liquid nitrogen, nor do I suspect that a 32nm CPU will live a long happy life at 1.956V.
"If you do want to overclock your Trinity APU remember to disable Turbo Mode in the BIOS otherwise your results will be throttled, say AMD."
So you can't turbo/offset OC like with intel? If so that's a real shame. I dread to think how much electricity I wasted running my old phenom II 955 at full overclock whenever it was on.
I'm pretty sure you could still run cool n quiet (so it clocked down whilst idle), just not Turbo. I don't think you can change the Turbo offset at all, so presumably if you leave that mode on it will try to ramp up the voltage and clockspeed, hammer through the TDP limit (as you're already overvolted), and panic throttle the CPU...
My car runs much much faster when Liquid Nitrogen is introduced as well. Not for long though :-) Irrelevant news IMO. What's next? Pentium G or Celeron beating this record? Nissan Micra racing with Nissan GTR in a freefall?
isnt there anything like phenom msr tweeker for this ? much more control over the voltage and clock speeds

Aaaannnd it's still slower than most of the Intel chips on the market...
I've never gotten this MHz-penis thing, surely it's far more skilled to achieve the highest benchmark scores than just simple MHz, tweaking every part of the system instead of just making one bit a little chilly and going for the burn...
Whilst liquid nitrogen is obviously not practical for a machine in regular home use, water cooling is and should result in some impressive overclocks.
Ouch, 1.616V for 5.1Ghz is a chip killer surely!? I suppose it depends on the temps. Impressive GHz but have we not already seen these numbers with Sandy-bridge?
Not sure about these chips, but in general AMD chips are faaar more voltage resistant than their intel counterparts.
And nope, highest SB is 6050mhz I think.
Check hwbot for more info
It's one of various benchmarks used by people serious about overclocking.
Excellent, I hope this actually trickles down to day to day performance, about time AMD started hitting back.
