AMD overclocks 45nm Phenoms to 4GHz and beyond - The Tech Report

Quote:

The slowest system—cooled with a heatsink and fan—managed to reach just under 4GHz with a 1.55V core voltage. With liquid cooling, AMD successfully pushed a 45nm Phenom II in another machine just over the 4GHz mark. That required kicking up the CPU voltage to 1.6V, however.

Fail. Forget about getting it Prime95 stable at 4GHz by using air/water cooling

3.0GHz range should be more realistic for Phenom II.

I really hate demos using liquid nitrogen. They are nothing but gimmicks to fool the n00bs. Even Intel did one for the Core i7 launch. I don't know what they are trying to prove...

Any CPU with liquid nitrogen can overclock to stupendous heights, but it doesn't mean they can overclock well with air cooling. Really pointless demos.
