AMD - 5GHz

[madmax555]

Is there any AMD processor that can be over clock stable to 5 GHz with air or water cooling?

Not currently.

1100T under water will come close

1100T under water will come close

Isn't it kind of hard to use your computer under water though?

I thought some Australian girl set the record at like 7+ghz on an AMD...

it was on liquid nitrogen tho haha

not distilled, pure water

Use mineral oil

How well does submerging your computer in mineral oil work anyways? I assume it also depends on the heatsink.

how close will 1100T come to 5 Ghz?

Afaik the same as a 1090t will. The best I could ever pull was 4.2GHz but that was not under 100% awesome ideal circumstances.

Can work fine, but the benefit:drawback ratio simply isn't worth it for a main machine. makes a great showpiece though.

Apparently someone has reached 6.5 on a AMD X4 965 with Air.

the record was done with liquid helium, i believe it was 7.8Ghz.


trying to find the article. i don't think theres a hwbot entry for it but it was done at an AMD competition.

If you click on it, it was actually done with LN2. The guy made a mistake which wasn't corrected for whatever reason when filling out the form.
