- wiirdo, on 10/11/2007, -2/+54Don't spill it in your lap, or you'll have a 8 Ghz self-neuter project.
- BrokenWind, on 10/11/2007, -2/+45bah, my cordless home phones are over 5Ghz, and they don't even have a fan.........
/intentional silliness - poet, on 10/11/2007, -0/+41Dual core? Why not quad core to 8GHz?
- scabbers, on 10/11/2007, -3/+40Looks like their server isn't running at 8ghz!!!11
Thank you, thank you, I'm here all week.... - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -3/+38Pathetic my Atari ST runs at 8GHz. Oh no wait thats 8Mhz
Oh, pretty impressive then. - ocWikiSysop, on 10/11/2007, -2/+308 ghz is cool... Liquid Nitrogen is VERY cool.
- jebo4jc, on 10/11/2007, -1/+28Somebody crank a dual core CPU to 8ghz....then I'll be REALLY impressed :P
- chingy1788, on 10/11/2007, -1/+26I would think that the Core 2 Duo still performs better and its not because of the extra core
- Elranzer, on 10/11/2007, -3/+25I bet it still will only score about 3.2 on the Vista scale...
- FarcicalFart, on 10/11/2007, -1/+23http://www.teamnexgen.org/forum/hardware-discussion/251-world-record-8ghz-project-usa.html
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+18Still be a bit jerky playing Civilization with full detail.
- microft, on 10/11/2007, -3/+19That would create a wormhole into another dimension and bring the end of days!! :-)
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+14Use ^^ this link instead of the ***** blogspam.
- Aliarse, on 10/11/2007, -5/+14While it may be "cool" - Its not exactly practical is it? How long will Liquid nitrogen last, 5 mins, 30 mins, 1 hour?
Let me know when they get 8Ghz on air cooling. - ocWikiSysop, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9the record for a core 2 duo is 5.7 on liquid nitrogen. These guys are already way past that.
- sp4rky, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8From my understanding these processors can't go the extremes like that. Not every processor can be OCed to a crazy speed. And by crazy speed I mean hitting 8ghz or even close.
- foolonthehill, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7@V2V3
Help *save* cancer? There's an interesting goal. - synaps3, on 10/11/2007, -2/+7Wow, 8GHz. Good luck, Team NexGen!
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Give this to the average end user, within 10mins it will be full of spyware the CPU will be at 100% and they'll be saying "my computers slow maybe I need a new one".
- V2V3, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4How about a 4.7GHz Quad Core?
http://www.teamnexgen.org/forum/announcements/267-world-record-usa-8ghz-project-update.html - Myonosken, on 10/11/2007, -3/+7Hey man, if they want to let them. I'm sure you do pointless stuff to.
- Philter, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4@rompom
Just because they're not using liquid nitrogen to cool the motherboard doesn't mean they're not using it to cool the processor. If you read the top of the article it shows another picture of "one of the LN2 coolers they may use." Furthermore, if you go to their site you can clearly see the setup they used, including the liquid N2 apparatus. If you want to criticize, fine, but at least read it all. - PATSCRU, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4actually, oc'ing a core2duo to insane speeds will probably be a bit easier than what they are trying to do with the single core P4's. The core2duos are some of the easiest intel cpus to overclock to date, whereas the P4 prescotts etc were some of the hottest running intels to date.
- jman8888, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4@Gawt
Your So wrong in so many ways.
1. Dual core doesnt mean Dual Freqency.
2. Core2's Run at 4ghz Everyday and dont need liquid nitro.
3. They dont use that much power at 4ghz
4. They run faster and cooler because coreduo is more efficent then Netburst By Far. - jdepp, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5problem with straight-forward overclocking is that the processor pipelines are not deep enough
- the system DRAM is still going at the normal speed, so the processor will have to insert more
wait cycles while the L1 and L2 caches are filled.
- if my processor is waiting 50 clock cycles on a cache miss at 3 GHz
then it will be waiting 130 cycles on a cache miss at 8 GHz - the latency to memory matters more
and performance does not scale with clock frequency unless everything happens
to fit in the cache.
that said - Liquid nitrogen is cool!
This is the reason why multi-core processors are the way forward rather than ramping up
the clock cycle. - KMartSheriff, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5Do you come with subtitles?
- oriondarkwood, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4One step closer to beach blanket bingo on the holodeck
- SomeoneLikeYou, on 10/11/2007, -0/+38ghz? w00t time for some high performance gaming, someone fire up the solitaire!
- V2V3, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Heh, thats our post on XS :)
- Satanael, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3I wonder what the difference would be between Liquid Nitrogen cooling and Phase Change cooling...
- Grambo, on 10/11/2007, -2/+4http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7263668346151253701

A little bit faster than those. - myt29, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Well, the cooling isn't the problem. It's how fast you can make it go and still be stable enough to look at the CPUZ infos and take a screenshot.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Cool pic of 5GHz overclockage with liquid nitrogen...
http://www.ministryoftech.com/2007/06/12/cpu-cooled-with-liquid-nitrogen-5-ghz-overclock/ - revenant, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Scorching fast... weeee-ehw. go for it! :)
- mrmacky, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3Man, it's this kind of stuff that makes me sad that I still have an 866mhz Pentium 3.
I've gotta get me one of these :P - banthis, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Sorry for double posting but here's another
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiHwsYPyGjo&NR=1 - TyphoidTimmy, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I was thinking more in the lines of anything above the 'average' graphics setting in EQ2. God knows my puter threw itself out a window to stop the pain of daring to enable shadows on a high detail setting.
- spudnic, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2I was about to post this link, it's one of those rare times that a link to the forum would have actually been appropriate...
- V2V3, on 10/11/2007, -2/+3We are currently building a Refrigeration system to simulate Liquid Nitrogen temperatures and allow an extremely high Overclock to operate 24/7
just think, with Folding @ Home we could help save cancer faster than any other PC in the world. - Lane, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1this is great and all but id rather have a functional overclock than something thats going to be useless in a few hours.
- Zidz, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Pentium 3 woot woot :S
- V2V3, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Phase Change cooling is extremely difficult to get down to Liquid Nitrogen temperatures and very expensive to build/operate but the ability to run 24/7 at or below -196C has us working on a Phase Change Cascade to do just that :)
- RobertBogley, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2As well as being the fastest machine in the world, more significantly this may also be the first machine in the world thats fast enough to run a 32 bit operating system developed by Microsoft.
Only joking. - rompom7, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1What? HUH!? I'm confused... All I said was Dry Ice is not Liquid Nitrogen... I'm not criticizing anyone.. The description the submitter used said it was using Liquid Nitrogen...

:D - TechCF, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1It should be noted that they used an engineering sample CPU, even though that != easy clocker, but...
- StealthTomato, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I started to say that it could almost begin to run Vista, but then I realized that they still need ~100GB more RAM.
- muka3d, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1For anyone that is interested in this sort of extreme overclocking, another project to check out is one done by Tom's Hardware a few years ago.

The above article is very well documented and includes a entertaining video:

That's what she said. - armourer, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1That, or they were and ran out of liquid nitrogen
