Ok Ok! There are no penguins in Alaska...! So I will take my D805 in Antartica with the penguins! And I will run it at 5.1GHz and the penguins will come all together to see how I can bit the AMD processor ... look this is a big water cooler and they are all waiting us ...

Don't FX-57's have the "Cold Bug"...hitting around -50C IIRC. If so, then i wonder how they got around that? :? Or was that FX-55?

while the base temp of the container was indeed below -50°C, the CPU was at -20°C

Wow 3.86 GHz and super pi at 53.484 seconds (2M).

Let's see, wow core 2 duo at 4.4 GHz super pi 28.812 seconds (2M)
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forum [...] tcount=127

You mean a Core 2 duo doesn't cut the time in half. Can the Core 2 duo running only 1 core beat the FX-57 with both OCed?

If AMD gets wind of this they may make a run for the gamming crown in single core. The FX-57 isnt' even a 65nm CPU. If AMD made a single core FX 65nm it could spell real trouble for Intel.

You also dont have to boot up at the temp your working with and the vcore + FSB can be changed within windows. Overclocking at that level requires alot of patience and skill.Yes, i realize that most heavy duty overclocking is done through Clock-Gen, but that shouldn't negate the cold-bug if the processor still drops to that temp.

1. No it isn't 2 years old yet, but that doesn't change the fact that it whips the FX.

2. It does exist, even you cannot deny that. However it has not been released to sell yet.

3. Can't argue on that one, it is only a single core they overclocked. I do believe that even if it was a dual core, the conroe would still beat it.

The conroes that are setting the WR's have 1 core disabled, so that's a non-issue. MrsD does this all the time. Pops in types a few clueless posts, then leaves before she has to see the inevitable backlash due to her uninformed garbage.
