You've seen the leaked photos of AMD's latest overclocking darling, the Phenom II X4 42 Black Edition TWKR. We got our hands on a pair of these CPUs (four, actually, but two are to give to you) and benchmarked them on a liquid nitrogen-fueled test bench.

As the Tom's Hardware staff hammered away on our own Socket AM3 Phenom II processors, Ton Khowdee of Team IRONMODS was on a special assignment of his own, tuning the living daylights out of an X3 720 BE under LN2, hoping to hit 6 GHz.
