Chew Clocks Phenom to 4.5GHz on Air and 6.4GHz on LN2  252w ago
- We just received a link leading to an AMD-sponsored YouTube
channel, showing an HD video how Brian McLachlan [alias chew*]
overclocked Phenom II 955 and DDR3 memory. You can see the HD
video below.  What caught our attention in the video was the
fact that Brian didn't take the usual route of slapping a LN2
pot and pouring Liquid-nitrogen from the word go.  Chew* used
AMD Phenom II 955 processor, GigaByte 790FX-based motherboards
[MA790FXT-UD5P], Corsair DDR3-1866 memory, ATI Radeon HD 4850
and 4890 graphics cards in single and Crossfire mode. In this
video, chew* posted 4515 MHz CPU-Z using an air cooler, 5217 MHz
CPU-Z score using Dry Ice and 6405 MHz using Liquid Nitrogen.
Personally, I am not very interested in seeing validation
screenshots, even though I understand their point. I was always
an stable system overclocker - my CPUs have to pass a 24 hour
Linpack run in order to be called stable. Chew published so
called "extreme stability" re
