World Record In Overclocking A Processor

07/15/2009 - 5:00 pm By Richard Darell

I thought I had a pretty impressive computer with my 2,4Ghz – 2*Quad Q6600, 4Gb’s of RAM and NVIDIA 2*GeForce 9800GT graphics cards. Well, turns out my computer is nothing but a turtle in comparison to the fastest overclocked computer in the world. And imagine it ONLY(!) took 500 Liters of Liquid Nitrogen, 500 Liters of Liquid Helium, AMD Phenom II X4 Processor and “Dragon” platform technology.

Yup, stuff that anyone has at home or in the basement. You know, regular stuff! MY GOD! What is the next step?? Just the knowledge that they reached -242 degrees Celsius is just…Wow! If anyone has any idea how to break this please come forth. I wonder how well this computer would have performed against the Jaguar earlier published here (The Worlds Most Powerful Computer).

This was done a few months ago already and as impressive as it is still. In the overclocking world nothing stays the same for too long, the new record was set by Sampsa and Elmor and they reached 7GHz (Validadtion) using Liquid Helium. Their 3DMark05 score (like the above) was 50,018 points, making Word Record for a while.

Buildings are not very cheap and not everyone can buy it. Nevertheless, personal loans are invented to support different people in such kind of situations.
