CeBIT: Stable 5 GHz Prescott on phase change?!?

I hope it's not a repost, but very impressive nonetheless!

nice
i wonder what motherboard/chipset let them get such a high fsb speed
yeah prescott is pretty weak until it is overclocked
this supprised me tho

that thing could easily take the highest 3dmark scores out there

It could if it was stable enough to run 3dMock at that speed.

edit: Hey, I wonder what kind of SuperPi times they get at 5ghz!

i wish they had mentioned the mobo and ram...

I love this line:

So, they entered the prestigious ?5GHz? club on ordinary stock phase-change unit!

Well to put it in context, it is ordinary compared to liquid nitrogen changing phase .

Pretty impresive. I wish I could get my 2.8E stable above 3.6 and I am on water cooling.

I wasn't informed that phase change cooling had become ordinary...damn, I just went to water and am still behind...

How do you cool the nuclear reactor that powers the CPU with just water?

Hahaha, true, a Prescott on water would get the water so hot I could drop a raw egg in my resevoir and 5 min. later it would be hard boiled!

Brew a pot of coffee while playing UT2k4...

i'm tempted to pick up a whole new watercooling rig
i want 4ghz damnit !!
heh

 

[jdogg707]

Ya, I am looking forward to my new water cooling setup to come, hopefully I can get my A64 to 2.4GHZ+

But if I had a Prescott and a water setup I could have a backup resevoir with a T Valve, and make it removable, that way whenever I wanted a cup of tea I could just remove it, pour in the boiling water and be ready to go...it would cut out a step in the morning for me, just go to the computer before my shower and start Prime, by the time I got back the water would be nice and hot...haha

This link might clear up the ID of the motherboard (modded for sure) and stuff used for running 5Ghz.

So it was the Asus P4C800 Deluxe?

 

[Dustswirl]

yepp, confirmation

but in xbit's article there's a typo saying Abit link (down down at the end)

LOL, actually, nuclear reators are cooled with water.

Yes but how's he going to get enough water to cool it? Nuclear reactors on large lakes raise the temperature of the water quite a bit.

I remember some site mentioned that it was a P4C800E-D.

 

[kyparrish]

time to run DPAD on that baby

 

[Acanthus]

the P4C800-E can do 1200fsb with a cooling mod to the northbridge (no vmod). Theres a few 2.4C M0s on 1200fsb.

 

[Soulkeeper]

i wanna see atleast one benchmark
i tellya

if the prescott starts to come alive around 3.6ghz imagine how alive it would be at 5ghz !!

edit:

ok that's it
i'm gonna get me a new watercooling system for my prescott
if they can take a 3.4 or whatever to 5ghz then i can take a 2.8e to 4
muahahaha

Wait for the next stepping it will not run as hot.

Pretty much confirms one thing. Air cooling has reached its limit. I'm going to guess 4ghz is not attainable even with the LOUDEST air cooling that is available at your friendly hardware vendor.
