grab this from techb rgains.....

news egg has this for $128? any place cheaper than that?

these can over clock to 3.6GHZ!!!!! according to this site
 
Oh yeah, one guy getting it to run long enough so he can take a screenshot with dry ice cooling means we can all OC them like that

lol yeah

and your link is broke. everyone try this one Fixed Link

Had good sucess taking these things 200-400mhz over, but I'd use some caution 😉

oh, and these are availbile much cheaper elsewheres.. try looking here
for prices before posting next time: PriceWatch

</cramp>
 
THE CHEAPEST I FOUND ON PRICEWATCH IS $127 GOOGLEGEARS
BTW...GETTING THIS PROCESSOR TO 2.5GHz+ NEED AT LEAST WATER COOLING
AND AS YOU ALL MIGHT NOTICE THIS ARE JUST BARELY STABLE TO RUN THE PROGRAM WCPUID.
I BET THEY CAN'T EVEN SURF THE WEB AT THAT SPEED.
AND YOU PROBABLY NEED TO SPEND $200 MORE FOR A COOLING SYSTEM...LIKE THE LIQUID N2 COOLING @ -180 DEGREES
 


<< these can over clock to 3.6GHZ!!!!! according to this site >>

i don't understand idiots like that, why bother if you can't even use the damned thing?

newegg has some of the best prices, i dont' think you're going to find any place that sells it significantly cheaper.

it's idiots like that that help push the envelop of innovation further, if all experiments were done with practicality in mind, our society would be no where it is right now ... don't be too quick with you name calling ...

dude, chill with the caps....
 
These guys do a lot of work to get those chips that fast.
Just about every one of them uses a "modified" motherboard to allow them to pump more current to the chips.



<< 3.6GHZ with 2.2V, he is frying his CPU. >>



You think they care, if they are running LN2 and modifying MB's to get them that fast?

I think it's impressive as hell, even if they can't run long term that way.
Over double the rated clock speed 1.6 @ 3.8, 3.9, 4.0......

 
Don't you all remember the famous Cel 366? I've had mine running at 550 forever & that's centuries old in tech time! so I can't see how 1.6@3.6 is so out of the ordinary. With technology these days, it should at least overclock better than the 366, am I missing something?
