Intel Pentium 4 reaches 3675mhz!

http://www.muropaketti.com/artikkeli...hwood2200/ln2/

Recently, the people at muropaketti.com managed to overclock their Pentium 4 2.2ghz processor up to 3675mhz. Overclocking is raising a processor's speed, but doing so will make it run at high temperatures, void the warranty, and often run unstable.
They managed to obtain some liquid nitrogen which is -196 degrees celsius, and they then put it into a copper cup which was placed on top of the CPU. They then managed to overclock it to a world record speed.
By visiting the source, you can see photographs of it. It is recommended you do not try this at home.
Amazing isnt it, the guy was even playing Quake 3 on the system :p

hehe if i got mine running that fast id be playing some serous RTCW action all night hehe if i had the money id over clock my athlon get some liquid nitrogen and play MP rtcw w0000t
RiOtEr
p.s some people have way to much time on their hand

holy ****. thats great =) i'm goin to actually atempt this.

when i do, there will be plenty of pictures =)

fr0z3n you need some nitrogen a spare 500$ and a whole lot of time :p

Dude....thats some crazy stufff....
I just run off a bewolf cluster ;)

seems like a good way to ruin a perfectly good cpu and motherboard.

even if you could cool it down, wouldn't the bus skew make it too unstable to run for long anyway?

I agree with Jabberwocky total waste of hardware. What the hell do you need 3675mhz for any ways. Look I can run quake3 at 500fps even thought the human eye can only see up to about the 30-40fps range.

How about instead of liquid nitrogen, how about putting the thing in a freezer somehow and seal the cords coming out. I've seen it done somewhere, but they had to worry about condenstaion and that sort of thing.

I overclocked my PC and one day it reached 189 degrees and made popping sounds and smoke came out.....

i meant 159 degrees Fahrenheit =) sorry

man, 3674 mHz it's amazing they could reach more than 1 Ghz overclocking.........wau.... i's amazing.............. and you see the smokes ?? it's really hot..................................... :D

ac1dsp3ctrum, when i read your subject. I thought you are giving source that intel have the technology to reach that speed. but it's all about overclocking.... I was quite surprise when i read it.... cause I read it's very dangerous to overclock even 500 MHz, cause it will increase the heat a lot....

ehh, i dont think it be such a good idea to overclock your computer to such an extrenity. it would be foolish & uhh.. stupid! just leave that stuff to the pros/idiots.

-do aho!

I know it's foolish to overclock computer to over its pros.......... but isn't it the challenge ????

and how do you think world grows today ?? they try to make a new thing (become better than before).. isn't same as overclock ??

and hoow do you think Intel get that 2.2 Ghz speed from P 486 6/7 seven years ago ??

intel didn't get a 2.2ghz chip by overclocking a -486. overclocking a chip isn't taking something and making it better then it was before. it is taking a chip that is meant to run at a specific speed on a specific bus under specific conditions, and pumping it up so that it runs out of spec.

think of it as a pacemaker. if you had a pacemaker, you wouldn't want someone turning up the speed, would you? :)
