Overclocking Yourself

Sidney · 27th August 2005, 16:40

When a computer is slow, we inject it with a new lease on life by giving it more RAM or a better graphics card, or perhaps by overclocking the processor a bit. All that is great for the computer - but what happens then to us poor professionals, who have to slave from early morning until late in the night on these energetic beasts?

....we believe that with enough liquid nitrogen anyone can go to 6 GHz and beyond, .......

There is no free lunch; cause and effect dedicts the price we must pay for every return we expect; moderation doesn't apply to ocing

Scenario #2

What I want from a processor -

1) It has a low price – very low price below $100
2) It has over 200% overclocking headroom.
3) Sitting in the specially made retail box this processor has a minus 60°C surface temperature.

Sounds good to you

The place where this processor can be purchased is HELL. No cooling of any kind is required; hence it runs in silence, the only sound you hear is the sizzling noise of your body burning. The price you pay for from overclocking yourself.

Cocaine anyone!!!
