Well, I have been looking into prommies and vapochills, even though I don't know enough to buy one, or have enough $$. Anyways, I see all these people with like 3.0'[email protected] and crap. I have NEVER seen anyone with a prommie using an AMD system



Does anyone know what the highest speed is for an AMD chip reached on a vapo or prommy? 3.5 ghz? highest I have seen on an intel is 4.95

He meant even with them. 3Ghz is near where they top out.

Thats weird, I guess you are right though. I saw a few mobiles on prommies on xtremesystems and they maxed @ around 2.9

just got my MachII up and running and the 2600 in my sig seems to be topping out right around 2900MHz ...13*223 @ 2.125V mem: 2,2,2,10
i think i might be able to squeeze out a little more...

EDIT: seem to have topped out at: 225x13 (2925MHz) 2.1V mem: 2,3,2,10

Ppl have reached over 3ghz w/ the a64s. You don't need LN2 to reach that. Just really good cooling and a good chip.

If all you want is 3GHZ, a newcastle would be your best bet. If you want to get better performance, the mobile a64s with 1mb cache would probably be better. I am just gonna build my phase change system then crank this a64 as high as it can go and stop there.
