My friend says he achieved these temps with just a few fans and no case side.

It's summer too mind you.

I don't believe the temps. either they are photoshoped or he just googled for the image.

Is that even possible without water cooling and aircondition? Hell is that even possible period?

damn 2.4 to 3.9 seems kinda of impossible, you can try loading the image into image viewer and zooming in alot to the numbers to c if they were edited

ya, It kinda seems fishy. What board and ram is he running?

are we talking temps or speed? i have combed that image and i don't see temps.

Please explain to me why a 2.4C's multiplier isnt 12?

that just caught my attention as well. would it have to be an engineering sample?

EDIT: is it a B and not C?

It would have to be an engineering sample...that doesn't make sense. It's pretty rare for a 2.4GHz CPU to hit 3.9GHz...that's a lot of volts.

I still don't see temps...

Idk he didn't post the temps.

He said it was only stable for about 15 mins and then it crashed.

I guess he just added super voltage and hoped for the best lol?

Wouldn't something like that cause sudden death for a Northwood?

Wouldn't something like that cause sudden death for a Northwood?

And he was able to do a printscreen and save it in that amount of time?


It doesn't take 15 mins to printscreen and save. More like 1 min max.

Thought he said 15 seconds.

who cares...have something that can boot or post at x.x speed and then crashes is worthless.

Yeah, I hate it when people talk about their 'uber fast/l33t' PCs. But what it comes down to is stability. A PC running at ~4ghz is no good if you don't even get a chance to login before it powers down.

Please explain to me why a 2.4C's multiplier isnt 12?It's C1 core stepping (P4-2.4b) 133x18=2400. The very best C1 chips I've seen were operable at 3.6GHz or a touch above, a screenie at 1.82V at 3.9GHz is possible. Stable operation at that speed is not, unless you freeze the thing (and it would die soon anyway).

My SL6LA 1.8a (C1) did 3.42GHz in daily use at 1.725V. I recently tested a C1 1.8a produced March of this year that does ~3.2GHz. 3.6GHz remains the outer limits for C1 chips, no matter how new the production.
