I think you need a few 100 more fans and maybe 20 more radiators

It's the last day of my second HWBot competition and quite luckily for the past two days it has been cold as hell. This morning rained snow and that means cold ambient.
So I opened couple of windows and got down to 20c ambient inside and gave my CPU a good beating.
Broke my personal record of 5.5GHz by a good margin.
This is so near the limit that this CPU can do without ice that I was worried for a second that I might blow it up
As I watched my system pulling 600W from the socket I got stable enough clocks to validate temps and even run HWBot Prime. I managed to take back the second place on the competition
it took 1.656V and I really hope I never ever have to do that again with ambient cooling solution.
It was good fun but I think I'm going to retire from this hobby, I simply cannot afford it

Good stuff Waza, 5.5 is impressive and yes it can be a bit nerve wracking when you start pushing those kind of volts. Just a little hint, shut off cores and you may be able to push higher on less volts. Unless the competition states all 8 running.It's the last day of my second HWBot competition and quite luckily for the past two days it has been cold as hell.
