Kingston Hyper X Breaks World Record

We received a press release that is definitely worthy of repeating. It seems Kingston Hyper X has gone hyper speed on some liquid nitrogen (LN2) at GamesCom 2010 in Cologne. Overclockers Benjamin Bioux (Benji Tshi) and Jean-Baptiste Gerard (marmott) went a little crazy and used nothing but some pink foam for a "pot" and reached what Kingston says is "the fastest ever recorded frequency for memory".

That is just insane

hokiealumnus · 08-27-10, 01:58 PM

But...they didn't run SP32M!

I'm evil.

Just yankin' yer crank Brolloks. What really impressed me about that wasn't the frequency, but was their tenacity in using FOAM for a pot!

Brolloks · 08-27-10, 02:04 PM

Yeah I was looking at that foam pot contraption, pretty clever if you ask me, do you know what voltage they charged through those sticks?

hokiealumnus · 08-27-10, 02:08 PM

According to the XS thread, 1.58V VTT and 1.88V VDIMM. I dont' know which was crying more, the CPU or the RAM!

Brolloks · 08-27-10, 02:09 PM

No too bad, I was was expecting over 2 v on the RAM, vtt is pretty high for a 1156 chip

Wow! Insane speeds.

They should be wearing gloves or they can get liquid nitrogen "burns". Temps of −196 °C; −321 °F are nothing to be spilling on skin. Been there done that. No fun at all.
