CaptainRAVE Posted February 6, 2002 Share Posted February 6, 2002 Tom's Hardware has managed to overclock an Intel Northwood Pentium 4 above 3GHz. The chip is officially rated for 2.2GHz. Tom's then used various benchmarks to test performance and stability - and were impressed with the results. In fact, they were able to break records in terms of frames per second displayed in Quake 3, far above the normal performance levels. Tom's warns that the overclocking can only be achieved using special cooling devices, like a watercooling system. Only certain hand-selected processors can be overclocked to these speeds using air-cooling methods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Kudar Posted February 7, 2002 Share Posted February 7, 2002 A 2.2Ghz P4 has been successfully overclocked to 3674MHz!! - the only downside was that it needed liquid nitrogen (LN2 -196°C) as the coolant, not exactly a feasible idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
