AMD Athlon II X4 630 Extreme LN2 Overclocking

Wed 2009-11-04 - Posted by Patrick "MACMAC" MacMillan

TweakTown have posted an article in which world-class overclocker Deanzo pushes a budget-oriented AMD Athlon II X4 630 quad-core processor to the limits with a healthy amount of liquid nitrogen (LN2).

Here's what they had to say:

"For an extreme bencher like myself, the Athlon II X4 630 is never going to set world records; but for what it lacked in performance, it made up for in fun. Not having to fight coldbugs (a temperature where components cease working), made for a most enjoyable change, while still giving plenty of scope to overclock. As you could see from the CPU-Z screenshot, we almost achieved a 100% overclock."

Frankly, if this article doesn't pique your interest then you really shouldn't consider yourself a hardware enthusiast.
