AMD Phenom X4 II, overclocked to 6 GHz.
In recent days I have read on several websites that many Overclockers were very happy with the new microprocessors from AMD, the AMD Phenom X4 II, or also called Deneb. Are the reasons? AMD has developed some CPUs that are very easily overclocked, and also maintain a constant operating at high frequencies of operation.
The fact is that this week has been known to have already achieved an overclocked AMD Phenom II to 6 GHz. This is an incredible achievement considering that the CPU of this family more often is 3 GHz. I am referring more specifically to the Phenom X4 II 940, to be launched in January 2009.
Of course, is the trick behind the cooling liquid nitrogen, which has brought the temperature to -185 ° C. Under air-cooling systems (traditional fans), the Phenom X4 II can still overclocked a remarkably good shape, although not at the extremes that allows the liquid nitrogen.
This type of cooling is not at all recommended for the general use of a computer. In fact, the only liquid nitrogen is often used in demonstrations of overclocking, as well as their use carries a serious danger, nothing is not a stable system for a use of several minutes or hours. The most ‘like’ would be the cooling liquid, although differences in front of it to nitrogen are very broad.
The AMD Phenom II began shipping in the first weeks of 2009, and will begin with the AM2 socket, which is currently used in the vast majority of processors from AMD Phenom range. Already in February and the months to poteriores, AMD will launch some Phenom II under the socket AM3, which will be the evolution of the AM2 and will bring a package of improvements in compatibility with other devices such as overall performance.
