| Windows 7 x64 | Re: Core i7 975 XE Breaks 5 GHz Barrier, With Air Cooling Highest OC I've seen a Phenom II on air is around 4GHz at the moment. A nice OC though on the 975. Hope it's released soon, so then Intel can lower their prices on other CPUs and I can upgrade  |

| Vista Ultimate x64 | Re: Core i7 975 XE Breaks 5 GHz Barrier, With Air Cooling yes he did that with a simple TRUE cooler. there is another user in XS that has the D0 revision of the 920, and he was able to get to 5.3 Ghz with simple water cooling + some ice, with a Koolance CPU Block and a Koolance pump.. that is impressive as well. |
