Several weeks before the official announcement of phenom II X4 processors, AMD began to show interest in those processors overclocking potential. These processors were revealed in the hands of enthusiasts, who use extreme cooling systems ( Phenom II X4 was overclocked to the frequencies 5-6 GHz ). Reality, proved that using air cooling systems the Phenom II X4 overclock only to 3.6-3.8 GHz.
Recently, the well-known Finnish enthusiasts SF 3d and Sampsa within the CES 2009, which takes place in Las Vegas, set a new world record in 3DMark 2005, after overclocking the Phenom II X4 to the frequency 6301 MHz. In this case two video card Radeon HD 4870 X2, were overclocked to frequencies 800/3800 MHz .
This CPU could pass CPU- Z validation at the frequency in 6435 MHz.





The cooling system, which was used by Finnish enthusiasts, is completely amazing. Copper container was pre cooled by liquid nitrogen to the temperature - 190 degree Celsius, after which they added the liquid helium, lowering the temperature to -242 the degree Celsius. Since the high concentration of helium vapors is completely dangerous, experiment was conducted in the well aired environment.
