beer Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Boasting, are we? Corsair has just announced that a new overclocking world record has been set. One that apparently shatters the previous memory frequency world record with a custom-built liquid nitrogen cooled system. The record? They hit a memory frequency of 1733.8MHz (DDR3-3467) using Corsair Dominator GT CMGTX6 extreme-performance DDR3 memory.World champion overclocker and Corsair employee Jake "Planet" Crimmins set the new record at Corsair's laboratory with a custom-designed, liquid nitrogen cooled PC based on an AMD FX-8150 processor and equipped with 1GB of Dominator GT extreme-performance DDR3 memory. The system was powered by a Corsair Professional Series Gold AX1200 fully modular power supply."Breaking overclocking world records requires skill, ingenuity, and the right equipment," said Jake Crimmins. "I've broken several records using Dominator GT memory. It's reliable, it has amazing headroom, and it's never let me down." So, anyone placing bets on how long the record stands?(source)How can the motherboard still work with all that spilled-over liquid nitrogen? and I wonder how many volts was put on the RAM to get it to DDR3-3467 :think: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemesis Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 a neat read, however i dont see the point if it cant be practical. now if the article showed a stable, working, non nitrogen cooled version that we could all use....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
