Ha, and you thought a 3DMark06 score of 5,086 was intense when AMD's Phenom II was
overclocked to a blistering 3.85GHz. Just after CES, a team of hardcore speed freaks with access to
liquid nitrogen and liquid helium created an environment for OC'ing one of AMD's latest Phenom II X4 chips in -232 degrees Celsius weather. Once the silicon was appropriately chilled, they proceeded to push the clock speed to a staggering 6.5GHz, which proved nimble enough to deliver a patently absurd 45,474 3DMark05 score. The best part? The adoring public was there to bear witness, and every nail-biting second of it is hosted up in the video just past the break.
