MSI Wind U100 meets LN2 for Atom World Record
yeah its another stupid idea from Team Australia…
Get a msi wind notebook that has some preety nice overclocking abilities, a stick of ddr2 so-dimm and some ln2 and see what happens..
MSI Wind @ LN2
Setup:
MSI Wind U100 Netbook
Kingston 2GB DDR2 667Mhz SO-Dimm
Astra!
result? 2315mhz.. afaik its fastest speed of atom processor in notebook or desktop board.. also 2385mhz camera screens..

The Sydney Morning Herald – Geek extremists keep cool with liquid nitrogen
Dino Strkljevic
Fellow Team Australia team mate, dinos22 (Dino Strkljevic) gets some national press coverage in The Sydney Morning Herald article by Asher Moses titled – “Geek extremists keep cool with liquid nitrogren”.
Dino will be flying to Taiwan on September 25, 2008 to represent Team Australia at Gigabyte Overclocking Competition 2008. Originally, fellow team mate pro/youngpro (James Trevaskis) was to accompany Dino but had to pull out to to receive treatment for his recently diagnosed leukemia.
Team Australia’s representation at the competition doesn’t end there as team mate T_M (Tim Marshall) will also be at the event resprenting the Singaporean team (Tim currently resides in Singapore). Check out the article here. You can post your comments on the forums here.
3DMark SLI + PCMark05 + FSB + 8400 Frequency World Records!
After returning from HongKong Asus Overclocking Championship, I had alot to prove to myself. I did this by taking four world records in a day!
1. new FSB wr, 734mhz
Lowering the NB temperature from -188 to -130 really helped me gain the 10mhz I needed.
Biostar I45 Tpower
E8500 @ -130
NB @ -130
Crucial Ballistix 8000
http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=396491
2. E8400 frequency WR, 6213mhz
Newbeetle just posted an amazing speed with this motherboard but luckily my little board just had the steam to overhaul it.
Biostar I45 Tpower
E8400 ES @ -140
NB @ -130
Crucial Ballistix 8000
SuperPI 2M/4M/8M/16M World Record and 32m second place
After recieving my new E8600, I decided it was time to launch after some modpi records as the clocks I am getting are reasonably good, the results were preety nice!
Setup:
Biostar Tpower I45 (of course)
Crucial Ballistix 8000
E8600 Q820 599
FX5500
2nd place 32m
modpi 8m wr
dinos22 takes 6128MHz with E8500, Biostar P45 & Corsair DDR2 PC10000 Dominators
Biostar proved yet again that it´s capable of ultra high FSB and some serious overclocks and efficiency with sweet E8500 CPU. This kind of benching rig cannot be paired with anything else other than a monster DDR2 kit. Corsair DDR2 PC10000 Dominators were used in this instance
Test Configuration:
Biostar TPower P45 board
1.88-1,92vcore, 2.68vdimm, 1.69vMCH, 1.47vFSB
Intel Core2 Duo E8500 Q740A497
2GB DDR2 PC10000 Corsair DOMINATORS
(645MHz 1:1 4-4-4-8 timings)
PCI GFX Card MX200
620W Corsair PSU
Stock heatsink on NB (LN2 cooled with small pours)
kingpin F1 Extreme Edition Solid copper CPU LN2 Pot
Big mamma 35L LN2 Dewar
160GB PATA
Windows XP Pro 32bit SP3
This CPU is a monster. It was able to handle -150C and it benchmarked at 6GHz 1M Superpi
Even though this board was a monster fsb clocker i was still fsb limited…..

Triple SLI testing begins with Foxconn Dreadnought and 3 Nvidia GTX280s
A few weeks ago I recieved 3 Foxconn GTX280 cards and the highly anticipated Foxconn Dreadnought 790i motherboard.
After some intial testing, working out cpu maximum speed in vantage and testing each card individually it was time to approach the holy grail of of 3D benchmarking, 3DMark Vantage Triple SLI!
Setup:
Foxconn Dreadnought 790i
3x Foxconn GTX280
Corsair Dominator PC14400 sticks
Silverstone 1000OP
Featuring tek9 4.0s gpu and astra cpu pot
Some serious runs will be complete in the next two weeks, for now you will have to settle for two scary images
