I heard some dude had his AMD 1.7 ghz OC'd to 4.3ghz or so.. and he has three fans cooling it.. Hahaha.. is that possible?!

i seriously doubt it. the only thing i've heard of getting to over 4Ghz and still being stable (albeit only just) started off as a 3.06Ghz or something.I know nothing about OC'ing and i'd take a guess that a 1.7Ghz couldn't get pushed much past 2.4Ghz, if even. i may be wrong though. But i'd put money on a 1.7Ghz not getting even close to 4Ghz.
No way to get that kind of overclocking with just fans.
Want to see how to cool while overclocking? Check out this article:

Liquid nitrogen!
Crazy Finns. :lol: http://www.muropaketti.com/artikkeli...2200/ln2/3.jpg
what you really want for overclocking is liquid helium
it's a little chilly at approx -269 degrees celsius though...
:lol: :lol: -196°C is not cold enough for ya?

i actually doubt the standard computer parts would work in such a cold atmosphere as liquid helium
only supercomputers (and early quantum builds) have been used in this atmosphere
i also heard that, actually i saw it working.Quote:

three fans ARE ENOUGH to cool it, cause the guy who achieved that shit lives in a very cold country.
his name is santa claus.
:: sigh::... :( what i would give for a stable quantum computer but that wont be for a while when quantum computers will be house hold maybe 20, 30 or 40 years. :(Quote:
