Over on Vr-Zone you can read about an Athlon FX-51 (2.2Ghz) overclocked to over 3Ghz using an ASUS SK8N with the new 1003.003 BIOS that allow multiplier adjustments. The dry-ice helps I think. Nice!

From Amateur: "One of my more self-motivated mates built his own FX Light, and did it pretty well. He also put together very detailed instructions which I think some people will find very handy." Its very pretty! You can find the details here.
It seems that camera-phones are everywhere now, even in places they shouldn't be! From yyk.
