SLi_dog has managed to overclock a Celeron Cedar Mill to 6.35Ghz using liquid Nitrogen. I would say he has certainly put in a very formidable effort. Hi all, This afternoon I've been playing around with some old Pentium4 chips and LN2. My goal was to break the 6Ghz mark and well, I suceeded and managed to take the top CPU-Z spot with this type of Celeron and 18th overall
FearTec has chosen to cool down his D-Link DGS-1008D gigabit switch with the aid of a 80mm LED fan and a large round hole. The switch would crash every few hours (idle load) and require powering down for 15 minutes to cool before it can be used again. Googling revealed that this switch can die after standard use if it is not kept cool. There is no heatsink on the main processor and the chip would run at 70+c after 10 seconds of operation. This is what I did.
Trodas is having some fun overclocking an old school machine. So Samxons caps worked well once again, even the limits of Celeron 400, created with 0,25um technology, is simply unsurpassable. Joe sayied that over 600Mhz are these black PII very hard to get. And I belive this. With better cooling and higher voltage into the CPU it will be sure possible to reach 600Mhz, but what the hell now. Black Celeron/Pentium II are simply made with 0,25um technology. Green ones are made with 0,18um technology and these can overclock over 1Ghz, so when I get some into ma hands...
Wild is modding an old 486 tower case for use for water cooling. Years ago, when the office was running off 386 and 486 machines, we had chunky fulltower cases to accommodate the larger hard disks and graphics cards required for CAD at the time. Since then, the machines went into storage and haven't been touched since, except for one that I did some quick mods on to fit an ATX motherboard and power supply in (as shown in the photos below).
