Two years ago we were invited to the first overclocking event at Intel. The product to be overclocked was the not yet released quad-core processor based on the Kentsfield core. One year later we returned to give the soon to be announced Yorkfield core a run for its money. This year we once again got invited back to overclock Core i7, based on a whole new architecture. This first article will tell you my story of what happened at Intel. We will follow up with more in-depth technical articles in the weeks to follow, but first we will show you how much fun you can have with Core i7 and 400l of liquid nitrogen.
“Our faithful readers are most likely aware that we do things a bit different here. While it is very common for every review site to have at least some information on the overclocking potential in their reviews, we try to take things to another level. For the last two years we have visited Intel for a world unique event where we not only get to test Intel’s latest processor and motherboards, but do it in the way we enjoy most: with sub-zero cooling, actually far below zero.”
