Ive got a budget Core 2 Duo (E7400) at 4.05GHz on air and im getting about 80% the performance in benchmarks of my friends brand new i7 in Crysis's CPU benchmark ( mine averaged 14.42 fps maxed out, his with the same settings hit 18.3 fps ). If you cant run those speeds consistently then its no good. Even water cooling is cumbersome, dangerous, and time consuming as you have to consistently refill the resevoir unless youve got a specialized system. I loved getting to overclock my friends Phenom 9600 as theyre now dirt cheap. Went from 2.3 to 2.75 GHz and saw huge jumps across the board. In both his and my setups I used a cheap but effective Arctic Cooling heatsink. ( 64 and 7 respectively )]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[David Pierce]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 30th 2009 3:51PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Video: AMD's Phenom II X4 TWKR CPU for extreme overclocking lunatics]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/video-amds-phenom-ii-x4-twkr-cpu-for-extreme-overclocking-luna/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/video-amds-phenom-ii-x4-twkr-cpu-for-extreme-overclocking-luna/</guid><description><![CDATA[Reservoir refilling is easy and safe with a $10-$15 fillport and a few minutes of dremel work.
