Zotac's GTX480 on Liquid Nitrogen
This weekend we received a sample of the GeForce GTX480 graphics card from Zotac and immediately put the graphics card on nitrogen.

Made CAP-mod, vmem-mod, ocp-mod, ovp-mod - a number of hardware modifications. They added their capacitors, were able to adjust the voltage on the memory, removed the protection of current and voltage.

On the flip side it all looked quite scary) The

maximum frequencies were - 1053/1185 MHz (core / memory). This is the maximum that allowed to set the software - MSI Afterburner. We could not make a voltmod of the core, due to the lack of datasheets that developers do not want to share.

We managed to get the second place in 3DMark03 among single video cards in the world. At the time the result was presented, it was even a record, but klngln interrupted him a couple of days later. For those who don’t know, this is an American overclocker working with EVGA developers. Naturally, he had the opportunity to overclock the card above 1053 MHz, so he managed to make a new record.

Launch of AMD Six-Core Processors
Today AMD Phenom II x6 six-core processors are officially unveiled. They were based on the Thuban processor core.

Naturally, we put a glass on the processor and cooled it with liquid nitrogen to a temperature of -196 degrees Celsius. The maximum frequency was 6300 MHz. Validation of CPU-Z
A little later we will present the video prepared by our team to the hawk readers.
