Here's a sneak peek at what I'm working on right now

4.62ghz so far on an 89 dollar motherboard & 100 dollar CPU.

Very nice!

Once you tweak everything to where you want it, you should post in our superpi thread. It's stuck in this section. Nice work.

4.6 @ less than 1.4V

I am very impressed

 

[Thanatos]

wow. thats gonna be awesome. what are you using to cool your CPU?

 

[an0nym0us]

I'm using a Coolermaster Hyper 212+ and those temps are before a implemented the push-pull method. Oh and it's in a tiny Coolermaster Elite 341 case with a 120mm front, 120mm rear and 2 120's on the HSF.

sweet! man u have a cool setup!

 

[an0nym0us]

Thanks... hopefully I can get one of my i7's in my sig to at least 4.5ghz. The 860 hit 4.4ghz, but it was only SuperPi 1M stable.

Wow thats great!

I guess it been 32nm helps alot,What i want to know is though....they can only go so far with shrinking the die, 65nm,45nm,32nm....I wounder what will happen when they cant shrink them anymore?

nanotechnology =]

I see what you did thar

 

[ScottALot]

nanotechnology =]

nm = nanometer ... so aren't we already using nanotechnology?

I guess we'll have to make the CPU's bigger... until they consume the earth.

Probably a complete revolution on CPUs and CPU fab.

Got any pics of the setup? Or is not as attractive in person as it is on CPU-Z?

not really that impressive, but it packs a punch for a small computer.

i threw it together real quick, i didn't even bother cleaning up the wiring, which is very out of character. in my defense it was probably the fourth computer i built that day and it wasn't for a customer so i got lazy.

the article a few posts back explains what we mean by nanotechnology in this context, however I saw this article a few weeks back and was amazied by the figures:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/10146704.stm

However, the device is many times smaller than the components found in chips in contemporary computers. On chips where components are 22 nanometres in size, transistor gates are about 42 atoms across

The transistor is not the smallest ever created as two research groups have previously managed to produce working single-atom transistors.

Ur system looks good bro, those i3's are pretty impressive.
