______________________

So it is no surprise that these two companies held a private overclocking event on Friday December 15, 2006 to push the Kentsfield and the AW9D-Max to the extreme with the help of some of the biggest names in overclocking. So what happens when you get a retail Kentsfield, an AW9-D Max (modded hipro5 from Xtreme Systems style), a three stage cascade system, and a big container of ln2 (liquid Nitrogen) in a room alone with Charles “Fugger” and Don “Philly-boy” from Xtremesystems? Driver Heaven has the answer.

Yeah but did windows xp solitaire play smooth with full AA,AF and HDR? Now that would be hardcore.

Nice event and congratulations to all involved. Glad I've just ordered an Abit motherboard now.

It was one complete unit, but it was a compressor cooling a compressor cooling a compressor. Hand built by fugger itself, the damn thing sucked up so much juice we blew abit's breaker a few times and when the circuit went, the server went with it lol

very good board, very hard to get it oc and stable without mods and water/phase cooling

also the stock north chipset cooles sucks big time, thats first thing which needs to be replaced
