Kreeg weer een handige tip van Sake: ome Tom heeft de multipliers van z'n Athlon zodanig verbouwd dat het ding nu stabiel op 750Mhz loopt. Tom is zoals gewoonlijk weer geheimzinnig over de methode die hij gebruikt heeft om de multiplier te flippen, maar het lijkt erop dat het hij dit op dezelfde manier heeft gedaan als de Japanners uit deze nieuwsposting. Hier heb je twee snippers uit dat artikel van Tom:
It was a very pleasant surprise to find out that our Athlons ran at up to 750 MHz without any additional means of cooling. This shows that the Kryotech-system could possibly run even faster. Athlon ran as stable as a rock, and when I say stable, I really mean it! I am not talking of crazy overclocking and calling a system stable that needs to be rebooted twice daily. Athlon performed really stable and any software I threw against it ran without any crashes for days.[...] I needed to change Athlon's core voltage a bit to run it at all the different clock speeds. You may think that I'm talking of higher voltages, but as a matter of fact the opposite was the case. Athlon would not run at 500 or 550 MHz unless I lowered the core voltage down to 1.45 V. On the other side, I only had to raise the core voltage from the default 1.6 V to 1.65 V and Athlon worked beautifully at 700 and 750 MHz. 800 MHz were left to the super-cooled Kryotech-Athlon, since I didn't want to tamper with my Athlon at higher voltages than 1.7 V and this was obviously not enough to run it at 800 MHz without Kryotech's cooling.
