A dream you say? Impossible? Charles Wirth, or "Fugger" as he's known by OCer's around the world, pushes DFI and Intel to the absolute edge of Xtreme, o?nce again bringing the world record back to the US by hitting 7.2GHz. Will it remain stable? Will it boot to Windows? How did he do it? Those answers and more!

I think it may be fake

Your kidding right? It is a photo taken with a camera dude not fake... If it was a screenshot taken of CPU-z or something maybe then it could easily be fake but look at it it is a photo and says the frequency and all the settings looks legit and it is ;)

Wasting? He isnt wasting anything man, it halfs the life of it the life is 20 years so he has 10 years that is plenty of time

i think you misread they guys post m8, technically he is risking wasting the cost of the processor & mobo/ram if it went pop!

actually the life of cpus is much shorter now, 0.13 should last 10 years and 0.09 about 8 years when running 24/7

I killed an athlonXP Tbred B only after 2 years running 24/7 overclocking it from 1667 to 2.4ghz and 400fsb with 1.95 Vcore (It was an AIUHB :D !). The chip slowly began failing and i had to lower the clock by 50mhz atleast once a week then it would not run over 1ghz even withth 2 volts, the chip was freid.

90nm would be worse, prescotts should not be run over 1.65volts, otherwise your looking at no more than 3 years.

But really who cares ? just pump that sucker with voltage, your gonna upgrade that cpu atleast every 2 years :yes:

      low latency mode is still bugged and causing bootup times slow to a crawl. To fix, you have to disable the feature with vivetool. Seems as though it's not rolled out to a lot of people yet since I've only been able to find only a handful of people that are having issues.

      I would recommend the Nothing 2a. The battery life is awesome, 2 or 3 days without going into battery power mode. The only thing that I've been looking into recently is that it doesn't "support" Graphene OS. I'm pretty sure there is a way, I just need to do some more looking.

      You'd have to show me an example of a listing that says Gen 1, usually i'd expect that to mean Snapdragon Gen 1 (a type of chipset, which the Pixels don't use). Pixel 7 - White - 128gb - Unlocked - 85%+ battery - Grade B+ - $159 with free delivery - https://www.ebay.com/itm/398046617206 Pixel 7 - Obsidian - 128gb - Unlocked - 80%+ battery - Very Good - $157 with free delivery - https://www.ebay.com/itm/355617734563 Both look to be sold by companies with good feedback, dealing with refurbished phones and state the phones are unlocked with a clean IMEI. Obviously I can't vouch for either company though, but the listings look good in my opinion.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By +mram · Posted

      Because Chrome is doing it. And no one said anyone had to update immediately. That's silly. They could update every day for all I care as long as it's fast, and the next time the browser restarts, you're good. And the basic point is not to tee it up for bigger updates. As it is right now, all the windows I had open reopen anyway except inprivate.

      Why? Does anybody actually want this? The constant need to close all browser sessions and wait for a new version to install, just so that there’s a integrated coupon manager feels like a waste of everyone’s time
