The world of overclocking is a relatively vast one, when you start getting into it, and it attracts many people with the promise of higher speed and bragging rights as well as the allure of gaining new life out of older hardware. An overclocker by the name of Brian McLachlan, or chew*, has set record 3DMark '06 scores, using stock AMD Phenom II X4 955 processors, using all sorts of methods ranging from air to dry ice and liquid nitrogen. His initial post about his results can be found over here, and we have included a YouTube video about it below.If you're interested in the results then have a gander below.

if you turn up all the settings it is the hardest game on a computer in terms of how hard it is on resources to date.
As does mine! Intel Core 2 FTW
yea but not at 2560x1600
Bang on.
I remember the good old days when Far Cry and Halo were the benchmarks.
*sniff* I feel old
going at 6.4Ghz I mean seriously.
Around 5.6GHz, which means the Phenom II shown above would be faster.
Faster how? Because the number is higher? That doesn't mean anything....
Let me ask you.
Do you expect the underdog not to put up a fight when they're struggling?
family guy FTW !
Do you expect AMD not to make commercials touting their products?
Spend my spare time playing with liquid nitrogen to get a high CPU clock, or a real life?
Im happy with my 2.8Ghz P IV, and the ability to show myself in public with no visible screen tan

He clearly sits in front of his PC day and night. He clearly has no life. Apparently you do (or so you claim). You're the cool kid, he's the geek.
If you have a life why are you on a 100% geeky forum? Why do you waste your time posting crap instead of going out to show yourself in public?
Seriously...

Yea probably faked some how, also no Core Voltage, which is weird.
