6 February 2006 By: Adrian Stanciu, Sci-Tech News Editor Japanese Manage to Overclock A Pentium 4 All the Way Up to 5 GHz Pentium 4 Model 631 Many doubted that such a performance could be achieved, but the information posted on a Japanese website goes to prove with scree
hots and pictures that a basic Pentium 4 processor was successfully pe
uaded to go up to 5 GHz. One of the most important features that made this experiment possible was the cooling system, which didnt use Liquid Nitrogen as one might expect (co
idering that is the usual substance for such extreme cooling tasks). The Japanese used a gas cooling solution and a big part of the equation was the huge heatsink and all the big fa
around the processor. According to information posted by The Inquirer and tra
lated directly from the Japanese source, the processor at stake is a basic model 631, which usually ru
quietly at 3 GHz, but now was overclocked to 5 GHz
