The yet to be released AMD Phenom II X4 processor has an incredible overclocking capability. On air cooling alone the Phenom II was able to reach around 4Ghz at 1.55V at a temperature of around 32ºC. Then a water cooled model at 1.6V was able to break the 4Ghz limit. It was able to reach 4.4Ghz using a vapochill setup which reached temperatures of around 39ºC. Then with the LN2 setup the Phenom II reached an amazing in excess speed of 5Ghz and boot speed of 6Ghz+
The main problem with overclocking processors is the insane temperatures they can reach. The Phenom II is well within safe temperatures that wont compromize the life and performance of the processor. I’ve seen some intel processors reach up to 100ºC!! So the Phenom is deffinately doing well for itself. And combine it with some of the new Radeon 4800 Graphics cards and an AMD 7 series chipset based motherboards, you’ll have one of the ultimate gaming/performance rigs out on the market.

Microsoft knows that Nintendo is the console company that “puts more smiles on more faces,” so it doesn’t really bother trying to compete on the “happy factor”. Instead, Microsoft wants to invade your dreams, filling them with mouth creatures. The company’s newest creative idea is for the iNiS developed Xbox 360 singing game Lips, in which a man is haunted by a stalking pair of sentient, lyric-forgetting lips. Thanks to Kotaku.
