Last week LR brought you launch day coverage of AMD's Quad FX platform and today we take a closer look at overclocking this beast. With an updated BIOS and improved cooling we aim to beat our previous 200MHz overclock and get well over 3.2GHz on our test system. If you are intrested in seeing how AMD's fastest computer platform does when it comes to overclocking this article is a must read!
Although it is far from orthodox and practical I took the system outside and onto the patio for the rest of the time I spent overclocking it. St. Louis just had a huge ice storm and with about 3 inches of clear ice on the patio and plenty of snow I figured the nice below freezing temperatures would be the best way to cool AMD's Quad FX platform.
Thats right I forgot about the whole needing BFG WC 8800GTX's thing.
On the upside you can now buy the blocks at the Danger Den site just in case you have the dough/connections to buy 4 blocks and two more 8800GTX's lol.
I would'nt mind seeing some benches comparing 4x7950GT's to 2x8800GTX's im not implying anything Apop I know you aren't made of money I guess id just like to see 4 of the fastest single slot GPU's going at it. (im assuming thats the 7950GT)
