Overclocking with GA-P55A-UD3

Overclocking with GA-P55A-UD3
« on: January 01, 2011, 11:07:48 am »
Just a quick post about my experience with liquid nitrogen on my GA-P55A-UD3 motherboard.  I wasn't really expecting any great performance from my budget board.  I prepped the board, mounted the pot, then started pouring the LN2, was really surprised how low in temp I could go (-180c) :) thanks to hicookie mod.
After a while of tweaking, I managed 6.5Ghz with an i5 655k.





Was impressed how this board copped, just wondering what I could with a highend board ;D ;)

Yes sure, if I'm invited ;D.  Was at the GOOC 2010 at Milton Keynes as a spectator, was the guy with the little boy.  Took this video, don't know if you've already seen it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m26-y75aLe4
