Cooling kings, Kingpin and Tin hit the top with huge overclocks
Extreme is a word that gets thrown about for almost anything, but mucking about with liquid nitrogen to get the highest gaming performance result from 3DMark 11 is extreme. Take that extreme crazy golf. Replace the ball with a grenade (preferably with a randomly determined fuse length) and then we're take you seriously.
Those magnificent mean and their overclocking machines have been at it again: Vince "K|ngp|n" Lucido and Illya "TiN" Tsemenko have posted list-topping scores of P24347 in 3DMark 11 and P79364 in 3DMark Vantage.
The hardware used included an EVGA Classified SR-2 motherboard, dual Intel Xeon X5690 CPUs, four custom-modified EVGA GeForce GTX 580 GPUs, and three 2GB Corsair Dominator GT GTX2 DDR3 memory modules. The duo used seven Kingpin liquid nitrogen pots to cool the CPUs, GPUs and the Intel 5520 chipset. There's a blow by blow account on the Corsair blog.
