So in what different are the internals compared to the Phenom II X4 955? Since it is geared toward the extreme overclocking crowd, it is a high SIDD chip. This is an engineering term which means it has a high leakage. In simpler words, the TWKR processors can be supplied more voltage, thus power, and [...]

Back when I started overclocking my RAM with a few sets of DDR, t he voltage those old TCCD chips could take was insane by todays standa rds and the heat they produced was sometimes unbearable. Then there weren t too many commercially available options to give the memory its own d edicated airflow. I [...]

For our liquid nitrogen testing we insulated the motherboard with a combination of artist eraser and Vaseline and mounted our K|ngp|n F1EE liquid nitrogen pot on top of the CPU with a dab of Arctic Silver Cerami que for the thermal compound. After pulling the pot down to around -188 C elsius we began our [...]

Quote: I am very impressed by what I achieved with the TWKR. Going extreme cooling allowed for a great boost in frequency. What amazed me the most is that the processor required much lower voltages than the previous Phenom II chips. Even when overclocked to around 5GHz, it did not need more than 1.6V. However, [...]
