Atomic And Team.AU shatter more records

Josh Collins gets a hold of Skulltrail. Records will fall...

On the weekend Atomic’s Josh ‘moloko’ Collins caught up with his Team.AU mate James ‘pro’ Trevaskis for some sub-zero testing.

This kind of testing has become a near weekly event, thanks to some pretty serious hardware releases, with copious amounts of dry ice and liquid nitrogen consumed over the past few weeks. Add to this, cascade units being pushed to the limits to pump out some frozen lovin’ for over 12 hours straight to keep up with the benching crew, there’s been a steady flow of results putting Australian overclocking on the global map.

Today is another great day for us as Atomic and the Team.AU boys to push out another solid world record. This time around it’s the global outright record for the wPrime 32M benchmark.

Managing to utilise the raw power of Intel’s recently released ‘Skulltrail’ platform, based around the processing powerhouse of the two Core 2 Extreme QX9775 processors, we’re very proud to have pushed it to the current furthest limit of 5.33GHz.

Congratulations to everyone involved; this result further shows the possibility for Australian’s to play on the world stage and take it to the next level of enthusiast computing.
