Overclocked Performance and Power Consumption

Power Consumption

Notes

To really see how far we could push the performance envelope, not only is the Core 2 Extreme CPU overclocked to 4.1GHz, but we’ve also cranked up the DDR3 speeds to 1800MHz (with higher latency of course). We were so giddy about hitting these speeds that we’re debating about doing a full article with more benchmarks, but we’ve got quite a few new items on the testbeds nowadays…
