Athlon64 FX-51 Overclocking:

Those guys over at VR-Zone have pictures of an overclocked Athlon64 FX-51 up from 2.2GHz to 3.05GHz. True it takes a lot of effort...well, it took dry ice and ethanol to do it, but it can be done. Last week Aceshardware got a 600MHz OC with a Prometeia. Very cool stuff here, very cool.

Our good friend Katsumi from Japan has overclocked his Athlon FX-51 (2.2Ghz) to over 3Ghz! He uses ASUS SK8N with the new 1003.003 BIOS that allow you to change the multiplier. The multiplier is set to 14x up from the default 11x but the current version of CPUZ cannot detect the actual multiplier as yet.
