Tech Link (Industry): Kinc and crotale overclocks Live at DreamHack - 2 World records!

Sorry for the really late news posting, being away from home and lack of time to access the Internet the whole day of busy working is tough. So expect really slow activities this week. Anyway, just to brag again, Conroe managed to snag two world records: 3DMark06 and 3DMark2001. They are, by no means, an easy feat. Kinc and crotale managed to beat K|ngp|n's records. Expand the news below for more details.

The Sunday here at DreamHack has been quite extraordinary, Marcus "Kinc" Hultin and Robert "Crotale" Kihlberg have been working long and hard, sleep is apparently not vital when overclocking is involved, trying to set new performance world records. Earlier today Crotale and Kinc managed to get past Kingpin and his world record with 3Dmark06 which has to be considered an achievement out of the ordinary even for these two gentlemen considering the temperature here. About 5000 computers and the mid summer heat turned out to be too much for the air conditioning, which means that crotale and Kinc not only had to battle the regular difficulties when performing Live overclockings but also temperatures at 30°C/86°F and beyond all day long.
