Chillblast has needed to bump up the CPU, DDR2, and chipset voltage-lines by around five per cent in order to gain rock-solid stability at the overclocked speeds, we noted.
The final clockspeed may vary, but the Fusion Gemini should ship at CPU speeds in excess of 3.4GHz, and our review sample ran at 3.485GHz.
