Overclocked results



We took our best guess at the clockspeed SCAN would ship full-production models at and ran our DivX, CINEBENCH and Quake 4 benchmarks with a CPU speed of 3.2GHz (12 x 266MHz). The E.S. QX6700 CPU managed that speed at default voltage, aided by the excellent cooling employed by the Triad. The GPU speed was kept at default, due to a lack of knowledge surrounding the expected performance of GeForce 8800 GTXs once liquid cooled.







Both the multi-threaded benchmarks see a nice rise in performance. There's even an improvement in Quake 4, as the extra CPU grunt pushes average framerates up to 160FPS.
