Intel Core i5 overclocked to 6,92 GHz

We already know the ability of the processor Intel Core i5-660 accelerated under liquid nitrogen to the frequency of 6.5 GHz. And at this rate he copes with the test SuperPi 1M for a 6.515. From these results continues to explore the potential of overclocking chips Clarkdale.

In his hands was an engineering sample processor Clarkdale, which operates at a frequency of 3,47 GHz . At this time managed to get three world records. The first record is to maximize the overclock the processor. With liquid nitrogen increased the frequency of enthusiast Core i5 to 6,92 GHz.

 Core i5 6,92 GHz

At a frequency of 6.760 GHz managed to take a second record – from 6.344 in the discipline SuperPi 1M.

For the third record had to be extremely inflate the base frequency (BCLK). New record in this discipline is 279 MHz.

doubt, Clarkdale – is to replace the Core 2 Duo E8000.

The homemade tail reduce fuel vehicles by 15%

At the light there are many people who are unhappy with series-produced products and seeking to somehow improve their performance. Amateur improvements in some areas “grew up” in the entire industry to take, for example, car tuning. Most of the vehicles are tuning in order to increase their capacity and improve the appearance, but there are other directions.

For example, the Internet community, there Ecomodder.com , where cars are improved to make them more environmentally friendly – reduce fuel consumption, the amount of harmful emissions etc. One community member, Darren Cosgrove (Darin Cosgrove), presented the results of a simple aerodynamic experiment.

Ecomodder

He took the serial Pontiac Firefly and attached a “streamlined tail to it (judging by the photos, made almost from the adhesive tape and cardboard) in length 137 cm the results were very interesting – the car has reduced its drag coefficient from 0.34 to 0.23, and fuel consumption at a speed of 90 km/h fell immediately to the 15.1 per cent. To obtain a proven, Darren Cosgrove drove three segments according to the scheme ABA (with the “tail”, without him, and again with him) – and the results of the first and third segments entirely coincided.

Thus, it was proved that the presence of the rigid rear contributes greatly to fuel economy and improves the efficiency of any car. It remains to wait for that on this occasion “say” automakers.

The fact that the removal of excess heat from the main” hot spots “of the accelerator is formed on the original design PCB, dual-slot cooler is engaged in an active type, which makes the graphics card looks a lot like the spacecraft. This similarity is due not only characteristic streamlined plastic casing, but the presence of the two sides “turbines” with small red fans inside.

Protection of property: 16 units and devices

Protection of personal belongings from prying hands – a constant headache owners of any kind, whether it be some kind of domestic detail, or large objects, like houses or cars. These concerns gave rise to the light of the set of security devices and systems, but today we will focus on the most bizarre and spectacular representatives of this set.

zaschitny package buterbrodov

 protective sandwich bags

Type moldy sandwich scare off even the most arrogant office poedatelya foreign supplies. And the owner is sufficient to remove “decorated with” patches of green package to return the food look appetizing. However, there is a danger that allegedly spoiled food in the trash can send a cleaner or any particular advocate of ideological purity.

chashka with probkoy

Another personal view to be protected in the office – is a personal cup. Few if any of the staff wants he borrowed her personally, or any guest will drink from it until you wean or priboleete? A radical solution to the problem – tub with a hole in the bottom and cap, worn by the owner with them. In fact, the same finger will not stop a hole, so to speak, unauthorized users?

socket-cache

not climb – kill! Most of adequate human experiments with the connection of any abnormal structures in the power outlet, ended in childhood, and as a result of these energy sources are used exclusively on the case without attracting attention in the rest of the time. This “invisibility” – just what you need to organize an easily accessible cache. It remains only to pick up design, in common with these outlets.

Difficult to arrange a hiding place in the road, but there are solutions for this case. Imagine – produced special “purse” in the form of clearly worn and dirty clothes, which are likely to shun pick up even the customs officer. Snapshot of the products do not give out of aesthetic considerations.

 Protective false panels

originalnaya magnitola

To help protect against theft, car radios, as a rule, are equipped with removable lids. But there is a diametrically opposite way to protect – to close this headunit false panels, simulating antediluvian cassette “organ grinder”. Can assume that among car thieves, there are not so many collectors of antiquities.

 stickers scratches and rust

Another way to reduce the attractiveness of a car or motorcycle in the eyes of hijackers – stickers with artificial scratches or rust. Alas, the result is not quite the perfect appearance of the vehicle sought by many drivers.

Tesla coil guard Auto

Seriously scare the attacker can light show, organized by using the Tesla coil, combined with an alarm system. At least, this is much prettier than mutilate car stickers.

 protective system for bicycles

There is an elegant solution and against theft of bicycles. The system allows the construction of the rim lock inoperable should be discouraged from being stolen in such a useless bike.
