FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Cryo Velox Breaks Benchmark Records - Again!Velox sets new benchmark records by huge margin6/8/2009 Cryo Performance Computing breaks records again with the Cryo Velox flagship Desktop PC After great success with the water cooled Cryo Velox Cryo PC went on to develop the sub-zero cooling (phase change) option and have set a new record once again. Scoring 2,813 on the Custom PC benchmarks leader board. Cryo PC Buckingham Labs, March, 2009: Just when you thought a commercially available high performance PC couldn’t get any quicker Cryo PC did it again with their flagship PC the Cryo Velox. In December the first Core i7 / X58 version of the water cooled PC was made available and it took the number one benchmark spot. Since then engineers have been working hard looking for ways to improve on the best of the best. The obvious first choice was to add sub-zero cooling to the water cooled system already in the machine to give the processor that extra boost it gets when operating at a rather chilly minus 40°C. At extremes of cold electrons can zip through conductors far faster and with much less resistance and that’s what the Cryo Velox with the sub-zero Phase cooling option really enjoys. The prototype machine had the following component configuration: § Intel Core i7 965 Extreme, overclocked from 3.2GHz to 4.8GHz § Asus Rampage II Extreme motherboard § 3GB Corsair PC3-16000 memory, overclocked § OCZ 120GB Core V2 SSD drive § Zotac GTX 295 graphics, water cooled and overclocked § Lian Li A70 case, modified for the phase unit § Corsair HX 1000W PSU multi-rail § Asus Xonar D2X soundcard § Custom Phase unit for sun-zero cooling to minus 40C § Vista Premium 64-bit (Windows XP 32-bit dual boot used for the CPC benchmark) Most of these options are standard with the base machine priced at £3995 with a complete self contained water cooling system. After perfecting the design and setup and working through the stability testing and best configuration and setup it was ready to run some benchmarks. On Wednesday 25th March 2009 it was setup ready for a blazing run of the Custom PC benchmark and comfortably set a new record almost over 300 points ahead of its previously set water cooled score. The specification and configuration options available for the Velox can be found at the Cryo PC website http://www.cryopc.co.uk/cryo_velox.htm
 ADDENDUM: This record has again been beaten with a new score of 2990 by the refreshed Cryo Velox with the new Intel Core i7 975 CPU which has enabled engineers to get the processor to run at or near 5GHz processor clock speeds!
