About Clay

I'm a Data Center Operations Engineer in beautiful Charleston, SC. I'm happily married to my wonderful wife Nan and we have an teenage daughter Lela. I'm a total geek. I got into electronics when I was around 9 or 10 and got hooked on computers shortly thereafter. I also love Sci-Fi, (not fantasy) particularly Star Trek. My favorite outdoor activities include rollerblading, biking and hiking. I'm also a bit of a car guy and amateur racing driver.

An overclocker’s dream come true


A 4.1 GHz Dual Core at $130 – Can it be True? | Tom’s Hardware

My buddy Jason sent over this link about a (currently) $130 chip that is dual core and will do 4.1Ghz without breaking a sweat. If you’re looking to build a cheap top-end performer, you may want to grab one of these before they’re all gone. However, if you want to reach 4.1Ghz, be prepared to shell out some cash for a serious water cooling solution. Also, like most Intel chips this one is a power hungry beast, so get the biggest, baddest PSU you can find.
