After careful consideration I have decided to transfer all hardware review activities to a new domain. I purchased Hardwareasylum.com in 2012 and have been working hard to build a new and improved Ninjalane on that domain. If you are reading this you have reached one of the archived articles, news, projects and/or reviews that were left behind during the site migration.
Please update your bookmarks and be sure to visit the new and improved Ninjalane at Hardwareasylum.com

Benchmarks - Overclocked
Overclocking
As with all of our reviews we pit the default speed system against the overclocked one in a head to head byte match. The results of this can be seen below. The effective overclock here is 3.36Ghz with a FSB overclock of 1925Mhz (or 481Mhz x 4). This is quite impressive and shows the strength of the DFI bios, incidentally this also happens to be the same speed we attained on the LAN Party 680i.

Overclocking Conclusion
We must say overclocking on the Infinity NF650i is not only extremely easy but the results really speak for themselves. Keep in mind we attained these overlocks using a custom watercooler and an additional fan to keep the memory and Northbridge heatsink cool.
Overclocking depends largely on the available hardware and cooling solutions so depending on your setup the resulting overclock can and will likely vary.
