Strategy

The Athlon K75 750 offers a decent possibility of reaching upwards of 1000 MHz with the use of Peltier or liquid-based cooling technologies. Traditional cooling can net returns exceeding 900 MHz with little effort beyond the installation of a replacement forced-air heatsink. Operating temperatures need to be monitored closely at speeds approaching 1 GHz. Even the efficient .18-micron Athlon core can produce high thermal loads at this level.
