Australian unityofsaints took first place in the model ranking for the dual-core AMD Phenom II X2 555 BE processor in the SuperPi - 32M discipline.
Armed with liquid nitrogen, a set of excellent CORSAIR Dominator GT DDR3 RAM (CMG6GX3M3A2000C7), and a top-tier GIGABYTE GA-890FXA-UD7 motherboard, the overclocker pushed the Phenom II X2 555 BE chip to 6699 MHz.
