MSI fixes coldbug issue on P55 motherboards breaks WR

MSI managed to eliminate the coldbug issue that extreme overclockers were experiencing with the company's P55 motherboards. Sure enough, they got what they wanted. After MSI took notice, recognizing and resolving a known coldbug issue on P55 (when used in conjunction with Clarkdale processors) that limits extreme overclockers from touching the skies and beyond in the overclocking realm.

On 1/18, marketing team hold a US/EU OC Summit, MSI invited 19 overclockers to Taiwan and do some first-hand overclocking test of Big Bang Trinergy/Fuzion (review here). The gentlemen prefered Clarkdale on P55 to achieve incredible clock frequencies (highest clock is 7GHz). But during the OC Summit, many overclocker encountered a coldbug issue which mean the Big Bang motherboards can't be functional under extreme low temperature (-90 degree), as a result everybody ran into problems.

MSI now issued a small hardware fix for the overclockers as you can see on the second photo.

Overclocker massman gave it another go and he achieved a WPrime 32M world record @ 7sec 329ms with a clock rate of 6485MHz, not bad ;)
