Core 2 Duo List

Booted at 3.35, but had to bump it back to 3.1 for 24/7 stable. Still at 3.1, that's a 40.9% overclock. That's on an MSI Neo2-FR Bios 1.8, 1.35v, 282 x 11. Temps are good for this amount of push. On water I get about 28 idle / 38 load in a hot and humid new england summer. Cons: Temp sensors are out of whack according to msi utilities, but coretemp works like a charm.

The unique performance was revisited in a full special, Live From the Kennedy Center: Classical Hip-Hop, over the weekend and now, fans can finally witness what went down at the Kennedy Center that night.

Nas illmatic kennedy center. Four years ago, celebrated the 20th anniversary of his magnum opus Illmatic by giving the album the classical treatment and performing it with the National Symphony Orchestra for the PBS special Great Performances.
