BIOSTAR were quick to notice that a talented overclocker has taken one of their "V-RANGER" series GeForce 8600GTS graphics cards and whacked a waterblock onto it to produce some pretty amazing clockspeeds, what they felt worthy for a press release in fact.

The french overclocker was able to bring the core right up to a whopping 1023MHz with 2320 MHz memory clockspeeds, this giving him a 3DMark06 result of 8100 points with a Core2Quad @ 4480 MHz. Needless to say this is a world record result for the 8600GTS.
