Prometeia Mach II GT + G3258

So if I can be bothered and assuming it still works what do you reckon my little Pentium chip would achieve under my old phase cooler??
About a decade or so ago (maybe longer) I got a stable 1Ghz overclock for 24/7 use on my Athlon 64 FX63 cpu.
Sadly I can no longer afford to wipe out motherboards or GPU's due to poor sealing whilst playing with phase change or peltier cooling but I am feeling a stirring and a desire to strap the Prometeia to my G3258 and attack my R9 270x a DD maze 4 equipped 125w peltier.
Of course it wont get anywhere on current benchmarks but it would be interesting to see what it could do to 3d mark 2001 lol or 2003 or even 2005.

Haswell is the best at those legacy benches yes. Try em.

As for Pentium K I never really tried it cold. I presume about 5.5 on Mach2 possible.

I would be interested to see what results ya get with that, i scrapped mine years ago, Core2 Duo was the last chip viable, the quads just kicked out too much heat for the retail units.

Was never quite the same after them magic athalon xp chips which would double their stock speed with stock voltage.
