Andre Yang, a civil engineer doing his PhD. in the US obtained a high-performing Core 2 Duo E8600 processor, he succeeded in overclocking this chip to a stellar 6.70 GHz clock-speed (FSB 672.16 x 10.0). The processor uses liquid-nitrogen (LN2) cooling and surprisingly this processor was overclocked on a motherboard with the Intel X48 chipset, the ASUS Rampage Extreme when previous record-holders across several recent processors made use of either the Intel P35 or P45-based motherboards. The validation page for this overclock can be reached here

But is it Pi stable?....:Dlol

I'm looking for a Pi score by this guy. Well....it's validated, that's 20% journey crossed.

Damn, i take back what I said in some other thread about 8600s not being worth it. that is awesome.

But can he play crysis at 60fps?!

I wonder what the voltage was.

Interesting that previous oc record holders used P35 and P45 chipset based mobos.. i did know that P35 boards are that powerful.. i happen to own one..

young padawan, you know not the power you have in your hands

CPUZ validation is just getting that lucky screenshot saved before the suicide overclock fails.......

P35's and P45's can reach much higher FSB's than X38s/48s for some reason the FSB WR is currently held by a biostar i45 @702mhz or so

i want 10ghz and i want it now

Ha ha, pretty awesome score there.

That's pretty insane but not very practical for every day tasks.

dude if i had a 1000gl ln2 tank and i could get it cheap from somware idc how nasty it looks id be cruisin 6ghz all the time.

Damn, it seems like just the other day when shit like 1,2,3,4, etc ghz was insane . . . now 4ghz oc is pretty much expected with little to no effort.

you spend less on a biostar and a 8400 than you would on a asus and a 8600.

That's b/c biostar has been making good boards for a few years now. The bios may be shoddy or just plain shit, but the boards have been pretty good.

well ever heard of mod bios writers? Also what about that T-Power 750 overclocking to that 6 GHz clock?

Sick score!

10ghz or im not impressed.

But alas i remember when the 1ghz Barrier was broken, everyone wanted one, only a few could afford them, back then i had a summer job mowing lawns and saved and saved and saved, and at the end of the summer i walked away with an Athlon 1.1B 256mb of PC100, and a large 40gb ATA100 drive, it took every penny though, why can't that still be fast, i spent 1200 on it.

:eek:

i mowed everyday for 2 and a half months, charged 10 an hour, and spent about 14 hours a day mowing, from sun up to sundown. I wanted to replace my Pentium 133 badly, granted i didn't work always 14 hours a day, but i busted my but that summer, i had just turned 14. The real pain was paying my dad back for the lawnmower, and then mowing 2-4 acre fields with a 3.5 Briggs and Stration Push mower. Oh the fun, but i earned my computer, now here is the funny part i wanted the best money could buy because i want to play CFS2 and FS98 lol.

That and my dad had a PII 450, 128mb PC100, 20gb HD and i wanted to be faster, i sucedded till next summer when i bought an Athlon 1.4, 512mb PC133, and a new 80gb drive and of course his Geforce3 to compete with my Geforce 2 GTS

what a hell , 6.7 this is insane , i want too see some video on youtube or something i want too believe it

Wow, I feel so lazy lol. I got my pc by working in a pizza shop only 15-20 hours a week and just on weekends and quit as soon as I got a girlfriend and wanted my weekends back. And then I upgraded with graduation money.

Nice, and we still have a lot more people to try to beat that score /cheers!

Hey guys,

I've overclocked my E8600 to 4GHz with Intel's standard cooling. It's stable obviously, 400x10 @ 1.3v. I can keep overclocking, and notching up the voltage, but when I get up to around the 1.8v mark, isn't that really going to reduce the life of my CPU? Like.. Massively?

That's what I understand anyway... If someone could dispel that rumour, I'll overclock like crazy :P - Thanks guys!
