A dream you say? Impossible? Charles Wirth, or "Fugger" as he's known by OCer's around the world, pushes DFI and Intel to the absolute edge of Xtreme, o­nce again bringing the world record back to the US by hitting 7.2GHz. Will it remain stable? Will it boot to Windows? How did he do it? Those answers and more!

Thanks to W2S

wow...

I think it may be fake

just get liquid nitrogen for the cooling and you're set

**** that's only 6 ghz faster than my comp

I wonder how many coolers he had to use to counteract a Meld-Down effect.

Your kidding right? It is a photo taken with a camera dude not fake... If it was a screenshot taken of CPU-z or something maybe then it could easily be fake but look at it it is a photo and says the frequency and all the settings looks legit and it is

edit: BTW this has already been posted in Overclocking & PC Modding

how he got it to boot into windows, if he actually did, is beyond me.

damn chapo for this guy !

nothing compared to the ones in the labs of: intel amd ibm and us govnmt. to us tho, its like, o m g.

W00T!
Can't wait to see that monster to be stable...

he must have a **** load of money to be wasting cpu's like that

Wow.... that's 4.8GHz faster than mine.

Wasting? He isnt wasting anything man, it halfs the life of it the life is 20 years so he has 10 years that is plenty of time

dude its FUGGER its NOT FAKE!

Man that is...wow.

dont get me wrong i dont doubt Fugger, but come on guys if this was easily possible wouldnt intel/AMD do it at factory for the ultimate edge over the other?

as his orgininal post on the other forum ill wait for it to boot into windows before being gobsmacked totally

looking good thou

Omfg, thats cool!

i think you misread they guys post m8, technically he is risking wasting the cost of the processor & mobo/ram if it went pop!

Guys... he got it stable @ 5.9 ghz.. he can only go to BIOS @ 7.2

yeah... bit of an over statement really then if it isn't stable, but never the less 5.9ghz is still quite a lot

Omg, WOW

lol nice

actually the life of cpus is much shorter now, 0.13 should last 10 years and 0.09 about 8 years when running 24/7

I killed an athlonXP Tbred B only after 2 years running 24/7 overclocking it from 1667 to 2.4ghz and 400fsb with 1.95 Vcore (It was an AIUHB !). The chip slowly began failing and i had to lower the clock by 50mhz atleast once a week then it would not run over 1ghz even withth 2 volts, the chip was freid.

90nm would be worse, prescotts should not be run over 1.65volts, otherwise your looking at no more than 3 years.

But really who cares ? just pump that sucker with voltage, your gonna upgrade that cpu atleast every 2 years

wow

That is so amazing, I'd kill to have his system (Not Literally).

XinanZhang™

woot

Can someone pm me why I can't post on that forum? I sign up and I can't post... I can only view.. I can't pm anyone there too...

But is it 100% stable or just playground bragging.

PS Who the hell is Fugger are we supposed to know him

Who

rofl i was thinking the same thing.

hes a master at overclocking

Wow his e-wang is enormous...

^ahhaahah


7ghz wow~

Ill be amazed when windows boots and he gets some graphic/CPU intense games running. Until then, its only the BIOS. Not really alot you can do in your BIOS. Except look at the overclock and be happy about it, then wondering how to get it to run stable.

I can get my Sempron to 2.4Ghz now stable booting to windows. I can pump it up to around 2.99-3.01Ghz just to boot in the BIOS though. I dont know how to get it to run stable, so Ill not risk frying my computer and just let things be.

thats fast! too bad it has issues lol

Cooling that isn't very hard, all you need is a potted peltier. Its powering the 400w peltier alongside your PC thats the challenge...

wow this guy is amazing

I glad someone finally said it... Everyone's actind like this is some message board god...

This is not the 1st time that Fugger is here read this

Wow thats insane...

Wow, that is awesome

That is one giant OC but I would really like to see a stable version played with some games then see hwo it goes.

go sleep with your servers and leave the thread alone

and ueah, fugger did it again, i doubter he would reach 7ghz, now he needs to get it to boot in windows!

How can you respond like that to the answer of your question? Obnoxious.

interesting. dude has some skills.

I wouldn't mind playing Half-Life 2 with that. I can probably play Half-Life 3 with that.

His cooling system is probably like a pipe running directly from his computer to like antarctica or something.

Can it run OS X ... that is the question

(note: the above is just a friendly joke)
