Pentium 4 Oveclocked To 6.3GHz

INTEL FAILED miserably to deliver a 4GHz Pentium 4 but overclockers just never say die. Probably because they don't have to spend $2 billion on a fab.

We got this nice link where you can see that if you are using home built compressors you can ###### a microprocessor up just as much as you want Chap that calls himself Fugger manage to do this on DFI 875P-T motherboard using 3.6 GHz P4, Centon Advanced DDR TCCD, OCZ DDR Booster. [Didn't Charlie write this one last week, Fudo? Ed.]

He cooled this rug with Chilly1 three stage CPU cascade.

I guess that guys at DFI did a good job with their motherboard and this OCZ DDR booster has to be a nice thing since all of the serious overclockers are using it.

So even Intel stopped the megahertz chase there is a big community that hasn?t.

Yeah that's insane. I heard he fried the system after a few days though. It happened after he rebuilt his HD. Fortunatly it was only the OCZ Booster that cooked. But you have to see the condenser he has hooked up the that board to keep the sucker cool!!! :omg: :omg: :omg: The thing looks sick and takes up half the room!

Props though to him, to bad it takes so much work to keep a machine running like that.

isnt this old news? and it wasnt bench stable at that speed or is this another 6ghz+ landmark?

This just happened earlier this month. I'm not sure if he has it up and running again or not. Supposedly he did get a "true" clocking over 6Mhz. I think he had to do something like put a PCI video card in to do it though.

Hes using a phasechange cooling setup i think they said like 3 phasechange systems in one big one, but i could be wrong. Sure its an amazing overclock but it isnt practicle for everyday use. Yes i know its just so he can say i hit 6.3ghz but id rather say i hit 4.5ghz and can game on it daily. Im sure a few of you also are like this also. But all and all thats an amazing overclock.

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval by David Uzondu Image via @realDonalTrump (X) As OpenAI prepares the release of its next model, GPT 5.6, the White House has instructed the company to limit the distribution of the software to a small group of government-approved partners instead of the general public, as it has done with previous releases. According to The Information, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman sent an internal memo to staff on Thursday explaining that the federal government will approve access "customer by customer" during an initial preview phase. Altman noted in the communication that this restrictive rollout is "not [their] long-term model" for software deployment, and the company plans to work toward a "more sustainable" distribution method later. CNN said that both OpenAI and the Trump administration view the capabilities of GPT 5.6 on the same level as Anthropic's Mythos and that government officials intend to "collaborate with frontier AI labs to develop shared approaches for addressing the challenges of scaling this technology." The latest restriction comes just weeks after the US Commerce Department decided to restrict Fable, a version of Mythos with extra safety "guardrails" to prevent users from exploiting software vulnerabilities. Not long after the release, though, researchers at Amazon found a way to bypass these restrictions, prompting an aggressive response from federal authorities. The government ordered Anthropic to cut off access for non-US citizens located outside the US, non-US citizens living inside the US, and incredibly, even Anthropic's own foreign-born employees. Anthropic now appears to be building a workaround to resolve this compliance block with an update to its Privacy Policy that introduces a category called "Verification Data" to handle KYC and Digital IDs. This setup could mandate digital identity checks to filter users by nationality, requiring a government-issued ID and facial biometric data. Who knows? Maybe in the future, you would have to scan your US Passport or State ID to prove your citizenship before you are allowed to chat with Fable 5 (or any other model).
    • When Windows 7 was released I created an AutoHotkey script that uses Alt+` as a keyboard shortcut to move a window across monitors. I have been using that script for over 15 years and this is the first time I have come across another app that uses the same shortcut!
    • I called it last year that they wouldn't end support when they said there would. There are too many people still on Windows 10 waiting for something better to upgrade to and 11 ain't it! The recent promises of fixing Windows 11's many problems is nice, but unless they deliver on those promises in a big way then I expect customers will still want to stick with 10.
