Fugger breaks 7.2GHz!

[LFC]

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, o?nce 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!

wow...

[icetohot]

I think it may be fake

[insanekiwi]

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

[golazo]

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

[PureLogic]

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

[Matt]

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

[Lycan]

damn chapo for this guy ! (Y)

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

[NienorGT]

W00T!

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

[golazo]

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

[ZZOOzzoo]

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

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

[inum]

dude its FUGGER its NOT FAKE!

[YBG]

Man that is...wow.

[Mando]

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 :yes:

[Rablet]

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!

[Help]

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

[Rix]

Omg, WOW :|

[GameOverRob]

lol nice

[Visentinel]

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 :D !). 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 :yes:

[Elmo]

wow
