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!

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

You're kidding right?!

That is a photo of a screen and last I checked it is possible to create that screen in an image editing program. Display full screen and snap - voila!

As for the overclock itself. Sure sounds impressive.

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:

you win the retard of the thread award. (just playing :D )

it isn't easily possible, that's what makes it so wowzers. what do you think the problem of bumping up clock speed is? heat, of course. i bet you that if you tried to cool Fugger's oc'ed setup with a conventional heatsink/fan, the cpu will fry faster than your brain can think.

heat is the biggest problem for all components actually, why do you think that intel/amd are shrinking the manufacturing process? on one hand, to lower the heat dissipation, etc etc.

Probably not, seriously though you would have to get a program to slow the CPU it would be too fast for the game this is the case with many older games.

While I admit this is insane and impressive, here is my analogy...

This is like someone taking a Porsche and making it so the speedometer reads it can go up to 800 miles per hour.

You can even start the car, rev the engine in park or neutral, and watch the needle get to 800 while the card is idle. However, if you even dared try to drive it, the engine would seize itself in a matter of seconds.

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By sphbecker · Posted

      You're right that it does not follow the plain meaning of the word, but in this context, it is a legal term defined in 49 U.S.C. Kind of how "wire fraud" laws apply even if a physical wire was not used. Given that it is codified in law, and it isn't just automotive journalists that don't understand evolving technology, I highly doubt congress would change a well understood term just because technology makes the term slightly less actuate.

      This is exactly why I keep saying we are not ready for human free self-driving. These little "bugs" are may seem like random one-offs. There was also the Waymo that drove between police with drawn weapons and the suspect they were pointing them at. From a software perspective it is easy to understand how those extremely rare situations may not have been programed for, but that is the point. If AI needs to be told to watch out for every possible contingency, then it can never be successful. There will always be the possibility of a first encounter that the AI needs to understand to avoid.

    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By RejZoR · Posted

      Recycle Bin has been broken for literal YEARS now. The setting to delete files older than 30 days from the bin which is on by default doesn't even work. I have files older than 4 months in it and they are just there still...
