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.

    • Rockstar confirms Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders begin next week, unveils cover art

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Rockstar confirms Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders begin next week, unveils cover art by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The release date of Grand Theft Auto VI has moved quite a lot since its original announcement in 2023, but it finally looks like the game has found its final launch slot. Rockstar today had a new video upload on its YouTube channel, and while it wasn't a new trailer for the game, the company revealed two things. This was the pre-order kickoff date for Grand Theft Auto VI as well as the game's official cover art. The company revealed that June 25 is when fans of the series will be able to pre-order their copy of Grand Theft Auto VI. Pre-orders will be available both digitally and in retail stores. The newly unveiled cover art shows off the two new protagonists, as well as a few more characters that are probably vital to the campaign storyline. Shots of vehicles players can use like a light helicopter, motorcycle, sports car, and speed boat are also seen here, alongside a shot of a crocodile. "Jason and Lucia have always known the deck is stacked against them," says Rockstar describing the campaign's protagonist duo. "But when an easy score goes wrong, they find themselves on the darkest side of the sunniest place in America, in the middle of a conspiracy stretching across the state of Leonida — forced to rely on each other more than ever if they want to make it out alive." Grand Theft Auto VI is coming to Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 on November 19, 2026. A PC version has not been confirmed yet, though it's expected by many to land after the console release. When asked about this, the Take-Two CEO says it considers the core audience for the Grand Theft Auto franchise to be on consoles.

    • How to fix a Secure Boot error on Windows 11: No boot device found.

      By +Warwagon · Posted

      In rare occasions when you turn your computer on you will be greeted with a Secure Boot error followed by the message "No boot device found" If you go into the UEFI and disable Secure Boot the system boots up just fine. Below is a method I found online to fix the issue Disable Secure Boot and boot into Windows (If Bitlocker is enable you'll have to go to https://aka.ms/myrecoverykey on another device to find your bitlocker recovery key). Find a flash drive and make sure it's formatted Fat32 Create a folder on the flash drive called EFI and a subfolder inside EFI called BOOT On your computer navigate to C:\windows\boot\EFI Copy the file SecureBootRecovery.efi to your flash drive\EFI\BOOT Now reboot the computer and tell the computer to boot off that flash drive. You should see a black screen with some text telling you it has repaired Secure Boot Turn Secure Boot back on and reboot and your computer should boot normally.
