Fugger breaks 7.2GHz!

[dougal.s]

Will this run OS X Tiger?? That is the greater question!! ;)

Not a bad overclock.

Dougal.

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!

BAH.. that news was so yesterday.. (just kidding)

Yeah.. fugger is always beating world records. World record was 6.2 I think..

[Xer34]

Insane..

[dotRoot]

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

You'd probably be lucky to play minesweeper with a setup just like that.

[jack_canada]

WOW....

[mimeryme]

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.

my god thats insane lol

[Coffeee]

Think i could get DOS games working on that? :shifty: Those are the shiznit! :p

[Tran]

Damn... That's just crazy.

[emo]

[TwIzTiD_Juggalo]

Yes..

[Matrix XII]

Cooling anyone? :p

[nomis_nehc]

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.

holy crap!

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.

my computer would explode lol :laugh:

till after some time working on it, finding solutions it finally gets stable :)

i really hope he would ge ###### stable

:laugh: thats nice (Y) whooo 800MPH :woot: :rofl: As for the overclock :o

[JiveMasterT]

thats nice. sure, im impressed, but i really wanna see the melted pile of goo when things go sour.

[rkv]

i dont get it my friend has his p4 3.6 ghz extreme edition overclocked to 8.4 ghz and its been on for like a month now and its very stable i will be runnin Sisandra benchmark on that soon but how is that he has a higher ghz than all these "world records say"? and no he does'nt use any nitrogen cooling
