7.3GHz done

[blossa]

I had planned to stop benching for a while and take away everything from my desk, but then 'chefnr1' (sweden) called and said that he had some LN2 left after his latest session.
So, at midnight I started playing with a Celeron 331 but what ever I did I could not save any result over 100% OC. :( Any Hints?

Anyway, I had bought a Celeron D 360 Cedar Mill just for fun. It costed less than 100USD here in Sweden.

To my surprise 100% OC was done easy.

6999MHz

Hrm, nearly 7GHz... would it do 7.1GHz?

7113MHz

I could not believe it was so easy! How about 7.2GHz? Just upped the Vcore to 1.93v made it.

7217MHz

Now it started to get unstable... I had problem saving my results but finally I managed to break 7.3GHz.

7310.77MHz

:banana: :banana:

I am not sure if the board (ASUS P5WDG2 WS Pro) survived but I will test it more this evening.

OMG 7,3Ghz :D Well done, congratulations! :P

[anarinsk]

Absolutely superb! Good job.:woot:

[massman]

Great work !

[blossa]

Thanks! Thats was about the funniest friday night I have had sober! ;)

[|Aegi3|]

well done, awesome oc!

[aspms*]

Maybe you have captured some SPi results? But anyway good job- some points for hwbot! :clap:

[ent]

nice score! congrats! :woot:

Benching those 65nm Cellies on LN2 is really funny :D

[blossa]

Thanks! :)

Yes, they are really funny. Compared with a Kentsfield or X6800 pouring LN2 is a pure pleasure on this one. :) -119-> -121 all the time without problem. At -125 the motherboard goes down.

Actually I did not run any benchmark. I planned to run SP1M, 32M and PiFast atleast after I had found max OC. But suddenly the PSU started to give me some PIPs so I guess that either the board is broken or (if I am lucky) I just had a temporary shortcut on it. I have dryed the board now and I plan to test it later this evening.

[Hystrix^]

Lol, insane clockspeed and very nice pics :)

[L'enFer]

amazing!.. was it really so easy?

[kemo]

Congrats guys
Nice work

[eBoy0]

Incredible....:slobber:

[bauer]

Nice job man!

[Revv23]

awesome, about time someone broke 7ghzz with more then bios shots :)

[Brettbeck]

Awesome overclock!

Now push it more :D!

[blossa]

Thanks everyone! :)

The board seems to work so I will try an E6600 retail now. I have just got the chip so I do not know how it performes. This is also my first test with dual-core. ;)

I would like to test the Celerons once more but I am running out of time so I only have time for a quick test on each CPU. :(

[Misko]

@blossa, yours pot is brassed one I guess? Do you know maybe temps on ln2 of CPU? if cold bug is under -150C, maybe 8ghz milestone is very close :toast:

[blossa]

I just tried the E6600 but I seem to be limited by the board (max FSB at about 470). :( I can do ~4.2GHz with 1.68V Vcore. I raised all the way up to 1.85V but no luck. The other voltages has been tried to the 'limit'. Also, as I plan to use this E6600 in a HTPC I do not want to break it. ;) Also, the E6600 seems to stop at about 105-110 degrees.

Misko82: Hrm... I can not see temps in windows and I only have a sensor in the bottom of the pot. What I meant earlier was that when the BIOS reads -125 degrees on the CPU, then the board stops working. One way to get around that should be to run higher Vcore. Last night I had to stop at 1.93V, maybe I should try the Celeron again instead of the Kentsfield? :D

EDIT: changed the FSB-limit from 270->470. My mistake.

[Drunner611]

Simply Ridiculous

[blossa]

Thanks! I only have the EVGA 680i and ASUS P5WDG2 WS Pro (975) so the ASUS-board it is. :)

[Turrican]

nice clocks, congratz :)

[Podstavsky]

You have beaten polish (and till yesterday world's) record for this CPU (7GHz)...
Congratulations :) Nice job!

[celerity]

Well done!

Bra jobbat!

P.S Skewning där! Är själv från Lund dock :).

[nn_step]

with a lucky Netburst, pretty much.
Wonderful overclock though.
(it never actually lived up to the 50Ghz predicted speed though)

[PcCI2iminal]

well done Blossa

:clap:

[runmc]

nice achievement bro :toast:

[JMKS]

You have beaten polish (and till yesterday world's) record for this CPU (7GHz)...
Congratulations :) Nice job!
You misunderstood a little ;) - that 7GHz was on Celly352 (and till yesterday it was a WR for a whole Celeron family) and this is still WR for 352 - Poland is still holding it :D.

And, of course, great result this 7,3GHz! :clap:

[blossa]

Thanks everyone!! :toast:

amazing!.. was it really so easy?
Yes it was. I guess it took about 3 hours from unpacking the CPU until I posted the result on the TechSweden forum. I guess I got some condesation problem at the end of the session, otherwise I would have continued pushing it.

I had to give it another try this evening but I ran out of LN2 so no luck. I was up to 1.97v on Vcore but had big problems getting it stable. Also, I guess that something has taken the beating because yesterday I could boot time after time at 6.5GHz, today I could hardly boot at 6GHz. At the end of the session I could hardly boot at 5GHz.

Well, even if something got broken this was well worth it! :D

[Pete]

7.3Ghz...christ. Only if a E6600/6700 could do that! Sub 5 second super pi 1M?

[Gautam]

Interestingly enough, due to the nature of Pi, a Conroe at those speeds would only pull off a time in the 7 second range.

One of the fastest CPU's in existence in terms of raw MHz--and its a Celly! :toast:

[before]

Amazing clocks! I'm speechless dude... :)

[ANP !!!]

Holy :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: ..... WOW :slobber: :slobber: :slobber: :slobber:

[blossa]

Thanks again all! :)

I like to think that I am rather organized when overclocking but I am still not as experienced as many of you.

As the chip is so dawn cheap I predict that 7.5GHz will fall within a few weeks. :) Not by me, but by one of you guys! On a board that is table when giving ~2v Vcore I do think it is possible with this chip.
I did have problems holding the temp over 1.95V but a more experienced person might handle it better than me.

[Podstavsky]

You misunderstood a little ;) - that 7GHz was on Celly352 (and till yesterday it was a WR for a whole Celeron family) and this is still WR for 352 - Poland is still holding it :D.

JMKS, damn! You're right man! I was convinced that our country record made D360 (what a mistake). Anyway - good job :cool:

[blossa]

Everything above 7GHz counts. :D But I must say that my result feels like a 'normal' result now that 8GHz has been broken. ;)

Podstavsky: I think we should try to get the WR to Nothern Europe. :D

[flclisgreat]

sweat overclock. good job

[Podstavsky]

1.Everything above 7GHz counts. :D But I must say that my result feels like a 'normal' result now that 8GHz has been broken. ;)

2.Podstavsky: I think we should try to get the WR to Nothern Europe. :D
1.That's right - the 7GHz barrier break is very, very nice :D
I've heard about the cedar mill 631 - enormous result...

2. blossa - you should be very happy - the WR of Celeron belongs to Northern Europe (first time I heard about 7.3 I thought - the next maniac from USA) :cool: :cool: :cool:
Well - if you want to beat the highest frequency WR - i'm ready :) To gain: Asus Striker or P5B dlx, LN2 (i've got a little tank near the academy - 0.5t of liquid nitrous :cool: ) + several 671 form Intel - and there will be 9GHz :D

PS: shall we start the war with south europe? :p:

[blossa]

:D I envy you for having all that hardware. I only have about 2kbm of dryice atm. ;)

Also, I plan to take a break for a while. Originally I planned to do that before last weekend. :)

Na, I do not know about 'war', but it would sure be nice to try to give them a hard time. ;)

[Podstavsky]

Oops! Misunderstand ;) The hardware i mentioned is not at my own yet :D If you want to beat the WR i'm ready to do this, but with equipment is not as good as with wishes ;) LN2 - yes - with this there will be no problem, but arranging the 671 - cash is essential.

By the way - i've never OC the CPU with liquid N or dry ice. WC at most ;)

PS: However - blossa - take care. Polish overclocking community is with you :) Break those guys from Italy - show the power of the Cel's D multiplier :D

Good Job! congrats! :toast:

Good Job! :clap:

I & ryba must work strongly- cascada is to weak -ln2 is better ;P



I will not be subjected without battle :banana:

:D :D :D
Maybe I should get ready to try to defend myself from your attack? ;)

[99TOMCAT]

mayby.. ;)

[blossa]

Ok, so now I have bought some CPU:s... ;)

[SoF]

lol considering you wanted to stop some time ago you really take it to the top now ^^
really sweet results and hope you skip your break and continue clocking ;)

[99TOMCAT]

Poles are insistent

It is always good with competition. ;)

I will try to get that Celeron record back as soon as I have the chance.

Very well done!! :toast:

thanks and good luck !! :toast:

7.3 nice!

insane voltage also :D
