7.3GHz done

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

Absolutely superb! Good job.:woot:

Great work !

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

well done, awesome oc!

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

nice score! congrats! :woot:

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

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.

Lol, insane clockspeed and very nice pics :)

amazing!.. was it really so easy?

Congrats guys
Nice work

Incredible....:slobber:

Nice job man!

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

Awesome overclock!

Now push it more :D!

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. :(

@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:

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.

Simply Ridiculous

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

nice clocks, congratz :)

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

Well done!

Bra jobbat!

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