Done Thanksgiving day, many thanks Intel.

SICK!

Can't wait for results on the cascade.

wow.. on air!

how many cherry chips will you be testing ?

Wow.... amazing chip...

Maybe you can post your Biossettings?

cherry pie taste good.:D

Wow, very nice!:)

wooow! Nice :clap:

Ill be pleased if you send me the worst cherry after you guys are done with it. :rofl:

thats a pretty insane chip..the cascade results will be interesting to say the least :D keep pushing it !!

Maybe Francois should create a new line of products called "Cherry Edition" :D

fantastic

Dr. Who is not joking hehehehe
Charles bring to us the Magic7

Wow that was quick. I like a man who keeps his words; 6Ghz should be a walk in the park. :up:

Killer chip, indeed...

Awsome CPU, insane speed on air cooling. :eek:

F*ck!
5.7GHz i7 will be more than good enough for some serious AquaMark 3 & 3D Mark06 damage.
Show us some numbers Charles!

Now that's nice ! :up: :eek:

Results under cascade must be awesome ! :eek2:

:eek2: 5Ghz on air. :shocked:

why cutting out the stepping/model number Charles..? :D

This is unbelievable!!! Is this with all 8 threads enabled?:shocked:

awesome man, that chip is screaming litteraly uh

cant wait to see some damage done

keep pushing it

Good job nice to see this chip being pushed although I figured a cherry chip would do 6ghz but 5.7 is damn good

holy moly 5ghz on air. :shock:

Impressive!!!

Holy :banana::banana::banana::banana: that's insane. But isn't over 1.4 vcore bad for the 45 mm chips?
