Loving the blatant fakes


There's no 30x multiplier on the 920


There's no 31x multiplier on the 920 - EDIT: Make that 32x


It should be 100x30, 1000x3 is impossible

LOL, well spotted, although they might have been engineering examples? I've heard of CPU's like that ... I was wondering how much fakery was going on there, also there is no indication of stability, many of these overclocks might just have got far enough for a screenshot before crashing?

I guessed this might have been posted here already though, heh

If it was an ES, it would be marked in the specification box

The results are BS, or *at best* a CPU-Z freak-out

[Blue Storm]

It can be ES (if it's marked in CPU-Z), but it's impossible to get 32x multiplier with Core i7-920...and 1000 MHz BCLK with Sandy Bridge is crazy and impossible too

You sure?

[the_dope_chaud]

I llol'ed hard at the sandy bridge @ 1000 mhz

3x1000=3000, priceles
Whats next, 2x3500hz bus=7gig chips ?

[rsnubje]

i7 920 acts like that when on the edge of blck stability. thats my experience. i did have some validation of some crazy 920 cpu-z but why upload it...

Core i-over-9000!!!111

Not buying it. We had a few ES chips to play with around... August? 2008. None of them were unlocked to 32x and even if they were they were the most rubbish clockers of the bunch. There was one which only managed 4.6GHz on LN2

I believe you, this does call into question the validity of CPU-Z though, not suggesting anyone here is cheating but apparently if CPUz can go flaky or its easy to fake/photoshop the screenshots ... I dunno?

For sure there are some ridiculous overclocks there and apparently that link is from the official CPU-Z website (I think?) they are not doing themselves any favours by publishing nonsense like that

EDIT: Looks like that link is not from the official CPU-Z site.

yes CPU-z can get flaky. And yes those 920's were never used on Hwbot and with seriousness, but only in CPU-z to post around forums.
And I see you are pretty old in the forum with decent post count, do you really think people here do not know about the CPU-z records. Infact duck, tapa, Tin, Andre themselves post when they get those scores....

[Buckeye]

That Celly was done by Duck San I think ?
I seem to remember that one posted.

If that is the case then yeah he did reach that OC. Duck San is very honorable person and I would highly doubt he faked that.

Thu, 23 Sep 2010 sounds about right when he would have done that.

Ah yeah I found it

Oh it is possible alright, Kunaak has/had a long thread several years back about cheating in benchmarks. I managed to pull off a fake CPU-Z validation (changed the CPU name to Pentium 7 ) but I would imagine that method has been blocked by now.

That link IS from the official CPU-Z site, what makes you think otherwise?

I didn't presume anything of the sort, just posted it here as I spotted the link on another site and thought it would make interesting discussion ... and it has, no lectures please

Anyway, no big deal, I mentioned it would probably have been known about here and it was.

[sin0822]

i thought Tin has the highest?

[Wumpus]

i thought Tin has the highest?

Duck san took it by another 43Mhz

[sin0822]

ahh either way its impressive!
