Ivy Bridge does 7GHz OC!

[Russian]

There are other way's to be Xtreme then suicide runs and bench runs. There are other areas of this forum then those.

Yes, but the sheer amount of disdain regarding things like suicide runs is absolutely disgusting considering the type of community that we are.

[AndreYang]

DICE is not correct information,period.

thank you for clearing that up

[mars]

So what, only suicide runners and benchers are allowed here?

Guess the wcg team should pack up and find a new home...

if the WCG team feels that a suicide run results means "nothing"
I agree they should pack up and find a new home as I would prefer a more informed WCG team

yep i said it

Like I said there are other's apart of this community that have a different perspective then you. I find it disgusting you can be so discriminative.

come on now, if you can not appreciate this news, then why even comment on it at all?

I thoroughly enjoy a stable system as much as the next guy, but seeing cutting edge hardware with those numbers, even if they are suicide runs, is very exciting to me and a number of other members on this forum/community.

And more importantly, unlike AMD suicide runs, we know what is IB capable of now, and a few/many will certainly get a retail/ES sample which can do 6.6.-6.7Ghz at the least which will break almost all records......as Dave said it earlier it is knowledge for which XS is famous for, and the reaction of XS WCG team is disgusting to say the least

couldn't agree more

[kuroikenshi]

The specialisation in which different XS members OC their CPU/GPU may indeed differ.

However at the core of this practice we all seek one thing "push to the limits".

It should not matter it it is a Suicide run, a 24/7 air cooled purpose stable OC, DICE, WC, TEC, whatever. I am sure most of us love to push our systems regardless of hardware or end result, its the sheer aim to test the limit at different applications, its very pointless to bash each other trying to argue the practicality of each specialisation in the field of Overclocking.

Seriously

P.S.
12 months ago I was running TEC runs on an ES 2600k, now I do max OC on an aircooled Brazos APU, I do not feel its any different.

[HuffPCair]

Very nice to see those results. Minus all the girl arguing going on this thread. Everyone wishes they could hit those clocks, and if you don't you are not a real nerd haha

[massman]

Guess it's time we go around the WCG forum saying "you haven't pushed the system to the absolute max clock yet" ...

No need to be dragging the WCG guys into this over the comments of two people, one of which is clearly uninformed itself and other which is only a member.

[[XC] Oj101]

Don't stereotype, I'm a WCG guy myself and just yesterday I was benching SB and dual GTX 580s hard enough to hit OCP on an HX850 PSU...

you mind saying what is different between both suicide runs? you really think intel 22nm chips will have a happy life under 1.8-1.9V? (Might point you to sandybridge that was made on 32nm and already was pushing its life-expectacy at 1.4V...).

Its a nice result, seems ivyB does not have a coldbug like SB so for small time periods we might actually see higher overclocks.

[M.Beier]

I don't think its about how cold it is, its more about how you handle the heat load.
LN2 gives greater heat loading ability then DICE does.

You just broke the spell of me disagreeing with you, back to the server thread?

DICE is not correct information,period.

Thank you for clearing it up Andre.

I meant no offense to the WCG community. My post was purely intended as joke.

[SoF]

I don't care if DICE, if cascade or only LN2 will do the job - if it scales, I am fine...


...as long as you have an 1155 board with OC-Key ready by then!
Much more important now

[AndreYang]

I don't know how many times I saw massman's joke like discrimination. Is your joke style?

[STEvil]

the wcg one? It was just sarcasm but I was attempting to move the conversation away from picking up new targets..

Guys, time to drop the suicide runs vs bench runs vs stability vs economy stuff. Its even more childish than bantering between gpu/cpu manufacturers.

[SKYMTL]

all these years we've been overclocking and forming such a big community and you still see posts like this in a thread on XS. OK man

Great....read one post and then reply....

The whole point was wanting something more. Not to shoot down someone's accomplishment. As I said: now that we've been shown the carrot, I don't want it tugged away...I want to see more!

[massman]

Hehe ... I think we can all agree that we just need MORE information about EVERYTHING

[Elmy]

Can we get more information on the information because the information that we are getting might not be the right information.....

[Bun-Bun]

Sure it's cool to see a screenshot of a excessive voltage suicide run. Done it with all my SB chips as well. But that's all it is. Nothing more and nothing can really be extrapolated by it. It's still all speculation.

I agree with the poster that said the title and tone of the first post should have been different. From the beginning it came off as if these were results that showed IB's capabilities which as of right now still no one (but a select few) knows.

And more importantly, unlike AMD suicide runs, we know what is IB capable of now, and a few/many will certainly get a retail/ES sample which can do 6.6.-6.7Ghz at the least which will break almost all records......as Dave said it earlier it is knowledge for which XS is famous for, and the reaction of XS WCG team is disgusting to say the least

That's the thing. We don't. These results were with an excessive amount of voltage. We have no idea how quickly that chip would degrade from that. We know nothing other than what one IB chip can do on one suicide run with excessive voltage.

And please do not take my posts out of context and lump up the entire WCG team with it. My point merely was the XS community is made up of many different kinds of individuals with varying backgrounds and varying purposes/goals/intents and none are any more or any less Xtreme than the other. LinX AVX runs are apart of that as well.

Just to clarify here. No where has it been said that the Xs WCG team feels that way. Period.
One guy who does crunch for our team used the name to make his point.
We like all of you want the most we can get out of our machines.
It is just for us that "most": means 24/7/365 stable and also includes electrical usage vs output so we do look with a different set of eyes than
most benchers who are looking for pure max speed.
Let's just leave that part of the discussion right there ok?
Thanks.

What a silly thread. Entertaining how riled up all of you can get over a CPU-Z screenshot.
