7.2 Ghz 955 Wr?

[Praz]

Guess it's possible. AMD had already said they hit 7GHz in the lab.

[overcrash]

Its not possible because S3FD said he could never achieve more than 31x on his chip Here

[Movieman]

I respect your meaning MM, but I disagree. We were having harmless fun with a notrious poster's posting habits, I don't see any bashing of Intel products in our posts. And, we didn't go to the Intel forum to do it. The only negative product comments in this thread came from someone bashing AMD in the AMD forum, which is par for the course.

You may see it that way but it isn't how I read it.
Let's put this to rest and hope they did nail the 7GHz.
That would be nice to see.

I was lucky enough to watch the guys work their magic on the AMD chips out at the Xs party during CES.
I got to meet Macci,Sampsa and SF3D.
That I'll remember, sharp guys and boy do they know their stuff.

And yes, I also got to meet Dr.Who..Francois Piednoel.
That was also something I won't forget.

28,5x multi...

[Sparky]

How? Every review of this thing people haven't been able to really get it above 3.8Ghz it seems like. Did new BIOS help or something?

I'm sure this wasn't done on air or water, it had to have been some exotic cooling. With exotic cooling these chips get much higher than 3.8. Also that is going to be a suicide run, I'm sure it wasn't prime stable at 7GHz.

He might not have been able to get over 31x but that doesn't mean someone else couldn't
CPU-Z validation bug I suppose is possible.

ok i totaly overlooked the x36 multi issue, i have the DDR2 version of this board here and the multi goes to X35 max, and another member here, who i bow my head too, SF3D, has stated that he just wouldnt believe anything above x31, this i tend to belive.

so now the two questions that are naggin me,

how did they get to x36 multi?

and secondly, how did this get validate by CPU-Z?

another question, if x35 is the max multi on Phenom II's, why didnt CPU-Z see the x36 as a fake when validating?

[Sparky]

Good point. Dunno.the one ceemic posted is more plausible I think.

[Cheffy]

whats the limit in AOD3 using a 955?

[BertM]

then why has k10stat a limit of 47 ?

My board gives me max. multi 47x!!!!

The clocks are to good to be true, but let's not invalidate them because of the multi.
I would like to see a SS from the session, few pictures, maybe video! Till then I'm a bit skeptic.

[Hemi345]

You all think they only used the multi to overclock??

A FSB of 300 would require 24x for 7.2Ghz

[Drwho?]

Ugh, I'm going to brace for the randomly worded Dr. Who? response now.

Lol ... You said my name ... I can answer :P , fair game :P
I beat that every day with what matters : The Benchies Scores ....


just kiiding, ok?

[ownage]

Where is the promised 7ghz Nehalem OC?
I'm still waiting

[crazydiamond]

idk if 6.3ghz has WR for 3dm06 i would think 6.8~7ghz would be tough to beat

[Drwho?]

I never promissed 7Ghz, i promissed to win all Benchies , and It does ... 7Ghz was put in my mouth, never said it. I know perfectly what It can do, and 7Ghz does not seam possible yet.
What matter is instruction per Clock x frequency ... You use to like this song. The 955 does not even beat the old Core 2 Quad extreme ...

Just teasing you dude ... Take it easy, If you knew me well, you would know that it is all fun, nothing negative. (I am out of here, I have nothing to do here)

[ownage]

Ok, then it must have been the press that talked BS about promising 7ghz.
But performance per clock aside (which off course is most important), 7ghz would be an awesome goal to achieve, for Intel or for AMD.

I know you're just teasing, no hard feelings lol

[Movieman]

Looks at thread..waits for the blood to start flowing..
Decides to go outside and shut off the PC for a few hours..

[FlanK3r]

very nice, i watch at some chinese forum...

[charged3800z24]

Its fake, 36x is not possible

not entirely...

[roofsniper]

Amazing.

Pentium 4, 8220mhz, will AMD break it soon? Perhaps not with 955BE, but with another CPU?

Hope AMD breaks it, cause I hate that crap CPU being on top of the hertz mountain atm

personally i dont think the phenom II is gonna make it much farther than it is now. these records seem questionable because for a long time no one has gotten anywhere near 7ghz and now someone has gotten 7.2 ghz? whats the difference between the 940 and the 955 besides that the 955 might be better binned chips?

lol yea i remember right after amd hit 6ghz or something intel said so what we will hit 7 and then when they tried for 7 they got 5.5.

really im not sure if this is legit or not but even if the bios doesnt have a 36x multi im sure theres plenty of software that can do it.

[chew*]

Its fake it can't be done from Bios O Noes....oops ok maybe it can......unless the multis don't work.

[roofsniper]

doesnt have to be from bios. look at the aod shot charged posted. that allows for up to 47x.

[_d_]

nice, but Phenom II need to proof 4.5GHz stability with air cooling system that enough forme
