5Ghz air done Core i7 Extreme

[TheKarmakazi]

Amazing results!! 5ghz on air is !!! I was excited to get 5040Mhz on my 8600 stable!

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

Just a cascade got 5.7 @ -100, maybe if the chip has low coldbug, you could do LN2 @ -140 getting 6+Ghz

[SAE]

Wow. Just a super cherry chip or was its thermal diode modified?

Anyway, Charles will definitely crack the 6GHz barrier soon.

[Pederrs]

Come on Charles we wanna see that stepping/Revision

Cool result, i really hope we are going to see a lot of new chips over 5GHz

[Sup3rman]

Is this a retail chip or ES? Does this chip have the special mods that only Intel can do? I'm assuming these are retail binned chips with no mods...

From another thread

All done guys, very impressive results and worked out some details to improve the quality of future chips for everyone overclocking and average users alike.

The results from the past two days are being reviewed for any errors, only results from un-modified chips will be shown as there may be some issue to fudging, to eliminate this possibility only the righteous chip screen shots will be shown.

Im getting approval tonight on screen shots, so hang tight.

Cherry chip, Core i7 Extreme
Intel DX58SO Smackover 403
Thermaltake 120 w/ two fans
1.47vcore
70c on all cores
4 cores / threads enabled
Recorded in HD - video soon

This chips max frequency was 5.7Ghz on the triple stage @ -100c
Done Thanksgiving day, many thanks Intel.

Amazing air result, would you please share Intel SO BIOS Settings with us?
That will be a good reference point for me...

Thanks a lot...

is it eng sample?

[systemviper]

Now that is XTREME!

[PonDTranG]

5Ghz on air.

yes...

[HDCHOPPER]

WTG Fugger !!

[WaterFlex]

Just REAL XTREME. Congrats, mate! Very well done.

[Bullet92]

Hey m8, that's insane... Want to see some 3DM damage soon GL

[Northwood]

only results from un-modified chips will be shown

Like we believe that, we all know Fugger is intel's puppet, he says what they pay him to say, how can you prove it's unmodded? and why hide the stepping/revision?


It's all marketing, your average retail chip will never reach these speeds.

My money says (ES).

[Gendo]

I sincerely hope this is a retail chip with a new stepping/revision! If so, we'll be having some good times when they are released. If not, Intel's a b*tch for showing us these results

[Frontl1ne]

It's not a retail chip as far as I know. They are super cherry picked cream of the crop samples.

I would be very surprised if it was retail, but that doesn't stop me from hoping it is

5ghz on air, gewd gawd.

[Movieman]

Fugger said these aren't retail chips.

[T_Flight]

hahahaha God I love it! This is outstanding!

...err, I mean the OC'ing Fugger did...not the fanboi that got kicked out.

[GAR]

Fugger, do you ever sell good cpu's like this? if you do PMME i will pick one up!

Also a question for you guys who know most about the Core i7, any word on Loadline Calibration, some were saying 45NM cpu's from intel die from it, is this true for i7???

[Movieman]

hahahaha God I love it! This is outstanding!

It's not the first time that guy has made nasty comments here.
You don't come to Fugger's site and talk about him like that.
I sent him on a 7 day vacation and that was being nice.
Should have been a year.

[Rol-Co]

Very nice speed aircooled fugger, can you explain why youre efficienty of pi sucks that hard? i have the almost the same score 8.625 at 4740 mhz (also aircooled b.t.w) max frequency 4800+

Yeah, I just wanted to make sure somebody didn't miscontrue my comments to mean I was applauding what he said above. I was being careful.

I think he probably ran that 1M run, just to make a point : 5GHz+ not only at cpu-z suicide screenshot, but also 1M stable

[Charles Wirth]

My memory and qpi were at lowest ratios to rule out those factors, I was going for 5Ghz and made short work of it. I did not spend much time on air for each chip, this was the first one tested and it was semi decent. Best of all, its on HD video.

Northwood doesnt bother me, he has been here forever.
