News Core i9-12900KS World Record: How I Hit 7.8 GHz on 8 Cores

[Admin]

I took a tray full of Intel Core i9-12900KS chips for a spin, breaking eight world records in six hours, courtesy of 70 liters of liquid nitrogen. I even pushed it up to 7.8 GHz on eight cores, breaking the OC record.

With "power and heat" output of the sun...

Totally useless and worthless--what a waste of time... Never have liked this sort of thing--doesn't matter who makes the CPU "tested."

So was typing this comment onto a userboard on the internet. Yet here we are.

I remember in the 90's when experts swore up and down that a CPU could never exceed 1GHz. Trace cross talk and component failure they said...

70L of liquid nitrogen!! The amount of energy needed to create that amount of LN2 is many times more than the system.

Ironically getting closer to the 10ghz CPUs that Intel promised us a couple of decades ago.

“That is how dominating this chip is.”
The chip is ”dominating” in every aspect, not just in performance. This is going to heat an entire house and waste a lot of fuel when fuel is in short supply due to dumb sanctions here and there.

Liquifying 70L of LN2 takes ~ 80MJ (accounting for process efficiency), or ~22KWhr. If we make a wild estimate of a 1KW total system power (not unreasonable, overclocks are not efficient to start with and when you start pumping in high voltages it gets worse) that's ~ 22 hours of testing, tweaking, and benchmarking to break even. Not outside the realms of possibility.

I like reading these adventures in overclocking, but wish for more nerd details.

Are you one of those people who thinks that halving the power consumption and doubling the time to complete a task saves energy?!?

No practical application for this. Bragging rights is all and a huge waste of cash. I made a water cooling rig 2004. Water wetter not H20. German submersible fish tank pump, reservoir tank and a 2 water blocks. One for the CPU and 1 for the GPU. What a monstrosity. LoL Now 320mm AIO cools my 5950x.Have to figure out something out for my EVGA RTX 3080ti Ultra FTW3.
