Overclocking: Tom's Sets World Record

[hergieburbur]

Good job breaking the record, then taking so long to post the article that the record is no longer valid.

Sorry to burst your bubble guys... but the world record overclock for Q6600 is 5133Mhz by Johnny Bravo.

it was set back in APRIL this year. This OC comes close...

I wonder how many times the same world record will be posted by people who didn't look back 3 comments.

Why is it that most of the photos were irrelevant, who the hell wants to see the team having lunches anyway! Could have put in a few more BIOS screenshots, that would have been much better

Why did u put the results at the very last frame? That's pretty annoying.

Next, I want to see an E8500 at 6GHz. Should be no sweat with LN2.

Common stop saying world record........
Doing A 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Quad 6600 to 5.1GHz using a cryogenic cooling system, it's not nearly close to the world record they're claiming -- we've seen P4's at up to 8.18GHz, and just a couple months ago someone jacked a Core 2 Extreme QX9775 on a Skulltrail board to 6GHz. Read the rest of the article at engadget.com

hmmm...i seem to remember seeing a P4 OC'd to 7-8 GHz...so whats this record they broke??

I'd assume the highest Q6600 clock speed, at the time they did it anyway.

you call this a world record?!?

These sorts of 'records' have become pointless and tedious.

Yes - we get that supercooling allows extreme clock speeds.
That was new a decade ago.

All you've done is apply the same technique to a new chip.

Not original, not useful, and most importantly, not interesting.

Now, what I'd love to see would be taking a real world task, like authoring a dvd, or parsing a terabyte of log files, and then engineering a bleeding edge solution for that.

Hey guy's

Thats funny, becouse this "overclocking Record" was done at the 29th Feb. 2008 by the French THG Guy's

just want to say that theres a new record, in spanish campus party in valencia they reached 6.6 mhz.

I don't get it. If two cores are disabled on the Q6600 why not just go with a E8400 chip? Can someone explain?

 

[mr roboto]

It takes ZERO talent to do this. Try overclocking your Q6600 to 5Ghz using 4 cores otherwise it's just a pathetic overclocking record by a technicality. It's not a quad core but a crippled quad which is in fact a dual core. See but using four cores, now that would really take some skill to do that. Tom's Hardware has really gone down the shitter since Best Of Media took over. This may impress people new to technology and overclocking but you can't fool the rest of us. This is exactly the reason I get most of my news and LESS BIASED opinion from AnandTech HardOCP.

Seems to me that a quad with 2 cores disabled isn't a quad at all. I'm not impressed. :s

LOL IS THAT WINDOW$XP I SEE!!! OOOPS I THINK IT IS!

 

[robjosh1995]

i have now beaten this world record at with a intel core 2 quad q6600 at 6.75 ghz in bios and 5.85 in windows 7 running at 34c .

 

[robjosh1995]

hello we are rob and josh we have beaten this record at 6.75 ghz on all 4 cores at 34c non-liquid nitrogen.
