Core i7-3820 Overclocked to 5.666 GHz
GUN'G'STAR of TeamRussia successfully achieved an overclocking record of 5.666 GHz for the quad-core Intel Core i7-3820 processor; a feat that validates the LGA2011 i7-3820 of being a generally good chip for overclocking, despite being "Limited Unlocked" (BClk multiplier being unlocked only to a few notches above its stock setting). GUN'G'STAR achieved a clock speed of 5,665.99 MHz using a BClk speed of 131.74 MHz, a multiplier value of 43x, and core voltage of 1.6V. The chip was assisted with GeIL-made DDR3-1600 memory sitting on all four channels, and ASUS Rampage IV Extreme motherboard. Only 2 out of 4 cores of the i7-3820 were enabled for the feat, HyperThreading was disabled. Extreme cooling was used. The CPU-Z validation can be accessed here.

The bottom left of that imagine was what makes your statement great. Guess you never visited the AMD record threads where all the Intle fanboys said "you can't run this daily", :slap: no shit.
And what's the point of your post anyway? Do you have to be an "Intle fanboy" to say "you can't run this daily" in the AMD 8.461GHz news thread over here in TPU? And why bring THAT up then? I haven't even APPROACHED that "can't run this daily" angle, since I just focused on the overclock itself.
So here I am, just talking about the overclocks themselves, the NUMBERS, the FREQUENCIES, and then you suddenly come up with that "can't run this daily" angle? For what purpose? To provide confusion?
Besides, in your first post in this thread, you were pretty much asking for trouble (even though i took it as a joke) some people will take that seriously and to their heart.
But then again I had rebuttals, so...you didn't "contribute" at all. :laugh: You can say that I was...:cool: the atypical. ;) :laugh:
@ fanboys argument, excluding the fact that entropy was trolling hard (Idk why he would do that)
Because makes sense to be a fanboy of either Intel or AMD, right?
Fanboyism is what ruins goods forums like this, they'll always defend their beloved company even if they have to make up an argument.
Many times I've seen fanboys recommending hardware to people who asked for an advice about hardware.
Seriously, if you are a fanboy ( I'm talking generally) you should get your brains tested.
And no, you don't have to be an Intel fanboy to bring up that you can't run 8ghz 24/7, you have to be a moron (it's pretty obvious you can't does't take a rocket scientist to figure that out). I bring it up because rather than making a constructive post about the record itself, you would rather be the first to troll (don't act like anyone else but you started this). You didn't focus on anything, except for trolling, don't act like your post had any point except being inflammatory.
So here you are talking about nothing and trolling, not talking about any sort of numbers, and you get offended when someone calls you out. (this is a restructuring of your last sentence since you weren't discussing anything about specifics like you probably should have been).It's funny you say that, since you were the first troll in the thread, a Intel thread, and you had to mention AMD. I haven't seen any other BS posts in this thread except yours.
This thread has nothing to do with fanboyism. While I think that this is a decent accomplishment for the chip, I can't say I'm overly impressed. These chips should be tested to their full potential with all cores on and HT on.
You do realise that AMD broke the overclocking record @ 8.429GHz. Yep
www.anandtech.com/show/4770/amd-sets-world-overclocking-record-with-8429ghz-bulldozer-processor
I have to imagine that 5Ghz+ on water with all cores is tangible. I cant imagine LN2 was needed to get there.
This also tells me that the turbo is up to 4.3Ghz, so thats interesting.too bad a 5.7Ghz SB-E pounds on it in benchmarks though! One trick pony comes to mind. :D
SB-E 2.2s @ 5.7Ghz - hwbot.org/benchmark/wprime_32m/rankings?hardwareTypeId=processor_2470#start=0#interval=20
FX 4.2s @ 7Ghz- hwbot.org/benchmark/wprime_32m/rankings?hardwareTypeId=processor_2396#start=0#interval=20See... again, thats not the name of the game with CPUz. The object is to get the highest score... that is achieved by disabling cores and using your strongest ones. Of course its not a 24/7 thing to do, its never intended to be that way for CPUz. This site just doesnt understand the demographic those numbers are intended for. ;)
Pounds on it? There is no benchmarks of Bulldozer @ 8.429GHz and there is no benchmarks of SB-E @ 5.7GHz for a cross comparison. So how do you know which performs better? Or whom pounds on whom?An OC with all cores I would love. But regardlesss, both SB-E and BD had only 2 cores running, so its fair game. AMD holds the OC crown. Lets not cry over a fact.
I edited in examples. BD cant run Wprime anywhere close to 8.4Ghz so tough to compare apples to apples. So at 5.7Ghz (SBe) and 7Ghz (BD) SBe is almost twice as fast in that bench. 5.7Ghz Wprime to 5.9Ghz CPuz max (full cores in Wprime, and less in CPUz) vs BD at 7Ghz full cores, and 8.4zGhz less in CPUz. Drastic difference there. You wouldnt want to see 5.7Ghz v 5.7Ghz... my 2600k would beat it out! :p
But yes, they hold that record.. absolutely. I cannot and would not take away from that feat. :)
But I digress. :)
If you want to talk performance open another thread. We are talking OC and AMD is top notch for overclocking according to "The world record".But its irrelevant. WPrime is 1 benchmark. How can you base performance on 1 benchmark?
Also Intel always did better in WPrime. Pentium D used to outperform the Athlon 64 X2 in WPrime, and the Athlon 64 X2 was a much faster CPU overall. How do you explain that?
Maybe the same thing is happening with BD vs SB-E, at their respected OC record.
I want to end this thread or post with a fact. Fact: AMD holds the OC record @ 8.429GHz. :)
