Core i7-3770K Cracks 6.616 GHz Utilizing 63.0x Multiplier
Intel's upcoming Core "Ivy Bridge" processors for overclockers, namely the Core i7-3770K, and Core i5-3570K, feature multiplier values previously unavailable for Core "Sandy Bridge" series. Chinese proverclocker x-powerx800pro scraped 6.616 GHz utilizing a base clock multiplier value of 63.0x, a clock speed of 6584.86 MHz (104.52 x 63) was validated using the same setup. These clock speeds were backed by core voltages such as 1.056V, and cooled by extreme cooling. The test-bench included a GIGABYTE Z77X-UD5H, 2x 2 GB G.Skill DDR3-2133 MHz memory, and Corsair AX1200W PSU. These clock speeds were found to be Pi-stable, with 6.511 GHz yielding SuperPi 1M timing of 5.585s.

On topic, these chips have proven to be pretty toasty, even with "reasonable" voltage values
All cores enabled and no HT > 1 module enabled ie 2 "cores" in a 8 "core" processor
Still, why the hell do they keep using a completely out-of-date bench for this??? I said it before here and here.
This chip is quite a bit better then AMD's current top offers (for regular use): i just think they could show it off with something that can actually show it's true power rather then with something that can be misleading due to the code used in it's programing.
amd have nearly a 2 ghz advantage in speed and they still cant beat its benchscores?
well done amd, you built a fast chip that can do fuck all....
i am looking forward to these chips, after sandy was so easy to oc it will be nice to see chips that need good cooling to get the best out of them again, it will sort the men from the (fan)boys.
