Overclocking world record broken,,, WITHOUT WATERCOOLING!

Yeah very good

I can get my e4300 (1.8Ghz stock) up to 3.6 as well but the voltages is abit high for my taste. Currently running @ 3.0 Ghz:) on air.

I have to get better ram to really give my rig a oc workout:(
 
Heard good things about the Scythe and Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme. I would get the Thermal but I alreadly have Liquid Cooling :) Those internal units with fronst display :) [email protected] Stable. 4Ghz for Flight Simulator and when needed.
 
Not to rain on the skulltrail but I really didn't like that rig. I get way better performance now on overclocked X9650 powered machines than I ever could with the Skulltrail. With two 9800GX2 cards in there for quad SLI (which has rubbish scaling, worse than 3870X2 4-way CFX) you need at 1.2KW PSU minimum and it all just ends up being too expensive and not all that fast.

Used 9775 Skulltrail with 2xoverclocked 8800GT cards and was getting 22K in 3DMark06. Lots of heat and SLi wasn't all that hot in the games but still faster than a single 9800GX2. Moved to a X9650 at 1.35V 4GHz and 3870X2 and I can get same 21~22K in 3DMark06.

Where Skultrail is good is in rendering etc... but video encoding doesn't work so well as DiVx and other MP4 based encoders dont' scale well past 4 cores
 
What was this the record of?

Not clock speed I guess? because they are already doing 7Ghz!

"A Japanese overclocker has managed to overclock Intel Pentium 4 670 microprocessor to 7.132GHz and even run certain benchmarks on the system that was cooled down by liquid nitrogen.

In order to accomplish the extreme overclocking Japanese enthusiast Memesana, who published his results at XtremeSystems web-site, used ASUS P5WD2 Premium mainboard based on Intel’s i955X core-logic, Corsair PC2-5400UL 512MB memory modules as well as Intel Pentium 4 670 processor with stock speed of 3.80GHz. The processor system bus was overclocked to 1520MHz; processor’s voltage was pumped up to 1.70V, significantly higher than default setting; memory latency settings were CL4 3-3-4, memory voltage was set to 2.3V.

According to the posted statement, the system managed to calculate π (pi) number to 1 million decimal places in 18.516 seconds, which is currently the world’s record.

Earlier this year another overclocker has managed to push hit Intel Pentium 4 570J chip to 7.22GHz, but at that clock-speed the PC could function only in BIOS. The maximum speed at which he could boot Windows XP operating system and perform memory testing was 6.60GHz."

Makes this one seem well insignificant? ;)
 
Well the techies at PCFormat are very wrong. They are not infallible, only journos.
@Ass_Sazin: Pentium 4 CPUs have been clocking past 7GHz for years now its not new or is it that impressive because an E2180 @ 3.6GHz is still quicker than Pentium4 @ 7Ghz. compare the 17s Super Pi 1M on the P4 to the 11.5sec of a 4Ghz E8500 ;) - That makes 7Ghz insignificant

If you work on % increase its actually not that good. From 2Ghz - 3.6 is only 80%. The e4300 have been known to goto 4Ghz which is 122% increase.(Not on air) As said my 4300 running @3Ghz is already 66% increase and thats on standard voltages. Had to up my Northbride voltage and thats all. For price vs performance the 2180 is prob the best cpu.
 
no not a chance...
You know, 100% OCs are not common and actually rare that's why people go crazy over them. 80% is damn good, heck even 50% is great. You can't just looked that % without looking at the CPU type, typical overclock etc...

Ah ok didn't see the E2180, part I did see a 6ghz E something with the superpie world record, not to sure of the exact model. But to reach pure High frequencies isn't really that big, although running air cooled makes a difference.

I am running my 5000+ Be at 3.3Ghz from the stock 2.7 on air, thermalright 120SE, with a dual 120mm low noise fan.
 
You should get a Phenom 9850 Black edition, no that's a nice CPU for AMD users. Won't clock like your 5000 Be, but at 3GHz it'll be faster anyway :)

I wanted to, but the B3 stepping was not out yet, the one with the fix, and also I think in normal single threaded apps, ie most games, it won't preform that much better than the 5000+Be, and at the price of the 5000 vs the phenom, the 5000+ is very cheap R900 and it's performance is also very good.

May even be cheaper now...
 
in single thread apps it is faster than old Athlon cores :)
You can see it in SuperPi mostly. 3GHz Super Pi faster than what I was getting with A64 6400 BE+ @ 3.5GHz

Oh Ok, but question is how much faster, I went for Price vs performance and the 5000Be was much better than the 6400Be and the 5000+ is 65nm SOI 64W Brisbane core, think the 6400 is still 95nm. Don't get me wrong if I had the cash at the time and the phenom had the B3 stepping out I would have gotten a phenom, but overall I am very happy with my 5000, runs cool and fast enough for me...
 
@ZeFsLaNg:
Nobody is knocking the OC , indeed 3.66Ghz is impressive there can be no denying that and you're right that having it run like that 24/7 is better than the quick blitz of some users who claim the same or even higher clocks but they can't get through 20minutes of any game :(

All I was saying is that 3.6Ghz isn't a record that's all. :/
It is also to be said that comparing the low end parts overclocking to the ultra extreme fails to address the vast majority of overclockers which are in between those two extremes. As for water cooling, There are some kits that are so easy their easier than some air coolers. Where performance goes the H20 cooling kit i use is by far better than the best air cooler you can get, in fact there's no comparison really... I run a quad core 9650 @ 4GHz with very little over 1.35V (1.36~1.387V) and its as 24/7 stable as ever. What I'm saying is there are many people like me who don't do the extreme stuff regularly if at all.

If it seemed I was knocking the overclock, my bad I wasn't. :P
 
I've had my E2140 (1.6Ghz) @ 3.5Ghz , 1.55v, TRUE120 so an E2180 @ 3.6Ghz is no record feat.
 
Re OP, was that i the PC Format that said "we build the fastest PC possible" or something like that? I saw it lurking in the Spar the other day...
 
Eish, fastest PC possible right now costs R40K I think, dont' think they'd be using E2180 for it though :P
Fastest PC is easy though is you have bucks. X9775, 2x9800GX2, 4GB RAM, voila fastest PC
