Truly spectacular score - not only the first breaking the barrier, but also almost 10s ahead of Sam's amazing run. Congratulations! Now you're the first and only member of the Core 2 triple 7 club: Sub 7s 1M, sub 7m 32M and 7 GHz CPU-Z ?

I remember the days when 32M was considered to be a longterm stability test. So while I get older, CPUs continue to get faster and faster. From time to time it's amazing to see the massive improvements that were not achieved by "multicore trickery". Congratulations, safedisk!

Imagine Andre responding with a backup score from 2012. In a weird coincidence (or premonition?) I actually checked Massman's historic CPU frequency WR list (link) just yesterday and realised it has been almost 10 years. When I saw this score I actually shouted out "Holy F..." out of sheer disbelief and excitement. So Congratulations to elmor, Shamino and everyone involved! You both are true legends of overclocking, but achieving this after all these years is one of your greatest achievements for sure. You definitely made my day, Thank you guys!

Not sure if relevant for you anymore, but the CMK32GX5M2B5600C36 sample I've got is labeled as ver 4.43.02 and equipped with Samsung ICs. Personally I'm yet to see Microns on kits rated for DDR5-5600 and in general I consider them not viable for Corsair's spec 36-36-36. Out of 6 kits with Micron ICs from Adata XPG/Crucial/Kingston/Patriot the best ones I've tested at DDR5-5600/1.25 V maxed out at 34-39-39 in HCI Memtest. Even at 1.40 V x-36-36 is (way) too ambitious unfortunately (tRCD and tRP adjusted in parallel).

Congratulations! Given that LN2 has been used for this result: Can you share some insights about the subzero behaviour of DDR5 regarding voltage/temperature range? Would be much appreciated ... Is the CL40 variant based on Samsung like the CL36 version?

Congratulations, very impressive score! ? I'm quite amazed how you managed to squeeze 700 MHz FSB out of the setup and beat the existing E7200 CPU-Z scores by such a huge margin of over 500 MHz considering the names I see in that list.

0.10 MHz for the win - congratulations! Somehow I thought we'll see a backup score from TaPaKaH, but obviously that isn't the case. Btw I didn't look for it, but do you guys know by accident what the BCLK WR for LGA 1366 is?

Cache voltage = core voltage 46 is pretty much the limit for Rocket Lake on ambient and voltage doesn't really make a difference (at least for me).

Seems to be the golden one of the golden ones. It's really crazy when you consider that the frequency gap to the CPU from F.O.G.N.A on 2nd is bigger than the gap between #2 and 10# in the E8600 ranking. Very well done, amazing result!

I know I'm late to the party, but I just have to say congratulations! 766 MHz FSB is really amazing. O_O Just imagine you would have seen this in 2008. Any info on the FSB-related voltages used?

You might be into the whole stability testing, but RMA processes tend to be troublesome.

DDR4-5100 spec ftw Congrats, well done!

Sam and LGA 775 SPi efficiency - name a more iconic duo. It's obviously an outstanding result (congratulations!) and quite scary to think it's not even his strongest CPU. When I remember how impressive sub 7m 30s once was, it's kind of crazy we even consider this now. With perfect efficiency scaling 6,700 MHz would lead Sam to ~7m 0.5s. So even 6,700 MHz would likely not be enough, given efficiency tends not to scale 1:1 and it might even be necessary to ease some values on the memory side for DDR3-2144 @ 670 MHz FSB (5:8). However I don't know how much cherrypicking effort Sam has put into the RAM side by his standards compared to the CPU hunt. So maybe there is even a little bit to gain there? I would love to see this, but we really need some magic for this.

High frequency traders (if interested into the subject matter you might have a look into Flash Boys by Michael Lewis); although I'm a bit surprised they would choose i9-10980XEs. i9-9990XE or i9-9900K(S) might be superior depending on the use case. FPGAs are pretty popular now, too.

Would have to lie to say I'm not surprised by the IC selection, but it's great to see more variety. Congratulations on opening the DDR4-6000 club and a remarkable result!

Congratulations, awesome! Now we get a new DDR4 WR every day ... and I like it. ? To be honest I'm surprised about the low voltage used and would have expected 1.8V+. Obviously it wasn't necessary, but would that have been counterproductive?

With the frequency of new DDR4 WRs (quite ambiguous^^) I guess we might see DDR4-6000 sooner than expected. Congratulations, very nice score!

Wow, congratulations! Would have expected Samsung B-Dies as well, but just got the press release after I saw this as forum topic. According to it the used Micron E-Dies offer better temperature/voltage scaling with less hassle than other ICs ("plug & play experience" to quote OGS).

Kudos to G.Skill for keeping these competitions alive with an even increased cash prize pool!

Asus Maximus X Apex (UEFI 1301) + Core i7-8700K

The kit was just part of a review aimed at mainly gamers for daily usage, so unfortunately not. But the kit is still here. So if I find some time for additional tests, I can add some results here.

Only ambient usage here, but had the same G.Skill kit with SK Hynix H5AN8G8NCFR-TFC a few months ago. The kit was HCI-Memtest-stable e. g. @ 3866/16-20-20, 3600/15-19-19 and 3333/14-18-18 at 1.35 Volt if you care about scaling. I raised tRCD and tRP simultaneously, so maybe one can handle lower values.

For me it's interesting to see that Vince's run is faster for all finished batches after the first one with an advantage of up to 28 ms after batch 9 finished. From "Batch 19 finished" to "PI value output" however his system needs 114 ms, while Slinky is noticably faster with 98 ms. At first you might think that the higher-clocked 7980X with faster RAM outperformed the lower clocked 7960X with slower RAM in this phase of the benchmark in some way, but watching at the statistics segment it seems that some small hickup with Titan V #2 lead to the loss of the WR. Slinky's values are way more even in comparison. Anyway, congratulations!

It's a shame that the likely highest % overclock for any Intel CPU ever goes unnoticed for several days and is worth 2.0 hardware points and 6.1 hardware team power points. I still think a ranking/reward for OC in % would be appropriate to reward the effort and awesomeness and motivate people to push even harder. Anyway, kudos to WYTIWX. Fantastic result, very well done!

It's a mobile CPU with locked multiplier, so unfortunately not.
