This is a stable every day running configuration. If I use the "go all out settings," I could comfortably break through 5100+ MHz for this test or possibly higher landing in 3rd-4th place for the configuration and with a full 128GB of RAM installed (unlike all other tester), but why bother - this test is silly?

Congrats on beating me with an H2O config.

@Mickulty, It is a world record for that cooling solution and CPU. You might as well say 100 m Olympic Run records aren't world records because they are no different than a marathon - both performed by runners.

Just beat my own score and with CPU-Z on screen, so it's all legit and by the rules now.

I am far more interested in getting the system stable at 5 GHz 24/7 below 80 C for actual use as a workstation. "This" just happened along the way as a fun aside while I was testing the real configuration going forward.

@MACSBEACH98, I wasn't aware of that and will fix it tomorrow, by rerunning.

@Mickulty, or before I beat the current world record by a mile, like everyone else does? Err, wait... no...

The motherboard is an ASRock Fatal1ty X299 Professional Gaming i9 XE, for some reason hwbot did not accept that as a valid motherboard. The video card used for testing is an EVGA GTX 750 Ti. Notes: This system has [B]128GB[/B] of RAM installed, making the RAM very difficult to overclock. Otherwise, I would have beaten the Chiller submitters with my plain old H2O system. The CPU is [I]not[/I] a golden sample by any stretch of the imagination. It is average at best and could barely make a fixed 4.3 GHz before I "had my way with it."
