Might as well put this subforum to use.

For those checking the PR, have a look at the references at the bottom of the PR. Cool, eh

Some amateur footage from Chew* when pretesting at home with Phase-Change (6G) and Dry Ice (6.6G).

it's about on par with the best cedarmills ... unless the retail steppings bring any improvement - it's going to be close on the top in CPUz

maybe, youve only seen the tip of the iceberg so far imo

That sound good, future chips could perform better than current ones under testing.

[flanker]

heh, hope for 5.5GHz or more validation, if I got with Thuban with luck and a bit lower ambients temps (about +14C) 5 GHz, so...5.5+ GHz at FX?

[unityofsaints]

Holy thread necromancy but let's give it a try... the overclockers.com article in the OP mention a 8.3 GHz WR by TaPaKaH on Cedar Mill but I don't see any trace of this on The Bot or even in the frequency WR timeline:

Does anyone still have the validation link or any info on this, the last frequency WR on Intel?

[Don_Dan]

You can find it on the CPU-Z Validator - OC World Records page:

8308.94MHz was rejected on the new CPU-Z version while the old one validated fine.

Or we could just ask @TaPaKaH.

Here's the HWBOT sub:

and the discussion thread with a few videos:

This chip was never mine, just a random purchase by K404.
I think best of my own chips stopped around 8180-8200 ish.
