new skylake overclocking record

[linuxfan66]

http://hexus.net/tech/news/cpu/90362-intel-skylake-overclock-record-702566mhz-achieved/

None of the above sensible considerations have much of an impact on competitive overclocking enthusiasts. PC Gamerreports that Hong Kong's Chi-Kui Lam recently managed to get his Intel Core i7 6700K processor running at a record breaking 7025.66MHz. As is usual with overclocks of modern multi-core processors, only a single core was tasked (core voltage 4.032V) and lashings of liquid nitrogen was applied to keep the processor cool enough.

 

Other system specs, as used by Lam to gain Skylake overclocking pole position, include the following; an ASRock Z170M OC Formula motherboard, a G.SKILL Ripjaws 4 DDR4 RAM memory module, a Plextor 256GB SSD, an Nvidia GeForce GT630 graphics card/towel radiator, an Antec 1300W power supply, and the system ran Microsoft Windows XP. Surpassing 7GHz with Skylake is impressive but world's fastest clocked processor record goes to the AMD FX-8370 which has been pushed as high as 8.723GHz.

While i am impressed by it. One thing bothers me about overclocking records. They all do it with all but one core disabled. I would like oc records require stock features reasonably work as against strip it down until you've missed the point of the design.

I'm with you on this.

It's all about the max frequency with this record though, doesn't matter how many cores etc, just about how far you can possibly push the CPU.

 

If you want to see how fast these puppies can go under 4 core 8 thread conditions, check out the categories for benchmarks on HWBOT, such as hwbot prime / cinebench R15.

Ya, it just means they don't want to deal with thermal throttling.  Plus, aren't these like those AMD people who like just upright poor liquid nitrogen onto that?

Yes... That's how extreme overclocking works lol.

As I understand yes they are basically pouring it in...

Yes, a giant copper container is mounted onto the CPU, and the Ln2 is poured into it, thus cooling the container down & CPU as well. I believe some are half copper half aluminum, some are other materials, but 99% of the time it's copper.

 

Here's one without insulation, just for photos basically to show what goes on:

Figured.

Basically what Lays says below.

Also, when did the 8370 beat the 8150's 8 record by over .5ghz?  It's mentioned in the linked article in linux's op.  I mean I get they do these for the interest, but I doubt there'd be much stability in actual application.

There is stability in actual application, just not at quite as high frequencies.

 

IE: record on 1 / 2 core like this one was set at 7 Ghz, you may actually see stable 4 core 4 thread or 4 core 8 thread operation on the same CPU at ~6.5-6.7 Ghz depending on the bench maybe slightly lower.

Hire someone to do it for you

The performance yield for cost would make a multicomputer mini render farm cheaper

What is the point of these EXTREME CPU overclockings ? 

Ok, they've hit 8GHz, so what? What are the benefits for consumers or even enthusiasts or professionals???

 

 

WTF is going on with this world?

It's that "they can do it"

You get more performance than a stock.

 

Would you say no to free performance? Ofc it's not free like it consumes more power and liquid nitrogen and shitty you have to pour the ln all the time.

[Tic-Tac]

Yes I get that but WTF?! I can't seem to comprehend all that EEEEEXTREEEEEEMEEEEEE bulls*it, not to mention ONE-TIME EXTREME as in this case. 

 

And guess what will happen next ? Some Asian smartas* will put a PR line on their new line of motherboards like : "ON OUR SUPER FORMULA MOTHER OF GOD EXTREME MOTHERBOARD WAS SET A NEW SKYLAKE OVERCLOCKING WORLD RECORD!!!!!! WE'RE SO PROUD OF OUR NEW ULTRA GOD-MADE GAMER MOTHERBOARD!!!" because they strongly believe that gamers are just some stupid kids with their parent's money who will bite on this PR nonsense and of course buy their new ultra gimmick mediocre motherboard. 

 

This is just my  2 céntimos in technicolor to say that all this is just a pretty stupid PR attempt on everyone's wallets in the future, just remember  all this when you see some "gaming" motherboard next year

 

Pouring a liquid nitrogen just to be "cool".... My GOD, that's so f*cking stupid money wasting.....

[Trixanity]

Quoted part in the OP is practically invisible with night theme. 

[Megahurt]

That's why I don't care about OC records, it doesn't translate into performance, if they could run at least one benchmark, it would make a bit more sense to me.

To be fair, there have been way more records set on OC Formula boards than any other boards that I have seen. It's seriously the go-to overclocking board when you want to push things beyond any preconceived limit. So if ASRock advertises the OC Formula as the "SUPER ULTRA EXTREME OVERCOCKING MOTHERBOARD", then it's not exactly false advertisement.

It is about pushing the boundaries of technology, like going to the moon. It might of never directly affect you (as in you being able to go to space). but the small stuff that help them achieve it like DD40 is what better man kind. so when these competitions find a better MOBO design to OC a chip it helps you by having an MOBO on the market that can OC more reliably even if you are not pushing it too these limits. if you think this extreme overclocking is not impotent then overclock is general shouldn't be.

7ghz is impressive. Im with op on this. I always wondered why they dalways do 1 core. I know its for stability, but someone like me wants to see all cores and possibly hyper threading.

I cant be impressed by useless records like this. It's about as useful as the most inflated tires record.

What evaporation pot is that? I may even try out extreme overclocking with dry ice and alcohol someday with an i7-6700K.

8ecc der8auer "beast" pot, it's like made to order only and 500 euro lol. (Not worth it really)

Kingpincooling is cheaper and just as good.

Its a world record. WRs dont have use for anyone, they are made to push boundaries. 

 

All of those who look for a reasonable ordinary life use for world records obviously dont understand the point of them...

 

Just think a little.

One reason I can think of better core binning. Not all cores are made equally, just like how not all chips are made equally. It's easier on the overclocker's wallet if they're just looking for one golden core, rather than look for a chip containing 4 golden cores.

 

And that this competition is all about frequency. Higher is better here, there's no point in having all 4 cores active.

Ah. I was also thinking about getting the EK SF3D Inflection CPU evaporation pot and maybe the SF3D Critical Point for some GPU overclocking with isopropyl alcohol and dry ice.

What is the point of the Formula 1? Those cars are never going to benefit consumers, enthusiasts or professionals. For that matter what's the point of world records in general? It's entertainment.
