Intel Core i9-7900X Overclocked To 5.7GHz, Shatters Cinebench World Records

Intel officially rolled out its brand new Skylake-X and Kaby Lake-X processors earlier this week as part of its Core-Xfamily. Processors range from the “lowly” $242 Core i5-7640X to the monster Core i9-7980XE, which is priced at $1,999.

Right smack dab in the middle of the lineup is the Core i9-7900X, which has a base clock of 3.3GHz, Turbo Boost 2.0 clock of 4.3GHz and Turbo Boost Max 3.0 clock of 4.5GHz. However, extreme enthusiasts are not content with mere stock speeds, which is why we are happy to report that the Core i9-7900X has already been overclocked to insane speeds, and is shattering benchmark records along the way.

Elmor, the same person that chalked up a world record by overclocking the AMD Ryzen 7 1800X to 5.8GHz, managed to overclock the Core i9-7900X to an impressive 5.7GHz. This insane overclock was of course achieved using liquid nitrogen (LN2). Coming in a 5,755MHz, the 10-core HEDT processor managed to score 3181 points in Cinebench R15. Moving on to Cinebench R11.5, the processor was pushed just a tad further to 5,785MHz and earned a score 34.79.

Elmor’s platform of choice was the ASUS Rampage V1 Apex X299 gaming motherboard, which was paired with G.SKILL Trident Z DDR4 memory. An ASUS GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Strix Gaming was tossed in the rig as well, although it had no part in the broken benchmark records.

I wonder how far these chips will overclock on air or water. Hopefully the TIM won't hold these chips back.

Man... I wanna see that 18 core bad boi...

[Humbug]

AMD threadripper will beat this score.

But probably fall short of the Intel 18 core...

[PCGuy_5960]

I don't think that anyone is surprised, the only other 10 core CPU is the 6950X which can't clock high enough so the score wasn't very hard to beat....

Haswell-E and Broadwell-E both overclock well on water.  More so Haswell-E, but we can expect the same of Skylake X due to the improved architecture.  

 

We're still waiting on reviews to see how the non-solder thing is going to work out, but if you are willing to delid, Skylake X is going to overclock like a sum bitch compared to previous Intel high core HEDT chips.

yeah, they overclocked fairly well , but this time it's slightly different . This is on a significantly newer process , and skylake X has a reworked cache.

I like the use of SHATTERED in the new world record description.

This is no FX-9590

AMD should make an EPYC CPU with 4 9590 dies instead of 4 Ryzen dies and sell it as a space heater.

Skylake architecture overclocks better then Haswell.

We have nothing to indicate that this is an issue as it wasn't with Skylake vs Haswell.  As a matter of fact it was better with Skylake.

It's amazing how quickly technology advances. Just a year ago I built my new system with a 6700K. I thought I had it made with 4 cores/8 threads and now here comes a friggin' family of CPUs that put mine to shame...

There's no way around it . An overclocked , overvolted 18 core skylake chip is going to pull loads of power (i'm guessing over 500W OC )

Low clocked xeons already pull quite a bit of power , and that's at ~2ghz , never mind what this will run at .There hasn't been any node change here .

 

Mind you , this won't just be the case for the 7980xe .

I fully expect an overclocked threadripper chip to pump power like a motherf****r.

Just don't let that 175W TDP fool you is all.

Depends tho. The latest Haswell-E batches overclock better than Skylake CPUs

My 5820K pulled 450w. It'll be way more.

Not what i meant . 6700k overclocked similarly to the 4790k .

 

Just saying that Skylake X has a different cache subsystem than Skylake S ( mainstream ) , unlike broadwell E/Haswell E which were just scaled up versions of the mainstream chips . It's not completely out of the question that it might behave differently with respect to overclocking .

Mind you , i don't expect it to be a bad overclocker by any means.

22nm though , but teah , it's going to be bad.

1600W PSU for the CPU (using the Austin Method)

Ouch.  lol 

 

My 5960x may beat some Skylake chips by a bit in clock speed, but Skylake kills it in IPC.

you sure it's the cpu alone?

800w TDP let's go. ?

Really? I don't think that a 6700K at 4.6GHz (pretty much what most people are getting) will be better than your 5960X at 4.9GHz, even in single threaded workloads...

Too low, 225x4=900W

I wouldn't doubt a cpu can pull that much . I mean just look at how much power an fx 8150 can pull when overclocked lol.
