What is the fastest OC ever?!?

oh, roflcopter! I was like, "P4? I must get myself some of this magical P4!"
 
P4... uhh Phenom 4? what is that? lol, me=noob!

LOL we're not that old! Thats hilarious dude. My god...

Well it depends what you think about as the fastest OC... for pure clock speed it'd be an older p4 or whatev, but depends how you look at the fastest OC. (where multi-cores stack). So a quad at 4000 mhz is 16000 mhz.. I suppose. If you'd think about it that way lol. *shrug*
 
Ah, yeah, that makes sense. Beacause you can OC the single core chips higher because they don't generate as much heat at the multi cores... right?

Well, the P4's were on a much larger process than today's processors are so that along with the lower transistor count means more oc' potential. Amd is getting close with their quad cores though! Broke 7ghz on a retail 45nanometer quad!

What about disabling the other 3 cores and OC'ing only the one? wouldn't this yield a higher gain? Or is that only theoretical; and in practice its still limited?
 
Well, in theory it could work, but the fact remains that the process shrink means there are more transistors to actuate meaning it is harder in the end to achieve those higher speeds.

Hmmm, looks like they don't know how to take screenshots. I'm guessing its actually not valid?

thats the highest Quad core at 6.5 which was stable but they used like... a tank of LN2 and Liquid Helium to go below 200 celcius... and they played games fine...

I guess these was 7.0ghz I didn't know about


Pentium 4 8ghz, actual SS that looks like a SS...

and 8.1ghz :O

And a failture trying to break 8.2ghz


My ***, they didn't even boot cuss they spilled ln2.
