Quick question...roughly how fast would this 3770k go at -100C?

Hi Folks

Another quick question....
If a 3770k goes 6.8GHz with ~1.9v @ -190C, what do you think I'd be able to get out of it at -100c?

I know it's tough to say but hoping you more experienced folks would be able to give some kind of ballpark.

Looking for 2D globals (hware points don't stink either but my globals are relatively horrible atm)
 
Not a global chip at -100C

grab a 4770K , most of the 4790 are less than stellar from what I have seen.
 
At -60C my 3770K or 4930K at 2 cores were running at about 5.7GHz so I would say that at least 6GHz for 2 core 2D and 3D. Most 4 thread+ tests will run lower and all depends if CPU likes high voltage at -100 or not.

Haswell seems better idea but some will hit a wall at ~5.4GHz and trying high voltages may easier kill them. Most are scalling good up to ~1.7-1.75V. Some will go up to 2V but not many.
All my 4670K, 4690K and 4770K couldn't make more than 5.2GHz on ss and 5.3GHz on dice. One 4790K made 5.6-5.7GHz on dice ( and of course it had to die ) while second one couldn't pass 5.3-5.4GHz.

My 2D globals are also bad just because there is too many 6.4GHz+ 3770K and 6GHz+ Haswells in the ranking. For 5.7GHz haswell results I get like 10 points max and usually it's lower. Tests like Spi or Pifast are not counting at all at anything below 6GHz.

Thanks everyone. Gonna pass on this chip. Have more than plenty to bench anyway. Will save the money and hope a 6GHz 4960x shows up (at a decent price) at some point.
