Core 2 Extreme X6800 @ 4.8GHz Live at DreamHack
Written by Andreas G 20 June 2006 02:11

The overclocking at DreamHack continues and after the successful bench sessions on Saturday, with two world records with 3Dmark05 and 3Dmark2001, Kinc and crotale have started going after new records and will continue for as long as DreamHack goes on Tuesday. What we've done so far is to move all of the equipment into the C hall where the room temperature is ~22°C/72°F instead of 32°C/90°F in the D hall at our booth. But even more important was that we got our hands on an Intel Core 2 Extreme X6800 processor sent to DreamHack from Copenhangen via postal express. The processor came to Jönköping during the evening and the tests have been going on nonstop since then, with some fantastic results.

The combination Intel's coming procesor flagship and the cooler air has made miracles reality. During the short period of time we've had the processor we've reached a stable SuperPi frequency of 4.8GHz which has taken Kinc and crotale below the magic 11 second barrier with SuperPi 1M. The second fastest SuperPi 1M time in the world is now 10.735 seconds.

Kinc and crotale is at the moment working hard to test the limits of the new processor wih the same system that broke the old 3Dmark records this weekend and we can already reveal that some of the results have been improved with margin, so you should be able to expect several updates as DreamHack approaches its final hours.
