Let the madness begin.
We knew it was solely a thing of fourth dimension earlier individual doused Intel's flagship Core i9-7980XE (Skylake-X) processor inwards liquid nitrogen as well as cranked upwardly the clockspeed, as well as correct on cue, renowned overclocker der8auer posted a video showing the fleck running at 6.1GHz.
He was able to force all xviii cores past times 6GHz, non simply 1 of them. Not solely did this require extreme cooling, der8auer besides had to apply a generous part of thermal paste—both to the CPU perish itself, which he exposed past times slicing off a department of the integrated heatspreader (IHS), as well as the surrounding sections of the printed circuit board (PCB). Without doing that, der8auer says he loses close 400MHz nether load.
This is a ameliorate overclocking consequence than der8auer was able to obtain on an AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X processor. With AMD's chip, der8auer was able to striking 5.4GHz on all sixteen cores, giving him a score of 4514 inwards Cinebench R15. He ran the same benchmark on the Core i9-7980XE running at 5.6GHz as well as scored 5635.
Now here's where things larn crazy. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 hold off at the Core i9-7980XE's ability consumption when running at 5.5Ghz shows around seventy amps beingness sucked through the +12V rail, most of which goes correct to the CPU. That way the CPU is drawing around 840W, fifty-fifty though the vCore is sitting at a relatively tame (when it comes to extreme overclocking) 1.45V. At 5.8GHz as well as 6GHz, wattage jumps to 1,000W.
Rather than goal there, der8auer slapped an Nvidia Titan Xp graphics bill of fare into the setup, soaked it inwards LN2, as well as fix novel single-card 3DMark benchmark records—the overclocked organization scored 45,705 inwards 3DMark 11, 35,782 inwards 3DMark Fire Strike, as well as 120,425 inwards 3DMark Vantage. Good stuff.
