Intel’s Pentium 4 Overclocked to 7.1GHz, Japanese Sets World Record
By Angsuman Chakraborty, Gaea News NetworkFriday, August 19, 2005
A Japanese overclocker, Memesana, has overclocked Intel Pentium 4 670 microprocessor to 7.132 GHz and even run certain benchmarks on the system. It was cooled using liquid nitrogen.
In order to accomplish the extreme overclocking Japanese enthusiast Memesana, who published his results at XtremeSystems web-site, used ASUS P5WD2 Premium mainboard based on Intel’s i955X core-logic, Corsair PC2-5400UL 512MB memory modules as well as Intel Pentium 4 670 processor with stock speed of 3.80GHz. The processor system bus was overclocked to 1520MHz; processor’s voltage was pumped up to 1.70V, significantly higher than default setting; memory latency settings were CL4 3-3-4, memory voltage was set to 2.3V.
According to the posted statement, the system managed to calculate π (pi) number to 1 million decimal places in 18.516 seconds, which is currently the world’s record.

I am very suprised by this development, because I didn’t expect the CPU to beable to go that fast. My masters degree is in cooling of high powered lasers, which get a lot hotter than any little puny microchip. I found another site related to cryo cooling of CPUs, which have videos showing how another person achieved and amazing overclocking speed. Also here is another website explain cooling for High Powered Lasers. Brian Glassman Technology https://www.TechRD.com |
