Phenom II TWKR 42 Hits 7.00 GHz, New High for AMD (http://www.techpowerup.com/98692/Phenom_II_TWKR_42_Hits_7.00_GHz_New_High_for_AMD.h tml)
AMD's Phenom II TWKR 42 quad-core (http://www.techpowerup.com/#) CPU was made with only one objective: to deliver record-setting CPUs to more professional overclockers than thought was possible. Having rolled out at least 100 units, AMD opened a door for several world-record attempts. Some of the most important ones took place at the SF3D OC Gathering (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=228525) in Finland. The new world record the group of overclockers put up was 7.00 GHz. The record was attempted on a DFI LANParty 790FXB-M3eH7 motherboard, and involved (from what the validation page (http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=597938) shows) a bus speed of 250 MHz, and 28.0x bus multiplier. Its voltage remains a secret-sauce.

Other highlights include a run of 3DMark06 with the CPU clocked at 6.54 GHz, on a different bench. 3DMark06 tests the stability of this clock speed (http://www.techpowerup.com/#), as the test includes the CPU test score. The bench was aided by two ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2 GPUs in CrossFireX mode. The same bench was used for a run of 3DMark05, with the CPU clocked at 6.67 GHz. This time however, the CPU test was not part of the score.

The XS thread is full of results and other info as well.

Very cool to see the first 7 GHz on non-Netburst chips and a quad core none the less.

The 7 GHz chips wan't officially a TWKR chip IIRC though, just a 955BE ES from AMD ;)

Correct. Thats why the title is a bit off. Its not officially a TWKR. :thumbsup:

Yeah, it wasnt a TWKR, its was a high leakage 955 on LN2 aswell I think, rather than LHe, which is surprising,
They did get the TWKR to over 6.6 though.

Wow, that's sweet! I may consider an AMD chip for my next build! I guess we'll see.

AMD definitely much more fun to overclock now. :)

Really need extreme cooling to have fun though. They just loves them some cold :)

I thought the tweakers were nothing more than leaky 955s?

Got to get me one of these new AMD platforms as they look fun as hell.

Actually, reading on XS they mentioned both LHe and Ln2

Actually she saw me posting on this "new forum" (new for me anyway) and she was all like, "Great another forum?! Don't you have enough you post on already?"

:rofl

She's just jealous you guys are soooo cool! cool2
