Already at the beginning of this weekend Kinc managed to score a new single-card 3DMark2001 world record and then it was a complete humiliation of the previous world record, which was recently set by Norwegian overclocker Stoolman. Last night Kinc continued his overclocking session and improved his previous world record, quite a lot. But our overclocking ace also took the time to set a new single-card 3DMark05 world record. The card is, of course, a GeForce 8800 GTX graphics card from XFX and the processor an Intel Core 2 Extreme X6800. It’s also the processor which has been the key to the new records. He has namely been able to raise the frequency to quite a lot since his last record. From 5060MHz to incredible 5347MHz.
This was possible thanks to an extremely high processor voltage at 2.1V, which you can compare to the 1.72V used during the last world record set by Kinc. It’s the new Mousepot Rev3 pot which makes it possible to keep the temperature low at these extreme frequencies and high voltages. With almost 300MHz more Kinc manages to improve the single-card records in 3DMark2001 and 3DMark05 to the following:
Specifications
Intel Core 2 Extreme X6800 @ 5347MHz (12×445) (Mouse pot rev3 @ -120°C, 2.1V)
ASUS P5W64 Professional
Corsair Dominator PC8888, 3-3-2-4 @ 445MHz
XFX GeForce 8800GTX 1.83Vcore/2.15Vdimm @ -78°C load cascade
Cooltek 600W
We’re obligated to tell you that Kinc will be pushing this system with two graphics cards soon and we will be covering his results, especially as he will continue working with our overclocking during DreamHack Winter 2006 next week.
