15 years and 10,000 CPUs: Luumi sets six records in the Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 category
Finnish overclocker Luumi tested over 10,000 Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 CPUs over 15 years, setting six new records in the processor's category.
Sometimes overclocking is just about squeezing every last drop of performance out of your hardware to get the best value for your money. Other times, it's about sleepless nights and searching for that one perfect golden sample out of 10,000 identical chips.
⤢ ВІДКРИТИFinnish enthusiast Luumi undertook a massive project to test the overclocking potential of 10,000 Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 processors. He finally found the ultimate golden sample, which propelled him to first place across six categories for this specific CPU:
His most impressive achievement was taking the crown in the CPU Frequency category, pushing the 65nm Conroe core to a mind-blowing 5,644 MHz.
Category: | Result: | CPU frequency: |
13s 938ms | 5,536 MHz | |
8s 985ms | 5,593 MHz | |
7m 38s 344ms | 5,441 MHz | |
5,644.8 MHz | 5,644.8 MHz | |
16s 920ms | 5,480 MHz | |
8m 51s 437ms | 5,440 MHz |
To keep the CPU cool during benchmarking, Luumi used a liquid nitrogen pot, running on a test bench with the following specs:
Motherboard: Asus P5E3 Premium with SPD mod (BIOS 0803 from 05/21/2009)
Storage: ADATA SP550 (FW: O0803B5a)
RAM: Corsair Dominator GTX2 (2x 2GB)
PSU: 2000W Super Flower 8Pack
OS: Microsoft Windows XP Professional
Here is what the setup looked like:
