Serbian overclocker d0minat0r was able to earn very, very serious gold in overclocking the Intel Core i5-2500K processor. The record in this discipline of the same name processor rank could not be surpassed since February 28, 2012!
To achieve his result, the enthusiast used a phase transition system, which, coupled with a long selection of a successful copy, brought the Serb 6025 MHz processor frequency:
To say that this is an amazing result is like saying nothing. After all, second-generation Core chips are pretty bad at overclocking in liquid nitrogen and overclockers often have to use more gentle cooling systems.
Let’s hope that d0minat0r will continue to experiment with this instance and even more significant records await us in the future (and based on the comments under the result, it will be so).
The test setup consisted of the following components:
- Motherboard – Asus Maximus IV Extreme-Z
- Cooling – Phase transition system
- RAM – Corsair 2048Mb (CM3X2G1866C7GT)
- Video card – ASUS GeForce GT 610
- SSD – Intel SSDSA2M120G2GC (FW: 2CV102M3)
- Monitor – BenQ GL2450 (BNQ78A4)
