Luumi pushes Core 2 Duo E8600 to a record-breaking 6930 MHz
Hardware enthusiast Luumi achieved a new world record, pushing an Intel Core 2 Duo E8600 to an incredible 6930 MHz and claiming the top spot from hundreds of rivals.
Well-known enthusiast Luumi has once again demonstrated exceptional CPU overclocking skills on the LGA 775 platform. The overclocker pushed the popular dual-core Intel Core 2 Duo E8600 chip to a truly impressive 6930.71 MHz, securing a gold medal in the model ranking for that CPU.

⤢ ВІДКРИТИTo achieve such a high frequency, Luumi had to disable one of the processor's two cores. This move significantly reduced the load on the die and the power delivery circuits of the Asus Rampage Extreme motherboard.

⤢ ВІДКРИТИAfter all, to become the top overclocker of such an old CPU, you typically need to test over 1,000 samples — and in Luumi's case, it was an astounding 10,000! Not every enthusiast is ready to take on such a challenge.
