Austrian overclocker TAGG has chalked up an impressive string of results with an overclocked Intel Pentium E2140. This particular CPU, designed for the LGA 775 platform, normally clocks in at a meager 1600 MHz. That baseline is crucial, because in his recent benching session, TAGG pushed the E2140 to an astonishing 4320 MHz – a massive 170% increase over its stock speed! What's even more remarkable is that at this extreme frequency, the CPU remained stable enough to complete several demanding benchmarks, including wPrime - 1024m, PiFast, Cinebench - R11.5, and Cinebench - R15:
Benchmark | Result | CPU frequency |
9min 58sec 187ms | 4320 MHz | |
22sec 800ms | 4320 MHz | |
2.35 points | 4320 MHz | |
198 points | 4320 MHz |
The Austrian's test bench included an ASUS Rampage Extreme motherboard, a pair of 2GB Corsair Dominator GTX2 RAM modules, and a 1200-watt Corsair power supply.
