TerraRaptor bags two more Core 2 Duo E8200 golds

Just two days ago, Kazakhstani overclocker TerraRaptor published his first record with the Core 2 Duo E8200 processor. Back then, the enthusiast focused solely on SuperPi — 32M, and it seemed odd that there were no validations in other benchmarks.

Now, the reason for the two-day delay in new results has finally become clear.

This time, TerraRaptor decided to benchmark his overclocked Core 2 Duo E8200 processor in wPrime - 32m and its more demanding counterpart, wPrime - 1024m. According to the enthusiast, he spent two full days tweaking and configuring his operating system:

The Kazakhstani overclocker's insights only reinforce what we've recently said in our news coverage: pushing hardware limits isn't just about component overclocking. To achieve top benchmark scores, you also need to optimize and modify software; but never the benchmark programs themselves — that leads to immediate disqualification!

Now, let's dive into the benchmark session's results:

In the lighter wPrime - 32m run, the chip completed the test in 13 seconds and 21 milliseconds:

For the more intensive wPrime - 1024m benchmark, the results were 7 minutes, 3 seconds, and 891 milliseconds:

In both instances, the chip was overclocked to 5144 MHz using a phase-change cooling system.

The enthusiast only specified the ASUS Rampage Extreme motherboard as part of his test bench.
