For eight months, French overclocker The Silver was absent from the front page of the HWBot database. His last major achievements were six records in the 3-core category set using an unlocked dual-core AMD Phenom II X2 560 BE. As you probably guessed from the headline, he used a familiar core-unlocking trick once again to climb to the top of the 5-core rankings.
In practice, the 5-core category is essentially a playground for owners of AMD Phenom II chips based on 6-core dies with two disabled cores. The image below perfectly illustrates the state of competition in this ranking:
⤢ ВІДКРИТИBut let's get straight to the results. Using liquid nitrogen, The Silver pushed the five active cores of his Phenom II X4 960T BE to ~6400 MHz and completed the following suite of benchmarks:
Benchmark: | Result: | CPU frequency: | RAM frequency: | RAM timings: |
15341 points | 6371 MHz | 1758 MHz | 6-6-6-18-18 1T | |
10min 26sec 92ms | 6401.7 MHz | 1765.8 MHz | 6-6-6-18-18 1T | |
4sec 515ms | 6430 MHz | 1811.8 MHz | 6-6-6-18-18 1T | |
2min 24sec 219ms | 6377 MHz | 1836.2 MHz | 6-6-6-18-18 1T |
Unfortunately, the French overclocker did not share a detailed specs list. The Silver only mentioned his motherboard, the ASUS ROG Crosshair IV Formula, which has also been used in his previous benching sessions.
