Crosshair V Formula breaks the barrier again
Addendum 11/08/2011
Andre Yang has done it again!
Just last week Andre Yang crept passed AMD’s world record of 8.43GHz to 8.46Ghz, well, guess what? This hardcore overclocker managed to smash his previous record again. Increasing the overclock a well respected 120MHz, from 8.46GHz to 8.58GHz! The only notable changes during the overclocking were 2.076V core voltage in the new record (versus 1.992V in the old one) and of course Andre used liquid nitrogen to cool down the heated overclocking attempt.
After this I really think that a 9GHz is possible! Let us know how you feel about this world record feat; will Andre smash his way through 9GHz?
Not too long ago, AMD wowed the overclocking world when they set a world record of 8.43GHz with their latest Bulldozer processor. And now super overclocker, Andre Yang, surpassed the old record set by AMD.
Adopting the same method of enabling only 2 of the original 8 cores of the Bulldozer Processor and using ASUS very own ROG Crosshair V Formula, he blitzed to a new world record of 8.46GHz.
The thing to note is that Andre only applied a core voltage of 1.992v whereas AMD did it with 2.016v. Certainly this is what ASUS ROG Crosshair V Formula is good at “OVERCLOCK IT TO THE MAX”.
Hmm, something tells me that another world record might be right around the corner now. So what do you guys think? Share your thoughts on this at the ROG forums or ROG Facebook page.
