Wow!!!!  4GHz on a Kentsfield!!!!???  Impressive.  I think I might have a slightly better run on my 939 rig now that its stable, but nowhere near that lol.

...you really are making me think about re-assembling my old 939 'puter...may be it got faster after ten years in a dark basement storage room

I'm digging these overclocked vintage processors you all are posting.

3 and 1/2 hours later, windows is still installing the updates on the clean install of the fall 2021 release iso. lol, can't wait to see the test results for the atom 330 cpu, may even score lower than the p4....       Edit: Well, it surprised me,but still good low end results for a dual core with HT...

Slick OC bro looks like you have everything dialed in. Especially impressive getting to 4.0GHz with that chip. Bang on point!

Updated slow mo leaderboard...

If this was a points competition you would be right near the top since you have pretty good placings on the leaderboard. Those add up to boost your overall points but Ill leave it at that for another day.

Just testing an old laptop that will be put up for sale. This one is almost in no man's land with an i5-3337U, but the overall score would place it on the slow-mo board.

 

 

I'm also not so sure that Avacado's QX6850 belongs on slow-mo when its aggregate score is higher than the two slowest CPUs on the main leaderboard. It's more viable than an i5-4460.

It kind of depends on the scoring criteria I'd think.  Your i5 3337u there is modern enough and has enough modern instruction sets to do just about anything you'd want it to still.  Slowly, yes.....but it'd do it.  The QX6850, while yeah it has high raw CPU power still (for its age), it's lacking instruction sets.  There's some games it won't play, despite it still being a half decent CPU even today (ironically).  It doesn't even have AVX, whereas yours does.

If we're scoring based off the benchmark numbers, then yes you'd be correct.  The QX6850 is a pretty strong CPU, and yes....its faster than stuff on the "fast" board.  Personally, I've got CPU's from Socket A up through AM4 (AMD, because I didn't feel like doing Intel builds too).  I consider my FX and AM4 builds "modern", but I wouldn't call my Thuban, Phenom, or Deneb CPU's modern at all even though they're multi core and still all capable.

Personally, I'd say it shows just how freaking awesome the Core 2 Quad series really were back in the day.  My 2 cents.  He's beating my Thuban with that QX6850, and I have 2 more cores and a newer CPU, and 100MHz clock speed advantage.  And he's wiping the floor with my Thuban there.  Pretty impressive for a CPU from what, 2007?

Thanks for participating one and all. I wanted to thank everyone for the turnout and fun times benching.

 

I was thinking we give this a couple more days for the immediate "end" of the competition submissions, if you feel so inclined.

 

But I also wanted you to know you can continue to post your scores here, they likely just won't be updated anymore after next week. 

 

Thank you to @pioneerisloud for summarizing the scoring methodology above, I think it's right on point.

Well, then here is a new one to replace my prior submission for 10850K (work computer)

I guess I'd better get an entry in here at the deadline.

Ooof. Way to knock a guy into 5th place. 

[Snakecharmed]

Posting an update to reclaim a narrowly-lost rank. I'm getting this 4800H over 6000 points.

Hey guys...

 

Observing the fact that this is the very first comp here and that I see there is still some interest here... we will set a deadline for next tuesday but I will still keep the leaderboard current if people post better scores / improvements after that point for reference purposes. Will update again tonight...

 

Dual x5650s

wifes MSI laptop

i7 11800H @2.3ghz

Deadline will be next Tuesday at noon. Updated boards:

That merely begs the question... why not? If we can't abuse our stuff, what's the point in owning it? 

 

If it is a disposable turdbook with the CPU and GPU soldered to the mainboard, I can see where abusing it would be more problematic. The entire machine is a throw-away part with few serviceable components. No opportunity to correct your silicon lottery losses by tossing in a different CPU/GPU... you're stuck with the cards you were dealt.

TBH I had much more difficulty managing the QX6850 in terms of voltage, clock speed and heat output (and memory clocking for that matter), running the same thermalright 120 extreme air cooler. Only reason I'm not posting that for a submission is I can't find any screen grabs and my NAS is offline ATM. But it was nothing special, i think it was a sub par chip because the highest I could really get stable was around 3.7GHz and it loved to almost complete benchmarks then BSOD like a * and totally wreck you emotionally. Going from that high to that low is mentally devastating. So to further clarify my position: the chips that let me down, they get punished. But abused? Never! 

 

Here is the only half way decent screenshot I could find of my QX6850. I may go back and revisit this platform soon, with Asus P5Q3 motherboard.

You have the right attitude my friend. Do the same thing with my right foot on the gas pedal, more or less. You only live once. Might as well push it to the cutting edge. 

 

But humor aside, I really do care about these chips as I have a growing collection especially the classics. I never run them at high voltage for more than a few minutes at a time. Usually for a benchmark or validation then go back to normal 24/7 OC.

 

This was/is my 24/7 OC for many years for the venerable Q9650. The processor now resides in a compact build for the parents. No problems or degradation, whatsoever.

 

 

Sorry about bombing this thread, so I will leave you with just one more. Though not the highest overclock speed, I felt I needed to add this.. 

 

without a doubt my most satisfying OC for my Q9650.  It's nice to be able to hit that 50% mark.

Cool I just found this so I'm going to submit it, totally forgot about this OC. I was trying to replicate my original AMD Phenom II 970 OEM zosma build. Because 960Ts are still plentiful and cheap and unlock about 50% of the time.
