Japanese Overclocker Sets SuperPI Record with 7.30GHz Pentium 4.
Famous Japanese overclocker who calls himself Memesama has set a yet another world’s record in overclocking Intel Pentium 4 processor. This time the well-known computer enthusiast achieved 7.30GHz speed.
According to the statement issued by Memesama in his blog as well as in XtremeSystems web-site’s forum, the system managed to calculate π (pi) number to 1 million decimal places in approximately 17 seconds, which is the world’s record of today. Core-clock of 7304MHz is also the highest speed Intel Pentium 4 processor ever achieved. Earlier clock-speed record breaking – 7.13GHz – also belongs to Memesama.
The experiment was conducted on virtually the same system that was used to set the previous world’s record in both Intel Pentium 4 clock-speed as well as SuperPI benchmark result, but this time even higher microprocessor voltage was set.
In particular, Memesama used ASUS P5WD2 Premium mainboard powered by Intel i955X chipset, Corsair PC2-5400UL 512MB memory modules as well as Intel Pentium 4 670 processor with stock speed of 3.80GHz. The processor system bus was overclocked to 1537MHz; processor’s voltage was pumped up to 1.86V, significantly higher than default setting; memory latency settings were CL4 3-3-4, memory voltage was set to 2.26V. Liquid nitrogen was used for cooling down the microprocessor.
This is forced water cooling country. I didn't think any motherboards and chipsets could support this kind of speed yet.
Oh yeah, my computer can go from 0 to 1 million Pi decimal places in 14.2 seconds!
I'm really bored with super-overclockers. You'd think they would at least try a challenge and use a chip that wasn't built for raw clock speed (as the P4 is.)
Let me know when they bring a Pentium M to 4 Ghz.
Hehe OK. I think the previous SuperPi was on a Dothan.
...Previous SuperPi world record...was on a Dothan
what would this mean to normal people?
Extreme overclocking is a sport. To normal people this may mean nothing.
Virtually, huh?
However, the environmental impact statement he is required to file When he turns it on or off takes two weeks to prepare each time and, due to the Kyoto Protocol, he is only allowed to run the computer for 9 minutes and 18 seconds at a time.
"This is forced water cooling country"
Either it's watercooled, or he's heating his whole apartement building with a p4 chip.
He's way beyond that. He used liquid nitrogen.
If you did this you will be twice as fast as your opponent in on line games.
My son-in-law lives there.
