Intel Core i7-4770K Haswell CPU Overclocked to 7 GHz

[rudrax]

All central processing unit series have a so-called flagship CPU, and for the Haswell collection, that highest-end chip is called Core i7-4770K.

Logically, I'd expect the CPU to have to be launched before any overclocking records are set.

Then again, this isn't the first time a chip gets put through its paces prior to its debut (June 2013).

The Core i7-4770K processor was overclocked to 7 GHz by an overclocker with the handle "rtiueuiurei."

The exact clock speed was of 7012.65 MHz, achieved by setting a base clock of 91.07 MHz multiplied by 77.0x.

The core voltage was pretty high too, at 2.56V. At least that's what CPU-Z says.

The PC that achieved the performance used 2 GB of DDR3 RAM and an LGA 1150 motherboard. No other details are known.

Isn't 4770 is 4th gen. CPU? Intel eliminated Hyper threading for them?

Uses Haswell CPU and nVidia 8400 GS graphics card? Wut? :wtf:

I were thinking the same lol.

GPU doesn't really matter for the kind of test they performed. And, nothing is said about cooling gear. If nitro cooling were used, there is nothing to get shocked.

Three things:

1. The overclocker can afford / use Haswell CPU, but cannot afford or care for a good graphics card?
2. Try to understand the bottleneck this thing will create. A Haswell CPU and 8400 GS graphics card is literally comparing a workhorse rabbit with a lousy but good in it's ol' days tortoise. With the bottleneck of such a graphics card, you wouldn't be able to play a good game at 30FPS, forget about 60FPS.
3. This can be fake.

Another purpose using bad GFX card, may be, to create more stress for the CPU to get the increasing clock.

woooooooooot, 7 gigs :o

I think my mind just got o"verclocked!!! :D

ok, unplug your gamer mind for a minute. not everything NEEDS video acceleration. affording a Haswell CPU has nothing to do with using a rather basic video card..probably the motherboard doesn't come with integrated graphics which are good enough for the tests he's making.

there is NO bottleneck.you can stress the cpu as much as you like just by extending this tan(atan(tan(atan(...))) etc to achieve the desired results.

no need for a game.

You don't seem to get the point. I'm not talking at all about gaming here. The system will be nothing but totally unstable with that contrast of power. I know this cause I had used that particular card very recently. What he has is a powerhouse CPU, whereas the graphics is nothing but miserable one. In simple terms, you are running in a race, you won the race, but turns out, you have a very bad vision so you don't know where you are running or going with your feet, but somehow you still manage to cross the finish line and even come first? And even if it's possible, it's not probable.

To take my argument further, why not Haswell's build-in GPU? If a motherboard can run Haswell and it's new socket, it can surely allow the CPU to use it's GPU, but no, the tester decides to use low powered, 6 years old card. :wtf:

In the end, this thing just appeared on the CPU-Z database, and if anyone wants, he can fake this thing. There is no actual proof of how this happened, when this happened or who did it. What we have here is just random numbers posted by someone with no identity and proof.

No hyperthreading? :wtf:

He could have used gpu Iris pro included in that chip. :(

My i7 has a basic graphics card and it runs good but i could have one far better for gaming. I know that sometimes the lack of GPU power could cause problems but since i got the graphics card for my older computer i figured i could try it out on my newer build. Since i generally do light gaming anyway the existing GPU works fine, im not currently on the machine though so i don't know the specs off hand.
