I Saw an E8600 at 7GHz - Crazy Overclocking Results!

I recently received another lot of the very same batch of E8600 that I recently ran up to 6.93GHz in CPU-z validation for example. One of the CPUs seemed very optimal based on water tests, good overclocking and very good VID value. This particular CPU ended up being a true stellar of E8600 in terms of overclocking as I managed to run, even long lasting multi threaded workloads up to 6.85GHz. I passed WPrime 1024M twice at 6.85, but the system crashed after the test finished due to temperature.
Super PI 32M was a big surprise as well, as I had lots of issues previously with stability in that particular test with my previous CPU, but now I managed to run the test once at 6.76GHz and got a fully flat 7-minute run in that test. Just 1 millisecond away from a sub 7-minute run. Super PI 1M I could run quite easily as high as 6.91GHz and 6.93 was very close on passing as well.
CPU-z validation at 7GHz is still what I'm looking for, I got 6.984 validated and saw 700x10 a few times on the screen so I will definitely get it next time. Being able to see 7000MHz is already a huge milestone for any E8600 and later generation LGA775 CPU.

Luumi aka 775 King! Once again congrats, I had no doubt you would come back with a better CPU, smashing these records. ❤🎉

[@B3L13V3R]

Guys a magician. Wow.

[@L0wPull]

Super nice to find treasure like this so long after it’s release 🎉

[@gagarin777]

Congrats, the fastest c2d! Those scores are hard to beat as OC scene was very strong back in the day with lots of LN2 submissions.

[@Luckyn00bOC]

Whoa, fastest C2D ever? Congrats!!

[@OVERKILL_PINBALL]

Gtz! Awesome result!!

[@jedi9577]

7GHz on Wolfdale is an incredible achievement! Congrats!

[@onogrirwin]

Great to see these gains!

[@masterfloppa725]

Grats dude, knew it took a lot of tuning and effort with GTLs and skews to get that :)

[@el_manosanta]

The best!

[@ObviousCough]

fantastic!

[@Fartuch87]

good job i still have my old old E8500 ( first cpu bought for my money )

[@p1st0ls44]

i had one of these cpus back in the day. hidden gems for sure.

[@GiovanyCaballero]

Wow

[@netbat4399]

e6600 cpu z validated oc record is 9ghz

[@Peni84]

Melko kaheleita tuloksia. 😱

I also have an E8600 and E8500 with an Asus P5K Deluxe with Adata Vitesta Extreme ram. The E8500 achieved 4.5GHz easily on some office board, maybe the E8600 can hit 4.8GHz on air without too high voltages? My QX9650 reached 4.3GHz at 1.38v I think, Q6600 did 3.8GHZ at ~1.4v.

[@LuumiJuhani]

This is 4.5 pifast 1.2v and 5GHz 1.35v on water.

[@amirhoseinizadpanah4310]

what is the batch?

[@LuumiJuhani]

Secret for now
