Results of a LIFETIME - Intel Core i7 975 Overclocked to 6.2GHz+ on LN2

I've long wanted to nail all of the top scores with the most popular LGA775 and 1366 CPUs. On X58 the hardest ones remaining have been the extreme variants of the Bloomfield CPUs, aka Core i7 Extreme 975 and 965 and obviously the Gulftown 980X. I was able to buy two preselected 975 CPUs from Gigelz as he is pretty much quitting the overclocking scene at least for now, and they were the same batch as the legendary Stummerwinter CPU.
Both of the chips did over 4.7GHz WPrime 32M on water cooling at 1.36v, so it was only the question about cold scaling on LN2. I started with the better one and in the end, it was able to crown itself as the fastest Bloomfield CPU that ever existed. Over 6.2GHz validation, as well as multicore benchmarks above 5.8GHz. There is some headroom remaining, as I am sure the CPU can run Super PI 32M even above 6GHz.
This is certainly the hardest one of them all to break the top scores with. So now the remaining models are the Core i7 Extreme 965 and i7 950. I am still looking a better 980X as that one would be absolutely epic as well, as motherboard vendors invested a lot in 980X results.

Amazing work as always! Will be back to play again when I get a Rampage III Extreme to replace my dead RIIIBE, I want my 950 1m and 32m back ;)

Congrats Luumi!!!!

Congratulations! Well deserved. I'd like to know how far you could push them, but sadly there won't be a reason to publish results for a long time

Congrats buddy!

"Both of the chips did over 4.7GHz WPrime 32M on water cooling at 1.36v" - wh00000000t? Crazy!

The best!

Awesome session! You really lucked out with that CPU, but also knew exactly how to make the most of it. Loved the censored swearing - we've all been there. :D

I think I can still remember from other of your videos that you were keen on these CPUs and wanted to buy them, even exchange them for a loan, or commented on something about them in your previous videos. or something like that, just said from memory. Or was it a model over 950, I don't know exactly. I just remembered the topic. Well, always looking for the best results from the CPUs, I had fun watching it. After a long time, with respect, what it takes. I haven't bought a PC for almost 2 years now. Rampage III has me still captivated. Cool Asus tools. Once again mastered well. I'm out. Keep it up. All the best.

This CPU is rare ? Some is selling it for 17 usd in my local market .. there is 20 of them ( after deep dive it is chinese reseller )

[@ionstorm66]

They have to be made in a certain few months to be good for XOC.

[@vincentschumann937]

the cpu has a "production id" wich says in wich production run at wich fab it was made, there can be huge differences between chips of the same model just by being made a week later
