Intel Core i5 670 Cracks 6.9 GHz in CPU-Z

1/4/2010 by: Anshel Sag - Get more from this author


Tonight, the NDA for the Core i5 600 series had expired at 9PM PST and many review sites had released their reviews of the Clarkdale processor and GPU combination, including ourselves. Many sites including ours found this chip to be very overclockable on the CPU end of the chip. As a result, when the NDA expired for the reviews a few more details came out about the overclockability of these chips. The news came as a CPU-Z validation screen shot indicating an LN2 overclock from 3.47GHz up to 6.908 GHz just nearly missing the 200% overclock tickmark. In order to achieve these clocks, Thomas (Pt1t) from Belgium used an EVGA P55 FTW and an Nvidia 9800GT in addition to copious amounts of LN2.

As if these results were not enough, he also managed to achieve air overclocks of 5.4 GHz using a Biostar H55 motherboard.

These results, in addition to our review make us very excited to see what else may come of Intel’s 32nm process when it comes to overclockability.

toooooo expensive by: Anonymous on 1/17/2010
ONLY a Stupid man would buy it,it's way to expensive for a dual with HT,and extreme overclocking ?????? welll what the hell I distroyed 2 Intel with crazy overclocking so this is not a real world option,so lets Kill Intel buying a QUAD.
hmm by: Anonymous on 1/15/2010
so when do we get 5GHz on aircooling.. that would be much more useful.

Nice numbers, but its long past the era of good old cheap overclocking. Whoever buys the 670 for 300$, puts it in a 200$ mobo coupled with an 80$ cooler to hit above 4.5ghz, make a pic of it,post it to CPU-Z and feel proud, needs a nice clean lobotomy.
