A few hours ago, information about a new Intel overclocking record appeared on the Internet. Ukrainian enthusiast, overclocker and technomaniac, known in the network under the nickname TiN, managed to set a new record for overclocking processors in terms of clock frequency. Team member
XtremeLabs.org was able to overclock the Intel Celeron 347 processor (3.06 GHz) to a frequency of 8199.5 MHz.
On behalf of the Russian team
OCClub.ru, I congratulate my Ukrainian colleague with success. And you, dear habra-readers, I invite you to get acquainted with the details and photos.

processor: Intel Celeron 347
cooling: a glass for liquid nitrogen MAGNUM LE proizvodstva

Motherboard: DFI LANparty UT P35-T2R
RAM: 1Gb DDR2 OCZ PC6400
power supply: Enermax Revolution 1250W
There are no details about the other components of the system.
As can be seen from the available images, this result was achieved thanks to the removal of the processor heat diffuser cover. This allowed the crystal to be directly cooled. The temperature at which the result was shot was -186 degrees Celsius! The voltage on the processor was raised to crazy 2.15 V. And the motherboard of the company DFI has undergone various modifications that allowed to achieve such a high result.
The previous overclocking record, according to
HWBot.org, belonged to the Taiwanese overclocker AndreYang and was 8182 MHz.
I would also like to explain the choice of processor for the record. Many people do not understand why the frankly outdated model was able to set the bar so high in frequency. But everything is simple - processors based on the CedarMill core respond very well to changes in temperature. And their proportionality from lowering the temperature to increasing the clock frequency is simply amazing. And due to the peculiarities of the architecture, these processors can operate at the boiling point of nitrogen (-196 degrees). Most processors lose their performance at temperatures below -100 degrees. This feature is called ColdBug. Choosing the right processor, motherboard in combination with straight hands and good knowledge in electrical engineering allowed me to achieve a world record. With which I congratulate the team
