Overclocker Breaks 12-Year-Old Cinebench R11.5 Record with Intel Core i5 4670K
Key points
- Luumi set a new Cinebench R11.5 record for the i5 4670K.
- The score was 10.8 cb, breaking a 12-year-old record.
- An Intel Core i5 4670K CPU was overclocked to 6.3 GHz.
- Liquid nitrogen cooling and an ASRock Z97 OC Formula motherboard were used.
New Overclocking Milestone Achieved
Overclocker Luumi has successfully broken a 12-year-old world record on HWBot for the Intel Core i5 4670K processor in the Cinebench R11.5 benchmark. The new multicore score achieved was 10.8 cb, surpassing the previous record for this specific CPU model.
Hardware Configuration
The record-breaking system featured an Intel Core i5 4670K, a Haswell-era CPU with 4 cores and 4 threads, running at a stock base clock of 3.4 GHz and boost of 3.8 GHz. This processor was mounted on an ASRock Z97 OC Formula motherboard, paired with 4GB of XPG DDR3 RAM, and powered by a Corsair AXi 1600 PSU.
To reach the record-setting performance, the Core i5 4670K was cooled using liquid nitrogen, allowing it to operate at a validated frequency of 6,301.00 MHz during the benchmark run. The operating system used for testing was Windows 7 64-bit Pro.
Significance of the Achievement
This achievement highlights the potential for performance gains even with older hardware through extreme overclocking. While not a record for all quad-core processors, it demonstrates continued interest and capability within the overclocking community to push the limits of specific, older components. It also shows that high-end, current-generation hardware is not always a prerequisite for competitive overclocking recognition.
