Rog overclockers meet breaks six world records in one week

Last week ASUS brought together several celebrity names from the world of professional overclocking to test new ASUS ROG hardware benchmarks. For the first few days, 12 and Smoke from the TeamRU team, Hazzan, Piwor and ROG team professionals Andre Yang and Shamino used the ROG Maximus V Extreme Intel® LGA 1155 / Z77 motherboards, the Intel® Core ™ i7- processor. 3770K and copious amounts of helium and liquid nitrogen to pulverize records in four processor categories: 7.1843 GHz in CPU clock speed, 5.094 seconds in SuperPi 1M, 4 minutes 43 seconds in SuperPi 32M and 10.16 seconds in PiFast.

But such achievements seemed not enough for Master Andre Yang and TeamRU team 12 and Smoke members, so over the next few days, they worked together to set the following records: 109 seconds in wPrime 1024M and 556 303 marks in AquaMark 3.

Hardware

The central piece of hardware used during the meeting was the ROG Maximus V Extreme Intel® LGA 1155 / Z77 motherboard. This motherboard features OC Key hardware based performance tuning feature; Subzero Sense, which allows obtaining cryogenetic temperature readings and the VGA Hotwire tool for graphics overvoltage at the hardware level. Since its launch, the Maximus V Extreme has been considered the main reference for overclockers , a position that will be strengthened by this latest batch of records.

World Record wPrime 1024M multi-threaded quad-core benchmark

Andre Yang's work alongside members 12 and Smoke of the TeamRU team resulted in 109 seconds with 937 ms in this challenge for the processor. For this purpose, the team used G.Skill memory modules, had to accelerate the processor to 6, 617 GHz and cool it with liquid nitrogen. The OC Key accessory for monitoring and adjusting the system at the hardware level was a key complement to achieve the record.

AquaMark 3 GPU World Record

The TeamRU team still had enough time to reach 556 303 marks in the popular Guru3D graphical stress test. The new record far exceeds the previous mark with a difference of 17 945 marks. To meet the challenge, TeamRU employed an ASUS HD 7970 GHz Edition graphics with a 1600 MHz accelerated core and 1850 MHz GDDR5 memory, all at the mercy of generous doses of liquid nitrogen. The processor reached a speed of 6, 851GHz and the VGA Hotwire and Subzero Sense technologies were basic to destroy the previous record in such a way.

The world of overclocking does not stop

ASUS ROG wants to thank all the participants for their tireless effort. Since the overclocking universe is an inherent part of ASUS ROG product culture and design, we have additional events planned during which new milestones are likely to be reached. We will keep you informed.
