A few weeks ago, Intel has released a new series of HEDT processors. Meanwhile K|ngp|n is testing the new flagship Intel Core i9-7980XE on 3DMark Time Spy Extreme. Thanks to a rather substantial overclock on the CPU as well as on the GPU and a very nicely overclocked memory he's been able to hit more than 7K points regarding the global score. We wouldn't be surprised if rather sooner than later a new record would be incoming from the master of 3DMark benchmarks himself.


In order to achieve this score, K|ngp|n is using an Intel X299 platform in the shape of an EVGA X299 Dark motherboard, an Intel Core i9-7980XE processor and G.Skill memory. The CPU has been overclocked to a whopping 5.24 GHz, while the memory was running at a massive 3'748 MHz CL 14-14-14-36. Compared to the stock frequencies that's a 30% overclock on the CPU. Furthermore the system has been equipped with an EVGA GTX 1080 TI KP that was running at a massive 2'657 MHz.

To make the whole setup run through the benchmark, the CPU as well as the GPU have to be cooled using liquid nitrogen. We congratulate Vince "K|ngp|n" Lucido to this awesome new result and we're hoping to see more soon. At the moment the result hasn't been uploaded on HWBot.
