Skylake Sample Reported to Hit 5.2GHz on Air Cooling

[WYP]

An Intel Skylake CPU has been reported to Hit 5.2GHz on Air Cooling at 1.35v. Has the Overclocking Golden Age returned?

Read more on Skylake's reported 5.2GHz overclock on air cooling at 1.35v here.

I saw this yesterday and it sounds really promising. Source isn't the most reliable though and a screenshot is so easy to photoshop.

If these are this good IF it's true then I'm really looking forward to the refreshes/refined version, Kabylake next summer

What kind of beast is this?!

Here is a more legit image

This shot is clearly shopped.. 4 Cores 8 Threads......... the 8 is not even in the field correctly, you'd have thought that someone trying to fake something would get it right. Tut tut.

EDIT: You just knew I was going to zoom and shizzle, it's been played with.

That same site clocked one to 6.5GHz at a whopping 2+ volts.

Both cpu-z validated... How can they be validated if fake, serious question mates.

CPU-Z can be "Hacked" though can't it ?

Honestly, I don't know. Can it?

 

[W1tness]

Sandy/Ivy-Bridge part II?

GPU-Z can as we have the ability to change values by way of bios flashing, just not with CPUs, and trying to change CPU values is pretty much impossible as it uses real time drivers to register the info.

Oh and here's that Kaby Lake you're waiting for :lol:

Before people start sharing and saying "confirmed" or "Leak" it is a FAKE image.

They say the next gen CPUs can always be clocked at 5ghz on air.. they did with Devil's Canyon.. Wasn't really true.

Good point...

How did they manage this then, again:

Both of those images have the "threads" number 8 slightly off to the left, hence fake. As Wraith pointed out in an earlier post.

The first link if actually true, isn't running on air. It's reported temp is -1C.. Ya that's LN2 or phase change

2nd is valid but not published so can't see it

Because those are fake websites official CPU-Z validations have CanardPC in the address.

I am an idiot! Thanks for clearing this up lads.

No worries dude, I have zero idea what anyone hopes to achieve by trying to fake these results and shame on WCCF for sharing them and not spotting them as fake.

 

[Warchild]

well 5.2ghz and showing 0.8 volts. insta skepticism here.

Mmmm yeah, and the -1c temp... LN2?
