Core i7 9700K Overclocked to 5.30 GHz On Air Cooling (all cores)
You know that 8 cores / 8 threaded Core i7 9700K we mentioned yesterday? Well, it has been overclocked, and the fun news is that a mere simple looking heat pipe cooler was used to do so. The photos are a bit blurry but do tell a tale.
So basically this was posted at Expreview and an unknown guy (at least to us) was able to test the part, as mentioned on air-cooling. that 5300 Mhz he achieved was on all cores, and on-air that is something impressive alright. Like I stated, the photos are horrible as they are grabs from a 10-second video, but the key details can be seen, the model Core i7-9700K, it is an ES version of the CPU with a P0 stepping, 8 core 8 threads, 12MB L3 cache, 3.6GHz base frequency.
In the 10 seconds of video, you can see that he overclocked to 5.3GHz. It is 1.215V, close to the default voltage of Core i7-8700K. previous leaks already mentioned a possible 5500 MHz on liquid cooling. These are of course ES aka 'magic' vanilla samples, spread toa few overclockers by Intel to create a bit of viral activity.
Have a peek.

SB was revolutionary not just because of its OCing capabilities, but it was also had great performance-per-clock and was well-built. It was all-around a great product. The 9700K obviously offers impressive performance, but the IPC per core hasn't really improved much.
I was too young at the time to remember or understand any of that, though my family once owned one of these. However, I had the same reaction when ARM CPUs were released with active cooling. Though, a little bit of me was like "this isn't really next gen, this is just struggling to keep up..."
Against all odds, can it be this is the next Sandy Bridge? One can only hope.

Higher clocks are the only real advantage Intel has over AMD now that their IPC has stagnated and even regressed because the Meltdown and Spectre patches. Still i wouldn´t mind having one of those speed devils but not at the expense of having to buy another MB...

did you not notice "air cooling"?
so the temps are well in hand, except for those in the lost quarter, the outback, mojave desert, Malaysia, and Saudi
The 'key detail' is the temperature which is missing. :p But that 1.215V is impressive.

LOL, oh yeah it felt like my PC had it's side panel off on alternate months for some upgrade or another
All your hardware was hopelessly obsoleted every 2 years. Including consoles. Good times. :p

With out a doubt in my mind I am sure 5.3 Ghz is not running on 1.215V. This is probably the VID which wouldn't be accurate to what is being supplied. This is what the CPU wants for voltage at the current situation of the screenshot. This is not what is likely being supplied by the motherboard. Nonetheless, this is still an impressive result. I don't really expect this processor to OC much or any better than 8600K but that still is impressive for the 8 core to hit even near that. I hope the 9900K commonly hits at least 5.0Ghz+

I did post a leak weeks ago where i saw a UK based etailer post PRE-Binned 9900 9700 @ 5.4 but there was no other details.
So like usual it will be a silicon lottery unless you buy pre-binned chips. Usually they cost about 50-100 £ more.

if "we" are looking at this as most other leaks are "treated" here, this should come with an uncut video of showing the cpu info of the HS until its installed and booted up then benched.
outside that, it just shows "some" cpu info/pic..

I agree. I hope this is for real. I have a feeling it is not. =/

Yes me too, my first cpu was 16.6 with the turbo. lol
Should do 5ghz nicely then. Damn i remember when cpus hit 3ghz the first time :O

I remember when they hit 100MHz the first time. My mind was blown. "Wow, these things need cooling? Wtf? This is really next gen."
No, sorry, correction: "This is really rad." We used "rad" back then.
Yep. My first PC was a 486 dx2-66mhz. It had a little heatsink like this:

My brothers was P1 100Mhz with small heat-sink w/o thermal past lol.

Found another demo of the 9700k on utube.
Listen to it as you read the reviews. Classic!

Dude...you´re old. I dont remember that, i wasnt even born. But really 5ghz is a nice accomplishment.
