By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

An overclocking enthusiast named Luumi has set a new world record in the Cinebench R11.5 benchmark using an Intel Core i5 4670K processor. This record, which had stood for 12 years, was achieved by pushing the CPU to 6.3 GHz with the help of liquid nitrogen cooling. The system also utilized an ASRock Z97 OC Formula motherboard and DDR3 RAM, demonstrating that older hardware can still achieve remarkable performance feats. AI
