HiCookie smashes Core i7 3930X world records on GIGABYTE X79-UD3

Yesterday our resident overclocking guru HiCookie took his Intel Core i7 3930X CPU, a X79-UD3 armed with our new F7 BIOS release, copious amounts of LN2 and set down to some serious overclocking action. The resulting world records were soon posted on HWBot. Another day, another line drawn in the sands of high-performance computing. Pushing a CPU core frequency of 5643.3 MHz, related records for SuperPi and PiFast were unceremoniously smashed.

Catch the video below for a front row seat.
