I install and run the AI Benchmark to measure machine learning performance on Windows Native and Windows Subsystem for Linux. Introduction Over the past two years, I’ve consistently included the AI Benchmark in almost all SkatterBencher overclocking guides. My first use of this benchmark was

We overclock the Intel Xeon w7-3465X up to 5100 MHz with the ASUS Pro WS W790E-Sage SE motherboard and EK-Pro water cooling. We’ll do this by individually adjusting each P-core’s maximum allowed Turbo Ratio and core voltage. I’ll also cover more broadly the basics of Sapphire

3586 MHZ Intel Alchemist with Liquid Nitrogen

The world’s fastest Intel Alchemist GPU runs at 3586 MHz with the help of liquid nitrogen and the ElmorLabs EVC2. I also take P1 on all the available 3DMarks and will share all the tricks you need to know for a successful Intel Arc LN2 session. Let’s jump in! Alchemist XOC

SkatterBencher #64: Intel Arc A770 Overclocked to 2795 MHz

We overclock the Intel Arc A770 up to 2795 MHz with the ElmorLabs EVC2 and EK-Quantum custom loop water cooling. I looked at the Arc A380 in a previous video, and with the knowledge from that project, I could more easily pursue overclocking the Arc A770. The good news is that – I think –

2 Phases 1 Raptor Lake

I’m demonstrating all you need to run a 13700K Raptor Lake CPU to its limit are two water-cooled VRM phases. You can see the Z690 Torpedo EK X motherboard with all but two CPU Vcore phases disabled. We’re running Prime95 on a Core i7-13700K with all P-cores and E-cores enabled and Turbo

We overclock the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D up to 5400 MHz with the ASUS ROG Crosshair X670E Hero motherboard and EK-Quantum water cooling. In an ironic twist of events, I find that the direct successor of the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, this Ryzen 7 7800X3D, is the most tunable X3D processor yet. I actually

SkatterBencher #59: Intel Xeon w7-2495X Overclocked to 5200 MHz

We overclock the Intel Xeon w7-2495X up to 5200 MHz with the ASUS Pro WS W790-Ace motherboard and EK-Pro water cooling. This is my first look at the new Sapphire Rapids architecture, and I didn’t yet get to take a deep dive into the CPU. So I would consider this more of a layman’s

We overclock the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D up to 5789 MHz with the GIGABYTE B650I Aorus Ultra motherboard and EK-Quantum water cooling. I picked this motherboard to check the X3D overclocking experience on a more mainstream offering. Also, I really like compact mini ITX solutions. Unlike the first-gen
