Armed with the ASUS ROG Rampage II Extreme motherboard that supports the newest Intel platform, Japanese overclocker \u2018duck\u2019 has soared to the top of the overclocking charts and scored a world record for Core i7 CPU frequencies. Duck managed to record an exceptional score of 5510.09MHz \u2013 setting the challenge for future contenders in a bid for the throne. A veteran of overclocking CPUs, duck still holds the world\u2019s highest frequency for overclocking a Pentium 4 631 CPU to a staggering 8180.4MHz last year.<\/p>\n<p>Overclocking-oriented features on the new ASUS Rampage II Extreme motherboard played a major part in the successful breaking of the world record. TweakIt, an easy-to-use joystick-like control on the motherboard enables overclockers to make real-time changes to their system\u2019s core frequency, voltage and other parameters \u2013 even while the benchmark utility is running. At no point does software come into play, as the tweaking is completely hardware-based. With such hassle-free tweaking, coupled with system frequency information relayed to overclockers in real-time via the LCD Poster, changes can be on-the-fly during CPU tests resulting in extraordinary benchmark scores.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Republic of Gamers (ROG) Rampage II Extreme motherboard from ASUS, has broken the Core i7 CPU world record at 5510.09MHz.
