This is the Only Intel i7 940 I Ever Tried - 5.2GHz Overclock on LN2

Intel Core i7 940 was definitely one of the more rare Bloomfield CPU models for the X58 platform, as it kinda fell in between the Core i7 930 and 950. It is based on the older C0/C1 stepping of the Bloomfield architecture, so expect much lower frequencies compared to the newer D0 stepping models. Some of C1 stepping CPUs can actually overclock surprisingly well at least on water cooling.

The target was relatively low on LN2, only like 4.9-5.1GHz, and this CPU was better than what I expected. 5.2GHz validation and all of the important top scores in those benchmarks that were popular back in the day. I could improve my Super PI 32M result for sure, but even this result I just got is already pretty interesting.

From here, the quest for even better Core i7 950 and 980X CPUs continues and for the remaining X58 CPU Core i7 models I haven't really pushed to the max yet.
