It’s time for lunch, so the world overclocking record will just have to wait. The size of the order won brownie points with a well-known fast-food chain. |

ohh my god how he could do that in the picture 11
its insane
Congrats Tom, a 5Ghz Q6600! Next step : Sponsorship from McDonald's
Nice job of hitting 5+GHz! While it is usually customary to go into huge amounts of detail when reporting a LN2 'dyno run', there is very little information and a couple too many shots of beaming tech-heads and them eating at Macca's, and general uninformative detail in system photos. Given that this is a 'world record', it was quite unspectacular.
Give the camera to that balding dude next time!
WTG Toms!
That is a hell of an overclock!
ok so how many more pages do i have to skim trough to know the actual record?
wow dats impressive, kinda a waste of time n money bt stil its fun
Bt y use a P35 board wouldnt an X48 have been beter?
Damn that's impressive. I wish it had any real world application though.
Very impressive guys. Grats!
Best,

So what was the record, highest Q6600 clockspeed?
holy ****.
Why is the CPU-Z showing only 2 cores and 2 threads?? Were the other 2 cores disabled?? If so, its not REALLY valid right?"
Of course it's a non-USA Tom's...
I hope this isn't a double post first off. They were all kids?? I should have been invited. I could have beat that score. I would love to become a hardware tester for companies.
I would think that E7200 would beat Q6600 in overclock (if just GHz matters).
Wonder how fast you could shrink a 2 hour dvd with that !
All that and no benchmarks............sigh...............
A full spec set (ie. RAM,etc) would also have been useful. One fact to note was that the motherboard was based on the P35 chipset.
Ummm, that isnt a Q6600 anymore once you deactivate half the cores. Its just a core 2 duo now, the real World Record needs to have cores 2 and 3 functioning... since they are less stable.
Well, since they were there and setup already it would have been nice if they tested a processor that was actually nice, like a 45nm dual-core part. Less complexity, an extreme edition that was bin sorted, and smaller fab might have resulted in a higher clock. Not that going from 2.4 to 5.1 on a quad isn't impressive in and of itself, it is, but since everyone was already dressed up you might as well do the full party.
Wow... Will be interesting to know what kind of benchies that will get.
Good article
