Andre Yang, a civil engineer doing his PhD. in the US obtained a high-performing Core 2 Duo E8600 processor, he succeeded in overclocking this chip to a stellar 6.70 GHz clock-speed (FSB 672.16 x 10.0). The processor uses liquid-nitrogen (LN2) cooling and surprisingly this processor was overclocked on a motherboard with the Intel X48 chipset, the ASUS Rampage Extreme when previous record-holders across several recent processors made use of either the Intel P35 or P45-based motherboards. The validation page for this overclock can be reached here

1.8V on air, hell even a basic water loop is very ill advised. Try to keep your CPU below 1.45V for 24/7 usage.
You can go that high usually only on LN2, Dry Ice, or Phase safely. Even then its a risk!

Seeing as how you're eligible for a custom title, I think you should make that it: Professional part killer. :laugh:
Thanks guys. I'll keep it at 4GHz :)
