Again I get it - woo! something functionally useless ran really fast for a very short time in an utterly unsustainable environment, and does not in any way represent how the equipment will or ever even COULD actually perform in the real world.
Like land speed testing a rocket car - yay it went fast - it's still completely useless...

You missed the point by a long shot.......if it can overclock like that where cooling isn't an issue, imagine what these things can do on a high end air/water setup........not to mention this is a $129.99 chip.....
