Jul31	5.15 GHz World Record - Neah, 8,18 GHz - Yeah Alex Ion July 31, 2008 Know More: Technology Looking at my 1.5GHz Centrino Mobile processor in that laptop case I really feel little knowing that a bunch of guys from Tom's Hardware managed to overclock a 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Quad 6600 to 5.1GHz using a cryogenic cooling system. Apparently they're claiming world record, but sadly I'm gonna have to break it for them. The OC team in Italy managed to overclock an Intel Pentium 4 631 up to 8.18 GHz (173-percent overclock). I'm pretty sure such a system can only work stable somewhere in Antarctica so until I get to move there, I'll have to work on my laptop. [Via PC World] Posted at 8:21 PM \| Permalink \| Comments
