Core 2 taken to 5.7GHz

[s18000rpm]

"Core 2 has definitely turned a lot of heads and changed a lot of minds. We were expecting a comeback from Intel after the X2 trounced the dual core Pentiums again and again, and Core 2 delivered. It shows even more promise, which the enthusiast community is helping to demonstrate. Recently, the Core 2 Extreme was taken to an amazing 5.7GHz using LNG cooling, nearly double the processors stock clock speed:

The processor, was of course, a X6800 while the motherboard was an ASUS P5W64. Using liquid nitrogen OPB managed to push his X6800 processor to over 5.7GHz from the stock frequency of 2.93GHz, close to a 100% overclock."
