AltecV11.8 volts on a wolfdale:laugh: it died after 20 minuts

btarunrYet another speed record has been set for the Pentium Dual-Core E6500K processor, past a recently achieved record of 5 GHz. An overclocker with the Expreview forum name DFORDOG achieved 6 GHz using a liquid cooled setup. Details of the feat include 6.004 GHz (17.0 x 353.2 MHz), vCore of 1.8V, and a resulting FSB speed of 1412 MHz. To seat the E6500K was a Biostar TP45 HP motherboard and 2x 1 GB of GeIL DDR2 memory. The CPU was cooled by a K|ngp|n F1 liquid nitrogen evaporator. Its validation can be found here. Pentium E6500K is a limited-edition SKU based on the Wolfdale-2M core, with an unlocked bus multiplier. For now it's nowhere to be found outside China, and shows no clear signs of doing so either.

happitaI've seen quads under the same LN2 setups achieve around that clock speed. Aren't dual-cores supposed to clock better than quads?

PauliegHere's my question. What's it capable of on air/water w/reasonable vcore? I'm guessing that's what's most important to your average enthusiast.

JrRacinFanI am going to guess of between 4.2-4.5Ghz in a strong chip on air. 3.6-3.8Ghz in a dud chip on water.

thezorrocore 2 is end of life, intel should dump it, and focus on the new platforms.
anyway core 2 can not be improved.
my two cents

swaayeStill slaps around AMD's funny little K10 architecture though! ;)

Assassin48:confused::confused:

guessing the gpus were on water?

newtekie1LN2 technically is a liquid...so it was correct originally.
