ASUS Rampage II Extreme motherboard, Intel's Core i7 965 EE processor, a duo of ASUS Radeon HD 4870 X2 graphics cards, a 1,200W Thermaltake power supply, and 3GB of Corsair's prototype thermo-electrically cooled 1,866MHz DDR3 DOMINATOR memory.

Hexus overclocked the 3.2GHz part to a whopping 5.2GHz

Wow. Very interesting read. Thanks for bringing it out. I don't know if AMD processors can come close to this. BTW, the pic of the rig was really cool. :-D

It's not just about breaking benchmark records, I hope Intel come up with a Nehalem for those on a budget.

Whoa, an previous high was 4.5Ghz

Posted this in Official Overclockers too

5.2ghz is just awesome. Nothing can stop intel unless amd come out with something better.
