23 January 2007 By: Bogdan Solca, Hardware Editor Intel CPU Overclocked at 8GHz! Extreme overclocking techniques from Italy OC Team Italy announced that it managed to unpack a Pentium 4 631 CPU and overclock it to a whooping 7520 Mhz, back on January 10th 2007. This risky procedure required some liquid nitrogen cooling, as well as a non-modified ASUS P5B motherboard. The Italia pointed out that the motherboard made it clear that it cannot go above this core frequency. The guys got impressive feedback from the overclocke’ community and thought they could break the 8GHz barrier. Thus, they have once again mounted the copper cooling pipe, tuned up the necessary voltage settings and poured a fresh supply of liquid nitrogen. The result? An outstanding 8001MHz core clock reported by CPU-Z. For the fit attempt, OC Team Italy also used a 1, 7 core voltage (1,6 real voltage with an steep drop), 2×1Gb Cellshock PC8000 memory kit and a 1Kw power supply
