    I have seen the AMD Phenom 6.5GHz on a liquid helium and liquid nitrogen cooled system at a temp. of -232 degrees celcius. It had a finishing score 45,474 3DMarks wen all the tests were complete. The Intel i7 965 Extreme has been reported to have held a stable 4.78GHz on a liquid cooled set up and stay strong at 4GHz on nice overclocked setup on the bios. Overclocking just boils down to how much energy, time, and money you are wanting to spend on the system. Honestly, on a server motherboard, you can reach some pretty incredible speeds with very little tweaking to be put into it. My friend's system that i just built for her runs at a steady 3.8 - 4.0GHz ona simple liquid set-up.

    The phenom guys are hitting 4.0ghz/ea core pretty easily. Especially the black edition phenom IIs with the unlocked multiplier.

    That's what I'm running on a asus m3a32 board and I think that my SB is holding me back, and all of my OC are on Air.

    If its 1066 ram you have to set it in the bios sometimes and I'm running a set up similar and i had it stable at 3.9 and with the antec nine hundred my temps went down

    Yep its 1066, g.skill ram. I have read about having to tweak the setting to run at 1066. Im going to grab an antec 300 from microcenter, i like the bottom mount PSU and airflow of the case (and that its simple, i dont like neons and windows)

    on most you have to set the ram voltage to 2.1 or 2.2 and then set the ram speed to 1067 and then you can set your timming

    Got the system online last night, i had to manually set the ram Speed, voltage to 2.0v and set the timings. Im a little dissappointed the 4th core on my 720 is dead though LOL. It was from the 0904 batch but i knew it was a gamble.
