Core 2 Extreme X6800 is still Intel's flagship on the processor market and even if Core 2 Extreme QX6700 will be launched very soon, X6800 is still a very powerful processor. Numerous records have been broken and even further improved using Intel's flagship. A number of those have been performed here at NH through Kinc and crotale's magic fingers and many are still using X6800 and pushing it to its limits. The most successful overclocker at the moment is certainly OnePageBook, OPB, which has set a number of frequency and SuperPi world records. Now he has once again improved his own world records of all SuperPi benchmarks; 1M, 8M and 32M. To finish it all off he pushed he became the first person ever to push a Core 2 Duo over 5.7GHz, thus a world record.
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.
