There is a screenshot from Canard PC floating around the internet today supposedly showing a Core i7-3770k running a 7.06GHz but for the life of me, I can't track down the original image. Here's what I found at EXPreview:

Core i7-3770K was overclocked to 7.06GHz from 3.5GHz in liquid nitrogen condition. At that time, the multiplier was 63x, external frequency was 112.11MHz at the voltage of 1.889V. Most importantly, no core was disabled and hyperthreading was on.

Another web site's quote said dry ice. This one says liquid nitrogen. Which is it?

1.889 volts is absurd considering the maximum safe voltage will decrease from SB. This is just another for fun like that extreme Bulldozer overclock,.

It may be over the max safe voltage, but that bulldozer OC was with cores disabled. This is with the thing fully operational. If it's running on liquid nitrogen or dry ice, it's obviously not "practical" but it's still a better result without requiring 3/4 of the CPU disabled.
 
So, 2600k - 5.0Ghz @ Air, 6.0Ghz @ LN2

3770k - 7.0Ghz @ LN2.. 6.0Ghz @ Air..?

I doubt it.
 
stopped caring after that 8.5 Faildozer record. not talking about a 24/7 stable OC only, give some pcmark, super pi.. etc
I sure hope so but doubt IB average OC under air will reach 5.5 because that speed will compensate the additional 2 cores in SB-E and make it look bad even in encoding/rendering

Very impressive, but I'm going for a 3930 next, hopefully it does better than this thing. :)
