Intel has pushed Westmere to 3.46 GHz with the Intel Core i7-990X. This is just peanuts compared to their highest factory clocked processor ever, Intel Xeon X5698. Intel's new server chip operates at 4.4 GHz out of the box. Apparently its being sold behind close doors to OEMs. Scaly fuckers wouldn't mind getting my hands on one of them

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

I've always enjoyed pushing my clocks beyond the the default, I bet one of those would be an overclockers disappointment. But who knows how far they go when cherry pickin'.
That CPU is the highest-stock-clocked CPU ever manufactured by Intel. Unfortunately, the enthusiasm is diminished because that CPU has only one core enabled.
