Yes it can be done

Check it out.

Here is another related video at 6.5GHz OC...

There have been higher frequencies, but, it isn't just frequency alone that helps.

I just thought it was neat that it could be done with liquid nitrogen.... before you know it, liquid N will be the norm

Now the 8Ghz, that is a new one, jesus friggen christ..... Is that a new world record? Last I could remember was ~7.0Ghz.

Hate to be the fly in the ointment here... But is there a video with that? Any Joe Schmo can copy and paste into a CPU-Z screen and post it on a blog.

it wasn't just a random post someone made, at the time it was considered a historical achievement, and made the tech news front pages.

i tried to find it in the cpu-z database, but they only have current records listed. this isn't the same one, but it's from the same team, team italy, using the same cpu which reached even higher clocks.

it's not just a bunch of bs .
