    Is that with your E6600? I've seen it been done before with LN and phase changing coolers, it looks like those Conroes can almost go as high as Pentium 4s, one of these days someone is probably going to reach 7ghz.

    I don’t like to be a naysayer but that looks fake to me. The text doesn’t look right (wrong type of font) for a start and both the brand ID and the Voltage are greyed out which is suspicious to say the least.

    If it is genuine then well done to who ever achieved it.

    It's possible, I think the recourd was 5.2ghz on a X6800, so a E6600 at 5ghz is possible with some extreme cooling.
