    Default AMD Phenom II X4 955 Overclocked to 7.1 GHz

    A group called LimitTeam managed to overclock AMD's Phenom II X4 955 processor and reach a record speed od 7.1 GHz.
    This is amazing. The last known clock speed that I was aware of was close to 5Ghz.

    I still think that is pointless. They should make a overclocking championship where you overclock processor and then give it to a gamer or play some games for week or so and then see how it will perform.

    Would be interesting to see if it could stay at that speed without failing... When they overclock do they just see if the processor boots and enters windows or linux, or do they actually bench it at that speed...
