Tom's Hardware and Team Set World Overclocking Record: 5112 Mhz

"On Saturday February 23, members of the Jmax-Hardware, Tom's Hardware, and Tom's Guide forums met in the offices of Bestofmedia. They had come to try to set a new world record for overclocking. And they succeeded. The team consisted of 13 members: six from Jmax-Hardware, four from the Tom's Hardware forums, and three members of the Tom's Guide forums. The hardware used to set the record consisted of four test platforms; three using a liquid-nitrogen cooling system and one with a compressor-based (DoD or Direct-on-Die) cooling system."
A picture is worth a thousand words: and that's one fast computer! That's the same CPU I used in this article, and sheesh, I couldn't get it past 2.83 Ghz. Guess I needed some liquid-nitrogen cooling...
