Intel Core i5-670 overclocked to 7.002 GHz with liquid Nitrogen
The Core i5-670 Clarkdale, which is produced in a 32 nanometer process, has exceeded the 7 GHz limit in another overclocking record attempt. But more than a CPU-Z validation has not been possible, yet.

Just in time for the official launch of the new Intel Clarkdale CPs a new overclocking attempt delivered the anticipated results. Nickshih from xtremesystems.org, who already reached 6.92 Ghz in a previous attempt, now was able to get a CPU-Z validation of a Core i5-670 running at 7,002 MHz (Bus speed: 259 MHz, multiplier 27). In our picture gallery you can find a screenshot of the validation. With this frequency the Clarkdale CPU is running at more or less twice speed it is actually shipped with by Intel.
As a test platform Nickshih used a Evga P55 FTW 200 motherboard, Kingston memory (2 Gibyte DDR3, CL8, 778 MHz) and a Antec power supply unit TP1200W. The CPU has been cooled with liquid nitrogen to reach temperatures low enough. The overclocker's next target is to exceed 7.2 GHz.
