Overclocking Intel's New 45nm QX9650
Apparently overclocking CPUs just got more complicated. Either that, or I didn't read the entire article in full detail.

There are some interesting algorithms being thrown around, as well as them achieving 4.6ghz on water cooling alone.


I recommend reading all of these pages because the amount of information they hand out is awesome. This will surely come in handy for people upgrading in the future.

You'll notice the power consumption goes up a lot, but for these speeds, I wouldn't mind dishing out the extra power.
