In this video, chew* posted 4515 MHz CPU-Z using an air cooler, 5217 MHz CPU-Z score using Dry Ice and 6405 MHz using Liquid Nitrogen.

Since today is the Intel Skulltrail day, we can see a lot of previews/reviews of this new dual four-core beast, otherwise known as Intel's pride and honor. But only one man went as far as 5.5GHz, Fugger from XtremeSystems.
With a little help from K|ngp|n's F1 cooling system, which is actually an LN2 pod, Fugger managed to push this beast's heart all the way up to...
