The base model of Intel's upcoming Core i5 600 series based on Clarkdale, the Core i5 650, clocked at 3.2 Ghz and priced at $176, has been overclocked to a dizzying 4.7 GHz on air. The test was done on a Gigabyte P55 motherboard, cooled by Noctua NH-U12P in tandem with Coolink 120mm fan. The final result stood at 4.70 GHz (25x188). It is worth noting that the CPU overclocked was an engineering sample which had an unlocked multiplier. The actual multiplier is 24 - but even this would return 4.5 GHz, not a shabby result by any means. More next page.
