Overclocking AMD processor to 5 GHz

[Bring IT]

I am building the new desktop machine for myself and of course I am going to overclock this machine. Though I am having an AMD compatible motherboard which I guess does not have any need to change. But the processor needs to be changes at this time along with the nice one water cooling system. Can you guys suggest any AMD processor that can be overclocked stable at the 5 Ghz.

What counts is that although the tension is very high. I'm bit oblivious when it comes to overclocking, but from what I understand a higher voltage = more heat and more energy extracted from the power supply. With my computer, 4.2GHz or something to put seems to be a reasonable goal when overclocking or it may burn the whole thing down? And someone can help me do this? No party is burning, I mean overclocking. A moment to make clear, I know how to overclock I do not know accurately what principles to set without destroying my computer.

As an experiment, I find the whole thing irritating, but we must remember that such cooling measures even for hardcore overclockers do not necessarily come into question. World record or not, who gets his P4 3.2Ghz to 4.1Ghz to house, has probably already reached the top end ... And to all AMD fans ... do not cry, I'm sure the new AMD CPUs have a similar potential and perhaps for the home use (which is probably the most important) to overclock better than the Intel CPUs currently ...

A few years ago the thing was even slightly different, so every third application now needs 1Ghz, then not even one in ten. Exactly the same it is now with 4GHz...But anyway, as I said that was my opinion. Discussion thus ended. If you 4GHz daily use, please. Overclocking certainly makes a lot of people enjoy, me too, whether it is useful is just always the other question. And most importantly, whether the income or expenditure for this are justified, because if there are any.

The processor is not even on the market, yes, it does not even have an official name, since it is already overclocked diligently - and not too short! Quad Core Kentsfield is clocked at 2.66 GHz normally. cooled with liquid nitrogen to -180 ° Celsius, but also close to 5 GHz are in it. Well, interesting will be how far the majority of quad-core processors can overclock with air cooling, and whether all four cores running really stable.
