Just using water cooling.
A Polish end-user by the nickname of MILANS has taken his AMD Phenom X4 9850 processor and overclocked it all the way to 3710MHz.
A report states that Pawe³ Milanowski (aka MILANS) only needed the aid of water cooling to take the factory clocked 2.5GHz all the way up to a world record speed of 3.71GHz, which is 212MHz bus speed x 17.5 multiplier.
He used a DFI LANPARTY DK 790FX motherboard with the CPU core voltage set to 1.48V.
