Core i7 Extreme Overclocking with LN2
SuperPi and wPrime
SuperPI Mod 1.5 is a single threaded, overclocking benchmark that calculates Pi to a specific number of digits after the decimal point. It is used by many overclockers to test performance and stability of their systems.

SuperPI at 5GHz feels rather snappy... 
Lower Times + Higher Performance
With
the Core i7 975 clocked to 5GHz, we finished SuperPI 1M in an
impressive 8.235 seconds. That's a full 4 seconds faster than our stock
clocked 975 ran and a 50% speed increase.

The CPU benchmarking application, wPrime, is designed to use a highly multithreaded approach to calculating the square roots of large amounts of numbers. It places a 100% load on the CPU while in use.

wPrime at 4.9GHz (click image for high res)
The
great thing about wPrime is the fact that it makes use of all 8 threads the Core i7 offers. With the 975 at 4.92GHz, we finished the 32M
calculation at a blazing 5.029 seconds.
