I might have to buy a decent router just for this challenge if I had the money :< I have a few nice huge copper heat sinks I could put in them.

I doubt any router you can buy will beat the clock I managed on this nice ivy bridge chip with the water loop.
But hell if anyone can prove me wrong it'll be you.

Intel I-7 3770K - 3.5GHz, 8MB Cache (OC'ed to 4.9ghz/1.39v core with IHS Mod)

I had to down clock cause I sold the loop to a nub and just settled with a stock on the h100.
don't really need that much power nor is it worth killing the hip for imo.

I was joking like. Even if I buy a newer router with a dual core chip I doubt I'd be able to push it past 1ghz.

All my routers I currently own would be maybe 300mhz->500mhz if I rigged up some hacker active cooling to it.

I know but I got to call you out on your bullshit.
Not often that happens around here so let me have this victory.

Fine lol. I am going to try this though. Might pick up a router off craigslist or something and flash it and see what I can do. My only spare routers atm is this shitty netgear which I don't think I can flash, and a TP-Link MS3020 which I don't want to destroy. My linksys wrt54g, dlink dir-835, and TP-Link wr703n are all in use atm.

I'll also put in some blue cold cathods. Get an extra 20mhz OC on it.

I overclocked my IB 3770K to 5.1GHz. Big deal. You can't do anything with it.

That is with the IHS on and it took like 1.65V or so. Terribly unstable. Hahaha

I think the whole point is a stable over clock.
1.65v you say hmmm. something tells me your mixing ram with vcore.

why don't you create a router instead from scratch >.>
and make the case have a duck logo on it :3
cuz mighty duck
