Yeah, good luck with having a stable system 24/7 with that clock.
I always laugh at these kind of "records".
This is like making a size 12 shoes for someone who has size 10....pretty pointless.
What's the point of laughing at people testing the limits? It's in human nature, even if it doesn't produce tangible benefits. This isn't much different from building a 2000 horsepower car for drag racing. You do it because you can, and because it's fun.

No one has asked you to read it.
On topic, no one will remember this "awesome clock" on CPU crippled in half two days from now. If someone could achive to run that beast on similar clock with all cores enabled that will be something to remember. Until then I don't give a damn about useless OC records like this.
so much hate, but hey your post was readable this time
