This was done on a PC with windows, not on a Mac. At this time, the only way to overclock intel processors is with windows apps. My question is...If you run Win on your Mac and OC, then boot in OSX, what happens? Will it be OCD still? Also, there is no need for such radical cooling. It is very delicate and can be costly. Watercooling is all that is needed. Someone needs to OC their Mactel and let us know how it goes.

I think everybody knew it was on a Mac. I just think people thought it would be cool and could maybe be done on a mini later on.
As for the radical cooling, if it goes right it can actually be pretty darn cheap and much more effective.
Of course, I'm not putting my 'puter in a batch of grease, so more power to ya!
I find it odd that Intel would underclock the Core Duos so much. I can see why Apple might have done it, but everyone else is selling them at the same speeds.
So either the speed ratings supplied by Intel are intended for use in 1-inch thin laptop enclosures and Apple simply kept the iMacs at the same speeds so the MacBook Pros would be as fast or faster. Or, Intel are keeping the speeds down because the Core 2 Duos can't clock as fast yet.
I guess moddin macs must be really catching on to be doing submersive liquid cooling. True sickness! When chips are in their first yeald they are slower as yield is not as high. As intel perfects the new chips manufacturing process they will get faster and will have higher yields. Most low end chips at the end of life of a cpu can be clocked as fast or faster then the highest clocked retail version. That also means that the core duos will get cheaper and probably sooner than later.
