Hmmm...
Yeah i've seen that for a while now. It's pretty need how they got it up that high, but I doubt they will ever be using that motherboard again... Or the chip, just because of the Liquid Nitrogen. A smart idea would have been to use the Liquid Nitrogen in almost like a water cooling setup. If they did that I think they would be able to actually close the case, and perhaps use a connector to the back or front of the computer to replace the nitrogen everytime it runs out. That would be a great idea, but I don't think it would run to well with anyone considering if you did the Liquid Nitrogen wouldn't last more than perhaps a week in a large tank. Well anyways, maybe someone will be stupid enough to try it with an athlon XP. I'd really like to see those mutha fookers overclocked. That would be something really interesting. The Athlon XP 4000+. I'd like to see intel beat that one. :smilewink :p

id love to see the new 3.06 intel or the new 3000+ athlon oc to mebbe a gigahertz more (im being conservatve
)anyway, you would as CW said perhaps enclose everyhting in a case that transfer energy easily, and have the liquid nitro running around in in a circular fashion.... then again, it would be incredible to see a 1800 watt airconditoner hooked up to a athlon chip.......that would be funnn!

I have heard this term " overclocking " many of times. But what exactly is it? And why would you want to do it. Seems to me if you're having to cool your machine with chemicals, then you are putting undue stress on it and that it's gonna blow . Seems like a waste of hard earned money to me. But please enlighten me :?

Hey fluff, Over clocking simply means running you processor faster than it is "rated".
this is usually done by changing/adjusting something called the FSB (FrontSideBus). You can also overclock by changing another setting that the processor chip uses called the multiplier. (Usually if you want to increase the multiplier past the RATED limit of the chip you need to do a little creative work on the chip itself--usually by connecting 2 very tiny metal "dots" on the chip) The FSB and the Multiplier can usually be changed in the BIOS (some motherboards--Like ABIT, make it very easy--you just open the bios and change a number or numbers. In most other motherboards you physically change little switches located on the motherboard itself. When you overclock to any great extent (more than 10%) you need to increase the voltage that goes to your processor to get it to do more "work". As the chip does more "work" it gives off heat. More work= more heat (running the processor at a faster Speed= the Processor gets hotter and needs to disapate the extra heat--or else it gets too hot and stops working.) By using different methods to cool the processor and remove the excess heat you can run the chip faster and faster (as long as you are able to remove the heat and keep it cool) In this little story they were using liquid nitrogen, which is VERY COLD and can keep the chip very cool--> so they can run the processor at a higher speed. Thats it, without getting too technical. Hope it helps you understand. I Actually have an AthlonXP 1800 chip, which I slightly overclock so that I end up with it running at the equivilent speed of an AthlonXP 2000.

A system called the 'Prometia' is available that works using 'phase change' technology for cooling. Have a look at this little thing on overclockers:
http://www.cpudatabase.com/CPUdb/ This little Database shows CPU's registered from different areas with different cooling. Most impressive is the Pentium 4 2.4C/800 bus at 3900MHz. There is a P4 3GHz/800 bus at 4.GHz however. These systems are both with Prometia, a review of it can be found here.
