    I prefer real world benchmarking, though the insanity of this attempt is lovely.

    I'd rather just wait until computers really are able to realistically reach those speeds. I never understood such experiments, it's not like they're going to leave their PCs like that in order to have that speed everyday or something. And it's proven by now that doing this overclocks stuff, not much more to discover.

    Well, if people wanna continue wasting their money that's their business :)

    Liquid nitro experiments are nothing new, some crazy germans already did that years ago with the prescott, which I think is still the hottest processor ever.

    They literally froze the damn thing, to the point it was giving all kinds of weird erratic results.

    Not to mention a setup like that is going to cause condensation on the electronics.

    Not good for a long term setup.

    I think hookers would have been a better use of that money.

    That or running Mario Galaxy 2 at 1080p 60hz.

    And still, 80% of the time I use my cell phone just for making calls.

    Those things are already overpowered!
