i just brought a liquid Nitrogen cooling system for £100 "bargain" only for a laugh at first, its quiet big nearly the size of the computer its self so most of it is outside the computer. but it is so cool i'm running a Pentium 4 2ghz now at 5.25ghz FINE CPU temp is -190c lol, there is a tube that comes from the liquid Nitrogen container/tank right down to the CPU contained " i got a clear tube because i wanted to see whats going on my CPU looks like its spent a week in my freezer its frozen with frost over the top of it, its all contained so the nitrogen will only ever hit the top, best bit about it is its all recyclable as the CPU heats up the liquid nitrogen(now frozen on the CPU) evaporates and floats back up the tube back into the liquid nitrogen tank as CPU temp gets to a certainty point (fully adjustable) it shots it back down with a shhhhh like some funky car engine. let me know what you all think

Cool :)
But only 5Ghz? Try 10 and see what happens.

lol i been thinking about it believe me i have to restrain myself not to push that slide-bar across things are very fast, now looking into doing the same to my ddr ram and seeing if there is a way to over clock that to maybe a gig :pray: that would be nice

Is that thing stable, can it last prime 95? Benchmarks, 3dmarks TELL US!!
What RAM do you have, and what divider are you running?
Do you have a Willy or a Northy?
You should replace the 2.0 to a 2.4c !!! Get a prescott, it will go MUCH higher! Maybe even 6GHZ !!!
But only 5Ghz? Try 10 and see what happens.
5.5 GHZ was the maximum OC ever made by the biased people at Tom's Hardware place. It's impossible to do that. or were you being sarcastic?
-----
I have a 3.2c that can boot at 4 GHZ, but the fastest stable I can get is 3.6GHZ. ( I only have air cooling [ Aero 4 ] )
Tell us the benchmarks NOW!

My question is what do you have setup to prevent all that frozen condensation from melting down on to the rest of your components? A little water goes a long way to ruining a motherboard :-(

OK, this doest mean any think to me like i said i started this for a laugh, but when i phoned up my friend and asked him how to get a benchmark for my CPU i got a crowed round here and there all taking it very serious, at 5.25ghz i got 245fps(peak) in UT2004 "i'm being told this is very high maybe even a record" we benchmarked it with 3dmarks and got 314fps
again i was told that was good we pushed it hard and at times got unstable, might be my RAM, still i was told this was nowhere near as high as some people have got. but i'm not to bothered because i'm not an overclocking tech again i'll say i only brought it for a laugh and i thought it looked funky, besides things are happening very quick here faster than my eyes can tell anyway.

the bottom of the tube has a seal and clips for where my old heat sink used to attach, its got a solid bottom so it sits round the CPU socket very well

> What is the 3dmark score? On 3dmark 01 I get 300-400fps all the time...
Use also the Sisoftware Sandra memory bandwidth test, that is the crucial factor in decyphering overall CPU performance.
Also, what RAM do you have, and are you running 1:1 or on a divider?
What voltage are your running?
Northwood or Williamete?
IMHO, it's not your RAM. Having a 2.0 at 5GHZ, certain instability, specially without droop and voltage mods on the mobo.
