An overclock to 5Ghz at a time when such a goal was unimaginable, Tom's Hardware produced this clip and ever since its factualness has been much debated. They apparently use a Pentium 4 with ASUS P4C800-E, MSI GeForce FX5950 Ultra, Corsair DDR550 Pro, Liquid Nitrogen for the CPU and an Asetek Vapochill for the Northbridge. But whether or not it actually ever happened it still is a cool movie well worth watching!

Sure you did. What, do you live in the arctic circle? Ambient temp does make a big difference with air cooling.

Not unless you could keep a continuous supply of liquid N2 handy as it would continuously evaporate at room temperature.

This is the p4 we're talking about here. The last steppings could hit 7 or so on ln2, so it's no surprise that THG was hitting 5...in fact, when this video was filmed, people over at extremesystems were hitting 6

Let's assume this: This cold product is -200C, and ambient temp is around...say 20C. It's a biiiiig impact. Although, great chilly water, NOT TO DRINK though.
