Clock Rate Record With The P4: 5.25 GHz At -196°C

This is the clock rate we achieved with the P4. At this clock rate, however, benchmark tests were no longer possible.
The image above shows the result of the extreme overclocking. We gradually raised the FSB clock rate from 200 MHz (standard) to almost 310 MHz. Intel's marketing strategists would no doubt term this FSB1233.

After an hour's operation, ice crystals formed on the modules around the CPU heat sink.

Ice-cold: temperatures on the cooling head are now lower than -190°C

If they stopped cooling it the processor would die.

Now, with that big of a heatsink how do you plan to close the tower? How do you plan to renew the liquid nitrogen without blowing up your PC

you will notice that this was done outside... so not very safe I bet. Also you would never be able to keep switching the system on and off as the ice would damage the pc
