Apr 4 2007, 7:00am CDT | by Luigi Lugmayr

The OCTB team at MadShrimps takes the Intel X6800 CPU to its limits by cooling it with Liquid Nitrogen.

Quote:
"Today we take a closer look at what it takes to overclock a new Intel Core 2 X6800 beyond the limits of air cooled speeds. In general if one wants to push his hardware further than intended by the manufacturer the cooling of the device is upgraded as well as the power input. In this particular case with a CPU this means higher vcore voltage and a more extreme cooling solution. "
