I remember pushing my K6 on dry ice. Windows 95/98 was awesome fast with 512MB of RAM, and it made NFS Porsche play much better.

Doing the same with a a few blocks of dry ice in the cabinet with my Prescott and 9600XT, or running with the windows open in -20 weather to get better overclocks. If I never knew what a faster processor felt like I would have never really upgraded and the same now. That is how this drives innovation from Intel and AMD, multi-core chips were only for servers and power users a few years back. Now we are rocking 45nm quads.

and 8 core procs will be out before we know it! I think this is good though, it will push programs to all be written multithreaded. It will really open up what can be done on a computer.

This OCing is what pushes companys to keep making there procs faster and more efficient. Gotta love it!

I see all your analogies and I was kinda expecting these answers, but I don't think they apply in this particular case. Sure, you can't drive a dragster on the street, but at least it's driveable. Don't tell me that it explodes in 2 minutes.

Proof of concept is the Veyron. You can drive a Veyron, you can own a Veyron, the producer is losing money just to prove that it's possible to have such a car. But you can enjoy it, drive it... It brings you satisfaction... See my point ?

How can you enjoy or even use a box that you can't leave alone for 3 minutes ? It's like making a starship that flies at 15 000 miles/hour and can reach 30 000 miles for 2 seconds every year. Will that help me colonize the solar system faster ? Not really. Will I get top bragging rights and a poster on a billboard somewhere ? Definitely.

I, for one, still fail to see the point... No offense to anyone

LE. Oh and btw while I'm at it... IMO, innovation is necessary to make something worthy of being deemed "proof of concept". If I make the same starship that uses chemical engines every year and I keep bragging about every extra mile per hour I get out of improved fuels, I'm still not going to colonize the Universe any time soon. Bottom line is every dude out there with that hardware, two hands, a pair of gloves and some basic computer knowledge could have done that.

Let me know when they get a 200 000 score out of a quantum computer that requires no cooling... That's gonna make a serious impression on me

They WILL blow up in 2 minutes. No cooling for extended run times in these drag cars.
You asked. And no, I still do not see your point.

What's funny is all these people posting from a site that's almost dedicated to ocing......ATi Tool anyone?

no thx i prefer ati tray tools

While, yes, to some extent, this is "cool", I think that there should be a new benchmark, called sustainable 3DMark06. What is it? The PC must be closed box and switched on for 24hours WITHOUT interference by user, and then the benchmark is run.

This open mb on a desk with liquid nitrogen is, yes, cool, but also BS as a test of workstation performance.

LOL amen brotha!!!

I might as well join a car forum and then start crappin on about how dumb horsepower is and that everyone should buy a hyundai!!! haahaaa :banghead:

That'd make for an interesting benchmark for those of us that prefer 24/7 OCs - I find that kind bench similar to NASCAR stock card, or race cars built for the 24hr LeMans. Endurance.

But, still, an open system like that has a purpose in itself, and I still fall back on the analogy to a top fuel funny car. It's designed for one specific purpose and nothing else. I don't see anywhere that says his setup is supposed to be reperesentative of the extremes a workstation is capable of. All I see are the numbers.
