Delidded for sure, Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut used on die and IHs and pot temp has been -196°C
Thanks! Would be great to see a video of getting everything ready... maybe a series of videos... getting OS prepped. Getting board and CPU and mems and VGA prepped. BIOS set-up. Mods. Then the benchmarks... a full capture of every step... every single one... would be great to see. Even when things go wrong... we like drama! Think back to Macci's videos back in x850 days and beyond... but with more info. XOC is missing this sort of personality that isn't so tied into competition... it would be great.

..Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut used on die and IHs..

How does it compare to Coollaboratory Liquid Ultra? Does it make a difference for sub-ambient cooling?

There's a few other tweaks that work quite well, for me, in case of benchmarks. Though I'm not sure if hwbot will allow them. Also great to see the record holder come here & share his experience!

No, it's a proper record.
You don't complain about turning and/or handling in a record-setting dragster, do you?

That all depends. Does said dragster have either an Intel or nVidia sponsorship? If yes, then I would venture to say yes.....some people will complain.

LM is good up to - 70...then it turns really bad!!!

SuperPi is definitely the benchmark that takes the most knowledge and skill to produce world class results. Wondering why he only ran 3C/3T? Why even run that many? All you need is 1C/1T. Why XP? Because anybody who knows anything knows that's what you use for SPi(and stripped down to the bare minimum...with the olive green theme...;)). Along with copy waza and all the rest of the "secret sauce".

@Dancop nice job man. RESPECT!

1/1 is possible, but yeah, the os and all other processes run there! Core 1 (means second core) is usually enough then, but my third core (core2) runs much higher than core1

Meh. I don't really care much for cooling with consumable materials. I don't really understand why it's as much of a thing as it is. I would be more interested what CPUs are capable of doing under phase change which is a much more viable option for a longer duration overclock and testing session. It's still a bit on the extreme side but, at least it's a bit more practical. What good is a computer if you can't do anything practical with it?

Depends on what you bought it for and that's up to the owner.
Dancop doesn't have to worry about the cost - He's one of the sponsored guys.

As for why it's the thing it is, well, why is any sport what it is?
Competition - As it's always been before with sports in general.

I get that - You had to earn the privilege of being sponsored like everyone else.
I know that it wasn't a case of someone just came up to you and started letting you get stuff, that had to be something you showed yourself worthy of and you did just that with results.

Everyone started on the same level with the same expenses getting there, it's just that very few get as far as you have - You earned it and nothing wrong with that.

...but why?! I get it... the record but then again this is kind of pointless, that's my opinion :)
It is for the fact that it CAN go a bit faster. Me included, overclockers always want the ultimate maximum performance they can push out of their setups!

really...I did not think about that (ironic)...I am talking about this specific type of OC (with LN2) that you don't use in a real world scenario

You're not using Dragsters on the normal streets also to go for groceries shopping, aren't you? ;)
It's THE NEED FOR SPEED my friend! And it's always going to be without any boring purpose. ;)

I feel the same about dragsters my friend ;) but I see the point ... testing the limits helps you to evolve but then again this "record breaking" still useless to me :)

It is not that we will be running CPUs at LN2 temps and 7 GHz all the time, however it shows just how far the architecture has evolved. The higher frequencies prove that the manufacturing process has improved, and allows for better IPC at the same time.

The architecture changes quite fast, this record does not prove anything ... to me at least ;)

Like what?
For science? I mean correct me if I'm wrong, but Intel uses this data to formulate what they can do in future products. Otherwise, without overclockers, y'all wouldn't have any chips specced over 4.7 GHz. Intel wouldn't have been able to identify that 5 GHz was very possible without the help of overclockers. That's why LN2 submissions matter, because for quantum computing, this information will be VERY important.
