Overclocking an Intel over 5ghz

As long as your not dumb w/ it its like the same as dry ice.

Same as dry ice? It's significantly colder than dry ice (solid carbon dioxide). Not to mention it's a liquid. As a result, it can not only do much more damage than solid carbon dioxide, but is more likely to do so as a result of its ability to spill.

If a chunk of dry ice fell on your hand, you'd be able to drop it, pretty much reflexively. Now imagine a small amount of liquid nitrogen pouring on your hand. Instant frostbite. Not pleasant, definitely much more dangerous.

I said its LIKE the same as dry ice. I didnt say it was exactly the same, because that is wrong.

dry ice:
CO2
or
O = C = O

liquid nitrogen:
N2
or
N ≡ N

anyway, I've seen an article about that 7GHZ P4.

but I think we shouldlook forward to the next CPU's out

i belive the world record is FUGGER, P4 @ 7.2GHz

When you said it was "LIKE the same" as dry ice, especially since you were responding to a post that talked about not wanting to fool around with it, you seemed to imply that the approximate danger of handling these is similar "as long as you're not dumb". My point was that it's not. Liquid nitrogen is much more dangerous to handle, for the reasons I outlined in my previous post.

If you meant something completely different, I'm still missing it. Please clarify.

No, the world record is 500Ghz....

No, the world record is 500Ghz....

no, that is on a transistor... not an actual processor that could actually run anything.

There's even a whole article on it. That's a single transistors SWITCH speed, not a network of millions of transistors working together to form a CLOCK speed.

but it can be a great radio tuner

Yeah, I didn't care enough to read the article.

Oh well, guess FUGGER has the record.
