What else in a system can really keep up with that to make it worth chancing a meltdown? Seems like putting a jet engine on a regular motorcycle. The potential for real speed is there, but if the rest of the bike (and the rider) can't put it to effective use, it's wasted AND dangerous.

But it's still cool to know it can be done. :P

What a shoddy set-up. A couple days' more preparation would have helped that rig. He had no heater around the cooling die so those dangerously cold temps were transferring to the rest of the board and parts that likely could not have withstood it. Not to mention the condensation flowing off that cooling rig settling on the PCB. I think he could have pushed it harder for longer with a little more work on it. Study the current phase-change rigs and go from there.

I've thought of going phase change on my main rig when it retires from service next year. It'd be fun to see how quickly I can encode video when both chips are pushing past 4 GHz

I do not consider that to be an overclock. An overclock (for me) is a speed boost that comes for little/no extra cost to the user that requires no special equipment and is completely stable.

I do enjoy seeing people pushing the boundaries, but for most users it is a novelty project and not a computer that can be left on 24/7.

I disagree. Overclocking, by definition, is running a component higher than its rated speed.

mujahid7ia,

First of all, good to see you around.

Secondly, I didn't try to define overclocking itself, just my personal view on what a real overclock is.
