hicookie from XS... saw this the other day. 5.7GHz is insane!

That bus speed suddenly makes the 750 a lot more attractive than 920!

Speaking of sub zero cooling. Did you ever get my email about that copy of HAWKS from your £10 Sub Zero thread?

I don't mean to nag as you were offering a FREE game, I was just kind of looking forward to playing it.

Here is a review of the TWKR under LN2...

http://www.legitreviews.com/article/1009/3/

I would love to have a play around with some LN2 on one of my i7 rigs, I think it would be so much fun!!

LOL@this!!!

I spotted this on XS a while ago, but I didn't realize it was from that review above..

They pulled the LN2 pot off the mobo while it was still freezing cold, and the socket got ripped off the board leaving the processor stuck to the LN2 pot!!!

On XS the guys said that the processor was perfectly fine after this, no damage to it whatsoever, just the board that got anhiliated!!

Oh, I guess it must have got lost in the post somewhere.

Any idea what RAM they used for that, looks like Gskill but anyone know the model?

i7 870 @ 5.7GHz caught my eye.

I then noted vCore of 1.808v which promptly took it out! :eek:
