dont think they would why not water cool it you can hit 5Ghz with good watercooling kit
how would that work? ln2 has to be applied to the pot repeatedly through out even just a half hour bench. Do you have access to ln2? If you know what your doing to use ln2 you really dont need ocuk to pre build you a system, if you dont know what your doing, you really shouldnt be ****ing about with this stuff

you may well get a stable system with LN2 but good luck using it day to day.
a decent water loop would be more than enough cooling for 5ghz but you could have the best w/c setup around but it doesnt mean your gonna get 5ghz.

Look into thermoelectrics or phase change for 24/7 operation, not liquid nitrogen.
Overclockers are unlikely to build a computer using those for you either, but have sold individual phase change units in the past.
It seems a reasonable premise that if you cannot handle the trivial task of plugging components into a motherboard, you won't fare well with below ambient cooling. Weirdly the blog in your sig appears to show you putting together a DIY SAN in a 4U chassis.

This thread made me laugh.
Im pretty sure 8 Pack systems will be out soon featuring 5Ghz under water and possibly under air (it is possible).
24/7 LN2 is a stupid idea with present technology.. Have a go yourself if you want.

I suppose it is possible - provided you have a plant extracting the N2 from the air, compressing it to a liquid, which runs through a heat exchanger to get the temperature back down, before pouring it into a pot - but it just looks like a bonkers way to run an open loop phase change system

I run a 5Ghz 3770k with water absolutely no problem's. LN2 rigs are for benching and pushing systems well beyond their capable limits for competitive and benchmarking reasons this is not a day to day thing.
