I don't believe this has been posted yet; sorry if it has.

It's not exactly new news, but still...insane! :D

Beautiful!

Must not be stable....no benches. But getting it to even post at those speeds is awesome...like the 6ghz p4

Its very advanced and very expensive vapor phase change cooling.

Its hard to setup and hard to tweak, you burn up a lot of parts doing this if you take things to the levels these guys do.

Prometia Mach II (also now called Nventiv Mach II) is around $1100US out the door. Just for the cooling.

That cooling setup makes Mach II look like a stock HSF. I seem to recall some cascade systems costing between 5 and 10k to build.

That is a home made cooling cascade, not bought.

Ricky and Pedro Rocha are from Portugal and some of the best OC's around...

I've already postes this info :)

I know, im saying thats the lowest of what they use there, they have a couple watercoolers etc.

Hell some of these guys use Mach II on their northbridges and gpus :p

wow, thats sweet. It actually booted and at default voltage too! Hopefully some more benchmarks will be posted.

In extreme overclocking, cooling > voltage. At absolute zero, it should theoretically be possible to run a processor at an infinite speed on practically 0 volts :) but that's relativity stuff and absolute zero is one of those areas where normal physics goes out the door.
