    Eh don't bother with liquid nitrogen. You can run for a few minutes like that, there's no point. Look for permanent cooling solutions. If you can't run your SW/Games at that high speed what's the point...?

    Lowest for me was probably around -15 (Prometeia - gone now).

    Yesterday, I got mine the coldest it's ever been! Just under 35c during game play which as you can probably imagine, I'm very happy about. On friday I installed a Coolermaster Aero7+ and used some Arctic Silver 5. The results, I'm sure you'll all agree, speak for themselves.

    The Aero7+ is brilliant, and the little fanspeed adjustment knob is utterly great, because at full speed it's quite shrill, but turning down the speed a bit, and it's quite silent. It's currently running at half speed or thereabouts and I'm getting 42c, which is grand at this time of night. I can turn it up when I'm playing something then during the day, but even at lowest speed, I'm still getting far better results than before, seeing as it would often going up to near 60c during play.

    I'm quite content with it altogether, and the it looks quite flash with the old windowed side panel. :D

    I have a vapochill PE

    It can cool the CPU to -19oC

    Had a p4 3.0Ghz running stable @ 3.8Ghz

    I'd say you could push a 3.2 well over 4Ghz with the right RAM & Motherboard.

    It's for sale btw ;) with a load of extra's. See my signature.

    Until you fried the chip, oui? :P

    I still can't figure out how you managed that one.

    I was using an incompatible motherboard - Asus & Vapochill don't mix

    Lowest ive ever had my CPU was 21'C with water cooling, 2x120mm fans on full blast and the CPU not overclocked (voltage lowered).

    In general my idle temps are 35-45'C depending on if i have the 2 fans running or just the one (both at 5v) , and my system at 2400mhz ........ eh its ok, am going more for silence at the min.
